Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 5 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00062 | $0.01340 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00670 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00268 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
perplexity-search scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Perplexity-Search
Use this skill when the user specifically wants Perplexity-powered search answers instead of structured scholar/web retrieval.
This skill covers four AIsa endpoints:
/perplexity/sonar/perplexity/sonar-pro/perplexity/sonar-reasoning-pro/perplexity/sonar-deep-research
Compatibility
Works with any agentskills.io-compatible harness, including:
- Claude Code and Claude (Anthropic)
- OpenAI Codex
- Cursor
- Gemini CLI (Google)
- OpenCode, Goose, OpenClaw, Hermes
- and any other harness that implements the Agent Skills specification
Requires Python 3, a POSIX shell, and AISA_API_KEY (get one at
aisa.one).
Requirements
- Set
AISA_API_KEY - Use the bundled client at
{baseDir}/scripts/perplexity_search_client.py
Model Selection
- Use
sonarfor fast, lightweight answers with citations - Use
sonar-profor stronger synthesis and comparison tasks - Use
sonar-reasoning-profor analytical or multi-step reasoning questions - Use
sonar-deep-researchfor exhaustive reports; expect slower responses and occasional timeouts
Python Client
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/perplexity_search_client.py sonar --query "What changed in AI this week?"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/perplexity_search_client.py sonar-pro --query "Compare coding agents with citations"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/perplexity_search_client.py sonar-reasoning-pro --query "Analyze whether vertical AI agents can defend against general copilots"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/perplexity_search_client.py sonar-deep-research --query "Create a deep research report on AI coding agents in 2026"
Add a system message when you want a more specific output format:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/perplexity_search_client.py sonar-pro \
--query "Map the top coding agent products" \
--system "Respond in markdown with an executive summary first."
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

perplexity-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository AIsa-team/agent-skills (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,340 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
