parallel-web/parallel-agent-skills

15 agent skills in one repository, published by parallel-web. One command installs the lot; each skill also has its own page below.

1. choose-your-parallel-apiResearch

   Choose the right Parallel API and configuration for cost, latency, and answer quality. Use when adding live web data to an app: current events and prices, a cited answer in a chat, grounding an agent in sources it can read in full, reading a URL or PDF, deep research reports, researching or enriching every row of a list or CRM. Use when picking among Search and Extract, Responses, and Task, or when choosing a search mode, reasoning effort, or Task processor. Also use when an integration is too slow, costs more than expected, or misses answers that are on the web.

2. migrate-to-parallelResearch

   Migrate Exa, Tavily, Perplexity, or Firecrawl web-data integrations completely to the appropriate Parallel products while preserving application behavior. Use when replacing these providers' SDKs or REST calls, dependencies, environment variables, request parameters, response parsing, model tools, search-plus-scrape paths, full-content or answer-synthesis paths, tests, and documentation; separating unsupported research-index, crawl, browser, file-parse, monitor, or other non-search capabilities; auditing for leftover provider usage; or finishing and verifying an in-progress provider migration.

3. parallel-cli-setup

   Set up and maintain the Parallel CLI (install, auth, balance, skills install)

4. parallel-data-enrichmentResearch

   Bulk data enrichment. Adds web-sourced fields (CEO names, funding, contact info) to lists of companies, people, or products. Use for enriching CSV files or inline data. Supports multi-turn: pass --previous-interaction-id from a prior research task to carry context forward.

5. parallel-deep-researchResearch

   ONLY use when user explicitly says 'deep research', 'exhaustive', 'comprehensive report', or 'thorough investigation'. Slower and more expensive than parallel-web-search. For normal research/lookup requests, use parallel-web-search instead. Supports follow-ups with a known prior Task interaction ID.

6. parallel-findallResearch

   Discover entities (companies, people, products, etc.) matching a natural-language description. Use when the user asks to 'find all X' or 'list every Y that…' — e.g., 'Find AI startups that raised Series A in 2026', 'List roofing companies in Charlotte NC', 'Show me YC W24 dev tools companies'. Different from web-search (which returns webpages) and deep-research (which returns a narrative report). Use this when the user wants a structured list of entities.

7. parallel-mcp-setup

   Use when installing, configuring, or troubleshooting an authenticated Parallel Search MCP connection in Bifrost, including gateway-level search settings and downstream tool access.

8. parallel-memory

   Recall past Parallel Task, Monitor, and FindAll runs when they may help; evict runs or clear memory when asked.

9. parallel-monitor

   Continuously track the web for changes on a recurring cadence. Use when the user asks to 'monitor', 'track changes to', 'watch', or 'alert me when' something on the web changes — e.g., 'Track price changes for iPhone 16', 'Alert me when Tesla files a new 8-K', 'Monitor competitor pricing pages weekly'. Also use to list, inspect, update, or stop existing monitors, including requests to delete them.

10. parallel-search-evaluation

    Use for search evaluation, a POC or bake-off, Parallel vs Exa/Tavily comparisons, SimpleQA/DeepSearchQA benchmarks, or diagnosing search evaluation results. For product selection use choose-your-parallel-api; for integration migration use migrate-to-parallel.

11. parallel-search-setup

    Use when verifying, using, or troubleshooting the anonymous Parallel Search MCP server bundled with this plugin — when the user installs the plugin, says "set up Parallel Search", "Parallel search isn't working", hits 429 rate limits from Parallel, or asks how to get higher limits. Also covers how to use the web_search and web_fetch tools the bundled server provides. For an authenticated gateway deployment use parallel-mcp-setup; for the CLI-backed skills use parallel-cli-setup.

12. parallel-web-extract

    CLI-backed URL extraction. Use when the user explicitly invokes this skill, needs CLI-only controls or saved JSON output, or no Parallel web_fetch MCP tool is available. When the bundled Parallel Search MCP is available, prefer its web_fetch tool for ordinary webpages, articles, PDFs, and JavaScript-heavy sites.

13. parallel-web-searchResearch

    CLI-backed web search. Use when the user explicitly invokes this skill, needs CLI-only controls or saved JSON output, or no Parallel web_search MCP tool is available. When the bundled Parallel Search MCP is available, prefer its web_search tool for ordinary lookups and current-information queries. Only use parallel-deep-research if the user explicitly requests deep or exhaustive research.

14. resultResearch

    Get completed research task result by run ID

15. statusResearch

    Check running research task status by run ID
