SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

research teams and developers often need fast, reliable access to current scholarly information across multiple backends. This skill automates routing, querying, and summarizing results from web searches, academic databases, and deep multi-source syntheses to keep literature reviews up to date.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic backend routing between parallel-cli web search, Parallel Chat API, and Perplexity sonar-pro-search to balance speed, cost, and depth.
  • Real-time lookup for papers, citations, and current research trends to support literature reviews, grant-writing, and technical documentation.
  • Seamless integration with Claude Code workflows and scientific writing practices, providing structured results with sources and citations.

Quick Start

Ask for the latest papers on a topic and let the skill route the query to the best backend, returning a structured, cited report.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-lookup

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-backend academic search and literature reviews?▼

Automate academic search by routing queries across parallel-cli web search, Parallel Chat API, and Perplexity sonar-pro-search to return structured, cited syntheses for literature reviews and grant-writing.

Can I get cited syntheses for scientific writing using Perplexity and Parallel Chat?▼

Yes, cited syntheses for scientific writing are generated by querying Perplexity sonar-pro-search for academic papers and Parallel Chat API for deep multi-source summarization, returning structured results with sources.

Do I need API keys to run parallel research lookups?▼

Yes, parallel research lookups require a PARALLEL_API_KEY for the Parallel Chat API and an OPENROUTER_API_KEY for Perplexity access, though the skill gracefully falls back to available backends when one is unavailable.

What's the best way to route research queries between web search and academic databases?▼

Route research queries automatically by using parallel-cli for fast web results, Parallel Chat API for default multi-source syntheses, and Perplexity sonar-pro-search for academic papers to balance speed, cost, and depth.

Why does my research lookup fall back to a different search backend?▼

Your research lookup falls back when one backend is unavailable, ensuring the query completes by routing to the remaining accessible backend like parallel-cli web search instead of the missing Parallel Chat API or Perplexity service.
