web-research

web-research is a skill for Claude Code from prashishh/seo-geo-report-engine. It costs 187 tokens per session (1,350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A connector for live web research that asks OpenRouter’s Perplexity Sonar models to investigate a question and return an answer with sources and citations. It is meant for questions that require information from several web pages or what an AI answer engine currently says.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run quick research probes or deeper investigations, such as finding customer opinions or checking how AI systems answer questions about a company. The returned data includes the answer, source details, citation links, model, and usage information.
Why use it?
It fills the gap between fetching one page and collecting a list of search results when you need a sourced summary across multiple sources. It can also provide a current signal about how AI engines describe a brand or topic.

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

web-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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

web-research

Live, cited web research via OpenRouter (Perplexity's Sonar model family), for the moments static WebFetch/WebSearch aren't enough: multi-hop synthesis across many sources, or literally asking an AI engine what it currently says about a brand or topic.

Why this exists

WebFetch reads one page; WebSearch lists results. Neither synthesizes across sources with citations, and neither answers "what does an AI answer engine say about us right now" — which is itself a live GEO signal, complementary to Ahrefs Brand Radar (and useful when Brand Radar or the Ahrefs MCP is unavailable, as happens with limited API budgets).

Tool

Stdlib, no install. tools/connectors/openrouter.py:

python3 tools/connectors/openrouter.py probe "What platform do hotels use for cashless tipping?"
python3 tools/connectors/openrouter.py deep "voice of customer for hotel digital tipping products"

Or from Python: from connectors.openrouter import deep_research, probe. Both return {"answer", "sources": [{"url","title","date"}], "citations": [url, ...], "model", "usage"} — the connector normalizes OpenRouter's actual response shape (citations arrive as message.annotations[].url_citation, not the top-level citations field Perplexity's own docs describe) so callers don't need to know which shape came back. Needs OPENROUTER_API_KEY in config/secrets.env (get one at openrouter.ai/keys; pay-as-you-go, no separate Perplexity account).

Two modes — pick deliberately, cost differs ~50-100x

  1. Deep research (deep_research(), perplexity/sonar-deep-research, ~$0.04-0.05/call). An autonomous multi-step search-and-reason agent. Use for:
    • Voice-of-customer mining (customer-research) when Reddit/forums block direct crawling — ask it to synthesize what people say, with sources, instead of fetching threads one by one.
    • Competitor fact-gathering (competitor-analysis, comparison-pages) — verified, sourced facts about a rival instead of manually fetching each vendor page.
    • Market sizing statistics (market-opportunity) that need a cited, current figure.

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.
