SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of finding high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific information by automatically routing queries to the most appropriate search backend, saving researchers from manually filtering through low-quality web results.

Core Features & Use Cases

Intelligent Routing: Automatically selects between fast web search, deep research synthesis, or academic paper databases based on query complexity.
Academic Prioritization: Specifically targets scholarly sources like PubMed, arXiv, and top-tier journals to ensure evidence-based results.
Use Case: A researcher needs to find recent systematic reviews on CRISPR gene editing; the Skill detects the academic intent and queries Perplexity sonar-pro-search to return a curated list of high-impact papers with DOIs.

Quick Start

Use the research-lookup skill to find the latest peer-reviewed papers on quantum error correction published in 2024.
