A research helper that searches for academic papers, references, and research methods using Perplexity, an internet research service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for literature searches, specific author or paper lookups, methodology questions, paper comparisons, and verified BibTeX citations.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent finding relevant literature and checking whether paper details and citations are correct.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

research scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2mo 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Research Skill

Search for academic papers and references using the Perplexity MCP server.

Examples

  • /research corporate bond measurement error bias -- broad literature search
  • /research Blume Stambaugh 1983 -- find a specific paper
  • /research recent working papers on [topic] -- recent work
  • /research Smith Jones 2023 bibtex -- search and generate BibTeX

Tool Selection

  • Use perplexity_research for broad literature surveys
  • Use perplexity_search for specific paper/author lookups
  • Use perplexity_ask for quick methodology questions
  • Use perplexity_reason for analytical comparisons

Workflow

  1. Parse the user's query from $ARGUMENTS
  2. Choose the appropriate Perplexity tool based on query type
  3. Execute the search
  4. Format results:
    • Title, Authors, Year, Journal/Venue
    • DOI or URL when available
    • Brief summary of relevance to the current project (check guidance/paper-context.md for themes)
  5. Verify each paper (MANDATORY before any BibTeX generation):
    • Run a second perplexity_search with the EXACT title in quotes
    • Confirm: all author names, year, journal, volume/pages if published
    • Check if paper already exists in the .bib file
    • If any detail cannot be confirmed, mark as UNVERIFIED
    • CRITICAL: For each field, only report what Perplexity explicitly returns. If search results confirm authors + title but DO NOT mention a journal, write "Journal: UNCONFIRMED" -- NEVER fill from training data.
  6. If "bibtex" is in the query, generate verified BibTeX entries and offer to append to .bib
  7. Note which of the project's themes each result relates to (check guidance/paper-context.md if available)

Output Format

**Title** (Year)
Authors: ...
Journal: ...
DOI/URL: ...
Status: VERIFIED / UNVERIFIED / PARTIAL
Relevance: [brief note on relation to the current project]

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.
