SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Research briefs produced by Bots often present unverified claims as settled facts, letting a single weak source carry an entire conclusion without anyone noticing. This Skill enforces source grading so every substantive claim is traceable and rated. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dual-brief research: Runs the research question twice (or two adjacent sub-questions) through the Perplexity surface to expose convergence and conflicts instead of trusting one answer. - Source grading: Marks every source as strong, adequate, or weak, and downgrades claims resting only on weak or community sources to unverified leads. - Structured synthesis: Merges both briefs into settled claims, open conflicts with both sides named, and explicit gaps, ending with the most decision-relevant claim. - Use Case: A founder asks for a deep brief comparing two vendor platforms; the Skill runs two Perplexity queries, grades each cited source, and returns a brief where every claim carries a named source and grade. ## Quick Start Ask the Bot to research a topic deeply using the perplexity-deep skill and return a brief with every claim graded against its sources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a deep-research brief with Perplexity?

Provide the research question, scope bounds, and what the two briefs should cover. The Skill runs the query twice through the configured Perplexity surface, grades each cited source as strong, adequate, or weak, and synthesizes one brief with settled claims, conflicts, and gaps.

How does source grading work in research briefs?

Each source is marked strong (vendor docs, primary data), adequate (reputable secondary), or weak (single blog, forum, stale). Claims resting only on weak or community sources are downgraded to unverified leads and never presented as settled findings.

Why does the skill require two briefs instead of one?

Two runs demonstrate that grading reflects convergence or conflict rather than a single model output. A single-brief answer is treated as a draft error, since one run cannot show whether claims are corroborated.

What happens if no Perplexity API key is configured?

The Skill states that no Perplexity surface is configured and stops. It does not improvise a brief from model memory and present it as Perplexity output, since ungraded claims would violate its core rule.

When should I not use Perplexity deep research?

Avoid it for breaking-news verification, legal or medical advice, or anything requiring primary-source certainty alone. The Skill grades sources but does not replace them, and it is read-only with no publishing or acting on findings.
