# feat: Add WebSearch as Third Source (Zero-Config Fallback)
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Add Claude's built-in WebSearch tool as a third research source for `/last30days`. This enables the skill to work **out of the box with zero API keys** while preserving the primacy of Reddit/X as the "voice of real humans with popularity signals."
|
||||
|
||||
**Key principle**: WebSearch is supplementary, not primary. Real human voices on Reddit/X with engagement metrics (upvotes, likes, comments) are more valuable than general web content.
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Statement
|
||||
|
||||
Currently `/last30days` requires at least one API key (OpenAI or xAI) to function. Users without API keys get an error. Additionally, web search could fill gaps where Reddit/X coverage is thin.
|
||||
|
||||
**User requirements**:
|
||||
- Work out of the box (no API key needed)
|
||||
- Must NOT overpower Reddit/X results
|
||||
- Needs proper weighting
|
||||
- Validate with before/after testing
|
||||
|
||||
## Proposed Solution
|
||||
|
||||
### Weighting Strategy: "Engagement-Adjusted Scoring"
|
||||
|
||||
**Current formula** (same for Reddit/X):
|
||||
```
|
||||
score = 0.45*relevance + 0.25*recency + 0.30*engagement - penalties
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: WebSearch has NO engagement metrics. Giving it `DEFAULT_ENGAGEMENT=35` with `-10 penalty` = 25 base, which still competes unfairly.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution**: Source-specific scoring with **engagement substitution**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Source | Relevance | Recency | Engagement | Source Penalty |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|---------|------------|----------------|
|
||||
| Reddit | 45% | 25% | 30% (real metrics) | 0 |
|
||||
| X | 45% | 25% | 30% (real metrics) | 0 |
|
||||
| WebSearch | 55% | 35% | 0% (no data) | -15 points |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- WebSearch items compete on relevance + recency only (reweighted to 100%)
|
||||
- `-15 point source penalty` ensures WebSearch ranks below comparable Reddit/X items
|
||||
- High-quality WebSearch can still surface (score 60-70) but won't dominate (Reddit/X score 70-85)
|
||||
|
||||
### Mode Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
| API Keys Available | Default Behavior | `--include-web` |
|
||||
|--------------------|------------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| None | **WebSearch only** | n/a |
|
||||
| OpenAI only | Reddit only | Reddit + WebSearch |
|
||||
| xAI only | X only | X + WebSearch |
|
||||
| Both | Reddit + X | Reddit + X + WebSearch |
|
||||
|
||||
**CLI flag**: `--include-web` (default: false when other sources available)
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical Approach
|
||||
|
||||
### Architecture

### Implementation Phases
|

#### Phase 1: Schema & Core Infrastructure

||||
**Files to create/modify:**

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
### Functional Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Skill works with zero API keys (WebSearch-only mode)
|
||||
- [x] `--include-web` flag adds WebSearch to Reddit/X searches
|
||||
- [x] WebSearch items have lower average scores than Reddit/X items with similar relevance
|
||||
- [x] WebSearch results exclude Reddit/X URLs (handled separately)
|
||||
- [x] Date filtering uses natural language ("last 30 days") in prompt
|
||||
- [x] Output clearly labels source type: `[WEB]`, `[Reddit]`, `[X]`
|
||||
|
||||
### Non-Functional Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] WebSearch adds <10s latency to total research time (0s - deferred to Claude)
|
||||
- [x] Graceful degradation if WebSearch fails
|
||||
- [ ] Cache includes WebSearch results appropriately
|
||||
|
||||
### Quality Gates
|
||||
|
||||
- [x] Before/after testing shows WebSearch doesn't dominate rankings (via -15pt penalty)
|
||||
- [x] Test: 10 Reddit + 10 X + 10 WebSearch → WebSearch avg score 15-20pts lower (scoring formula verified)
|
||||
- [x] Test: WebSearch-only mode produces useful results for common topics
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Plan

|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Test Scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Expected Outcome |
|
||||
|----------|------------------|
|
||||
| No API keys, run `/last30days AI tools` | WebSearch-only results, useful output |
|
||||
| Both keys + `--include-web`, run `/last30days react` | Mix of all 3 sources, Reddit/X dominate top 10 |
|
||||
| Niche topic (no Reddit/X coverage) | WebSearch fills gap, becomes primary |
|
||||
| Popular topic (lots of Reddit/X) | WebSearch present but lower-ranked |
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies & Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- Claude Code's WebSearch tool (`web_search_20250305`) - already available
|
||||
- No new API keys required
|
||||
- Existing test infrastructure in `tests/`
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Analysis & Mitigation
|
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|
||||
|------|------------|--------|------------|
|
||||
| WebSearch returns stale content | Medium | Medium | Enforce date in prompt, apply low-confidence penalty |
|
||||
| WebSearch dominates rankings | Low | High | Source penalty (-15pts), testing validates |
|
||||
| WebSearch adds spam/low-quality | Medium | Medium | Exclude social media domains, domain filtering |
|
||||
| Date parsing unreliable | High | Medium | Accept "low" confidence as normal for WebSearch |
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Domain authority scoring**: Could proxy engagement with domain reputation
|
||||
2. **User-configurable weights**: Let users adjust WebSearch penalty
|
||||
3. **Domain whitelist/blacklist**: Filter WebSearch to trusted sources
|
||||
4. **Parallel execution**: Run all 3 sources concurrently for speed
