SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, openai, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Real-time research information needs to be collected and organized from multiple sources; this skill routes queries to the most appropriate backend (Parallel Chat API by default or Perplexity academic search) and returns a unified, cited report to accelerate literature gathering and verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detects academic vs general topics and routes to Perplexity for scholarly sources or to Parallel Chat API for broad, multi-source results.
  • Returns structured outputs with inline citations, source listings, and DOI/url references suitable for citation management.
  • Supports single and batch lookups, optional JSON output, and optional persistence of results for auditability and reproducibility.

Quick Start

Execute a simple query like "What are the latest advances in quantum computing?" to obtain a comprehensive, cited research report.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get cited research results for both academic and general queries?▼

You get cited research results by routing queries through a dual-backend system that auto-detects academic topics for Perplexity scholarly search and uses Parallel Chat API for broad topics. This delivers a unified report with inline citations and source listings.

What's the best way to run batch research lookups and save the sources locally?▼

Batch research lookups are supported through a unified interface that processes multiple queries and optionally saves results to a local sources folder. This enables auditability and reproducibility for your literature gathering.

Does the research lookup tool provide JSON output for citation management?▼

The research lookup tool provides optional JSON output containing structured results with inline citations, source listings, and DOI or URL references. This format is suitable for direct integration into citation management workflows.

How does dual-backend routing decide between Perplexity and Parallel Chat API?▼

Dual-backend routing auto-detects academic versus general topics to select the appropriate backend. It routes to Perplexity academic search when scholarly sources are requested, otherwise defaulting to the Parallel Chat API for breadth and speed.

Do I need OpenAI and requests dependencies to perform real-time research lookups?▼

Yes, you need the OpenAI and requests dependencies installed to execute real-time research lookups. These libraries handle the API requests and backend communication required to retrieve and structure your cited reports.

When should I not use dual-backend routing for literature gathering?▼

Dual-backend routing is not suited for scenarios requiring offline access or non-web sources, as it depends on real-time queries to the Parallel Chat API and Perplexity academic search. It is designed for live, cited information retrieval rather than static database mining.
