Look up current research and scholarly papers by auto-routing each query to the best backend — the Parallel Web Systems Chat API (general research) or Perplexity sonar-pro-search (academic paper searches) — and save every result with citations to sources/. Use when finding papers, gathering research data, verifying scientific claims, or assembling citation lists and unsure which search backend fits. For plain general web search or extracting content from a known URL prefer alterlab-parallel-web instead (requires PARALLEL_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_API_KEY). Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
