alterlab-perplexity
From the author
Run AI web searches with real-time, citation-grounded answers using Perplexity Sonar models (sonar, sonar-pro, sonar-pro-search agentic search, sonar-reasoning-pro) via LiteLLM and a single OpenRouter API key. Use when searching for current information or recent scientific literature, getting answers grounded in cited web sources, verifying a claim against current evidence, or reaching information beyond the model's training cutoff. Requires an OpenRouter API key. This is the direct single-backend Perplexity tool: for automatic routing between Perplexity and other backends use alterlab-research-lookup, and for structured per-paper experimental-data extraction (sample sizes, effect sizes, quality scores) use alterlab-bgpt-search. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

- perplexity-searchforyourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-SkillsPerform AI-powered web searches with real-time information using Perplexity models via LiteLLM and OpenRouter. This skill should be used when conducting web searches for current information, finding recent scientific literature, getting grounded answers with source citations, or accessing information beyond the model knowledge cutoff. Provides access to multiple Perplexity models including Sonar Pro, Sonar Pro Search (advanced agentic search), and Sonar Reasoning Pro through a single OpenRouter API key.Science★ 3.8K
- alterlab-research-lookupAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsLook up current research and scholarly papers by auto-routing each query to the best backend — the Parallel Web Systems Chat API (general research) or Perplexity sonar-pro-search via OpenRouter (academic paper searches) — and save every result with citations to sources/. Use when finding papers, gathering research data, verifying scientific claims, or assembling citation lists and unsure which search backend fits. For plain general web search or extracting content from a known URL prefer alterlab-parallel-web; to call Perplexity directly with a chosen Sonar model prefer alterlab-perplexity.

- research-lookupK-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsCompiles current scholarly evidence for a scientific manuscript or research brief when the user explicitly asks to gather literature, references, background evidence, competing findings, or a manuscript research packet. Uses Parallel Search by default, Parallel Extract for source retrieval, Parallel Research for explicitly deep/exhaustive work, optional explicit Parallel Chat, and optional Perplexity only when requested or allowed as a failure fallback.Science★ 54.5K
- alterlab-parallel-webAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsSearch the web, run deep research, and extract content from known URLs via Parallel Web Systems — the Chat API (Beta, OpenAI-compatible `base`/`core` research models) for synthesized answers with inline citations and the Extract API v1 for URL content — with notes on the raw Search, Task, and Responses APIs. Use when running general web searches, current-events/market/technical lookups, broad information gathering, comprehensive research reports, or verifying a specific URL's content (requires PARALLEL_API_KEY). For scholarly paper retrieval or dual-backend academic lookup that auto-routes to Perplexity prefer alterlab-research-lookup instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 78
