Research Lookup

Compile the external evidence needed to plan and write a high-quality scientific manuscript. The default academic workflow targets 60 verified, unique references and produces a manuscript-ready research packet rather than a loose list of links.

Scope and boundaries

Use this skill when the user explicitly wants:

• literature and background research for a manuscript
• many high-quality academic references
• evidence supporting or contradicting a scientific claim
• a structured evidence matrix or claim-to-source map
• current studies, methods precedent, mechanisms, limitations, or research gaps

Do not activate it for casual factual questions that do not need research, private or unpublished material, or a claim that can be answered from user-provided files. Query text is sent to Parallel. It is sent to OpenRouter only when Perplexity is explicitly selected or the user enables that fallback.

This skill compiles external evidence. It cannot supply the user's unpublished study data, decide what their Results show, or guarantee systematic-review completeness. For a PRISMA-style systematic review, use literature-review for protocols, database-specific s…
