What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables real-time research information lookup using Perplexity's OpenRouter Sonar models, automatically selecting between fast search and deep reasoning to surface scholarly results with citations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Academic search: Retrieve recent papers, reviews, and conference results.
  • Technical methods and protocols: Look up standard procedures and methodologies.
  • Statistics and data: Gather current figures and datasets with sources.
  • Citations and sources: Obtain complete bibliographic information for references.

Quick Start

  1. Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in the environment.
  2. Run a query: python scripts/research_lookup.py "Recent advances in CRISPR gene editing 2024"

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I retrieve academic papers and citations for recent research topics?▼

Academic research lookup automatically searches peer-reviewed sources and returns complete citations with DOIs. Set your OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable, then query the Skill with your research topic—it selects between fast search and deep reasoning based on complexity and surfaces scholarly results structured for manuscripts.

Can I use this for looking up technical methods and protocols in science?▼

Yes. Research lookup retrieves standard procedures, methodologies, and technical documentation with source attribution. It prioritizes institutional reports and peer-reviewed protocols, making it suitable for protocol validation and methodology research across engineering and life sciences.

What's the best way to gather current statistics and data with sources?▼

Research lookup fetches current figures and datasets with full bibliographic information and DOIs, surfacing institutional and peer-reviewed data. Results are structured for direct citation in reports, eliminating manual source tracking.

Does research lookup work with OpenRouter and Perplexity's Sonar models?▼

Research lookup is built on OpenRouter's Perplexity Sonar Pro and Sonar Reasoning Pro models. It automatically selects the appropriate model—fast search for straightforward queries, reasoning for complex analysis—requiring only an OPENROUTER_API_KEY for operation.

How do I integrate research results into Claude Code workflows?▼

Research lookup outputs structured results suitable for Claude Code integration, with citations and metadata formatted for direct embedding in automated analysis, report generation, and downstream processing pipelines.

What happens if my API credentials are invalid or missing?▼

Research lookup includes robust API credential handling. If OPENROUTER_API_KEY is missing or invalid, the Skill fails safely with clear error messaging, requiring credential validation before queries execute.
