# Perplexity Search ## Overview Perform AI-powered web searches using Perplexity models through LiteLLM and OpenRouter. Perplexity provides real-time, web-grounded answers with source citations, making it ideal for finding current information, recent scientific literature, and facts beyond the model's training data cutoff. This skill provides access to all Perplexity models through OpenRouter, requiring only a single API key (no separate Perplexity account needed). ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Searching for current information or recent developments (2024 and beyond) - Finding latest scientific publications and research - Getting real-time answers grounded in web sources - Verifying facts with source citations - Conducting literature searches across multiple domains - Accessing information beyond the model's knowledge cutoff - Performing domain-specific research (biomedical, technical, clinical) - Comparing current approaches or technologies **Do not use** for: - Simple calculations or logic problems (use directly) - Tasks requiring code execution (use standard tools) - Questions well within the model's training data (unless verification needed) ## Quick Start ### Setup (One-time) 1. **Get OpenRouter API key**: - Visit https://openrouter.ai/keys - Create account and generate API key - Add credits to account (minimum $5 recommended) 2. **Configure environment**: ```bash # Set API key export OPENROUTER_API_KEY='sk-or-v1-your-key-h...
