SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This frontmatter-driven skill coordinates brain context with Perplexity-powered web search to surface what is NEW versus what the brain already knows, ensuring every claim includes verifiable citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Brain-context aware search and synthesis with multi-page citations.
  • Structured outputs written to brain pages under research/ with a delta-focused narrative.
  • Use Case: perform ongoing topic monitoring, entity enrichment, and state-change detection for dynamic topics.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run perplexity research on a topic to surface what’s new with citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about perplexity-research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I surface what is new versus what my notes already know during web research?

To surface new information during web research, you can query a service like Perplexity and compare it against existing brain context. This returns a delta highlighting updates and new evidence with verifiable citations.

How does citation-backed web research work with existing brain context?

Citation-backed web research works by querying Perplexity using your existing brain_context_slugs, then synthesizing the findings into structured pages. The output highlights state changes and includes multi-page citations for every claim.

What do I need to generate structured research pages with citations from Perplexity?

To generate structured research pages with citations, you need a Perplexity API key and brain_context_slugs. The process outputs pages under a research directory featuring YAML frontmatter, sections, and citations.

Can I use this approach for ongoing topic monitoring and entity enrichment?

Yes, you can use this approach for ongoing topic monitoring and entity enrichment. It performs state-change detection for dynamic topics by continuously aligning brain knowledge with the current web state.

How do I format web research outputs into structured brain pages?

To format web research outputs into structured brain pages, the system generates files under a research directory. These files include YAML frontmatter, structured sections, and citations while adhering to integration rules.

What are the limitations of using Perplexity for brain-augmented web research?

The limitations of using Perplexity for brain-augmented web research include the requirement of a valid API key and specific brain_context_slugs. Without these prerequisites, the system cannot align existing knowledge or generate structured output pages.
