research-lookup

research-lookup is a Web research & fact-checking skill for AI agents, published by crazymsn in the academic-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates research-lookup F (15/100) and the safety scan rated it unsafe; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Look up current research information using parallel-cli search (primary, fast web search), the Parallel Chat API (deep research), or Perplexity sonar-pro-search (academic paper searches). Automatically routes queries to the best backend. Use for finding papers, gathering research data, and verifying scientific information. Note: query text is transmitted to api.parallel.ai (PARALLEL_API_KEY) and, for academic searches, to openrouter.ai (OPENROUTER_API_KEY).
