SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Automates real-time research lookup by routing queries to the most suitable backend (Parallel Chat API for general research and Perplexity sonar-pro-search for academic papers), reducing time to credible, cited information.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic backend routing based on query intent (academic vs general) to prioritize high-impact sources.
  • Real-time lookups of current studies, literature verification, and comprehensive citation extraction across disciplines.
  • Batch processing capability with controlled delays and CLI/SDK compatibility, plus seamless integration with Claude Code workflows.

Quick Start

Lookup current research on a topic and rely on dual-backend routing for best results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate academic research lookups and extract citations across disciplines?

Automate academic research lookups by routing queries to a dual-backend system that selects Perplexity sonar-pro-search for academic papers and Parallel Chat API for general queries, extracting citations and verifying literature across disciplines.

What is the best way to handle real-time literature verification and current information gathering?

Real-time literature verification is handled by an automated backend routing mechanism that evaluates query intent, selecting the most suitable API to maximize relevance and preserve credible citations for current information gathering.

Can I manually override automatic backend selection for academic searches?

Yes, automatic backend selection for academic searches supports optional manual override, allowing you to force routing to either Parallel Chat API or Perplexity sonar-pro-search based on specific query requirements.

Does this research lookup tool support batch processing and rate-limit handling?

Batch processing is supported with controlled delays to satisfy rate-limits, enabling multiple research queries to execute sequentially while logging sources and preserving data provenance for each result.

How do I integrate automated research lookups with Claude Code workflows?

Automated research lookups integrate seamlessly with Claude Code workflows through CLI and SDK compatibility, executing batch queries while maintaining security, logging sources, and extracting citations automatically.
