Perform AI-powered web searches with real-time information using Perplexity models via LiteLLM and OpenRouter. This skill should be used when conducting web searches for current information, finding recent scientific literature, getting grounded answers with source citations, or accessing information beyond the model's knowledge cutoff. Provides access to multiple Perplexity models including Sonar Pro, Sonar Pro Search (advanced agentic search), and Sonar Reasoning Pro through a single OpenRouter API key.

Quick Review

Excellent skill that provides AI-powered web search via Perplexity models through OpenRouter. The description is comprehensive and clearly explains when and how to use the skill. Task knowledge is thorough with detailed setup instructions, query examples, model selection guidance, and programmatic access patterns. Structure is well-organized with a logical flow from quick start to advanced usage, though SKILL.md is lengthy (could be more concise). Novelty is strong - this genuinely reduces token costs by providing real-time information beyond training data cutoff and offering multiple specialized models for different complexity needs. The skill effectively solves the problem of accessing current information and recent scientific literature with proper citations, which would be token-intensive for a CLI agent to accomplish through other means. Minor areas for improvement: SKILL.md could be more concise by moving some details to referenced files, and the novelty score reflects that web search APIs are conceptually familiar (though the multi-model approach and scientific optimization add value).
