research-lookup

Academic research lookup retrieves current peer-reviewed sources and authoritative references for any given topic. It queries Perplexity's Sonar models via OpenRouter to deliver structured literature reviews with complete citations and DOIs.

Generating a structured literature review for biology, chemistry, and medicine topics is handled by querying Sonar models to format results with a concise summary, key studies, complete citations, and usage metadata suitable for embedding.

An OpenRouter connection is required to access Perplexity's Sonar models for literature searches. The skill relies on the requests dependency to query these models and retrieve current scholarly information with citations.

Academic research lookup supports Claude Code and CLI usage to streamline literature research and writing workflows. It outputs a consolidated list of citations with DOIs and URLs for direct integration into manuscripts.

Model-aware searching automatically selects between Sonar Pro Search for fast lookups and Sonar Reasoning Pro for deep synthesis. This ensures efficient retrieval of scholarly information based on the query's complexity requirements.

Querying scholarly information via OpenRouter targets biology, chemistry, medicine, and related fields with emphasis on citations and DOIs. Research outside these target domains may yield less structured or authoritative peer-reviewed results.
