perplexity-search
A skill for performing web searches, research, and reasoning using the Perplexity API. Handles real-time web information retrieval, deep research analysis, and advanced reasoning tasks. Use when the user asks for web searches, research, or says things like "look up", "search for", "latest information", "research", or "analyze".
What this skill does
# Perplexity Search Skill A skill for executing real-time web searches and research using the Perplexity API. ## Purpose This skill provides the following capabilities: 1. **perplexity_ask** - Answer general questions (using sonar-pro model) 2. **perplexity_research** - Deep research and comprehensive reports (using sonar-deep-research model) 3. **perplexity_reason** - Advanced reasoning and analysis (using sonar-reasoning-pro model) 4. **perplexity_search** - Retrieve web search results ## When to Use Use this skill in the following situations: - User needs up-to-date information - Received a question requiring web search - Asked to perform deep research or investigation - Complex analysis or reasoning is required - Keywords like "look up", "search for", "latest..." are included ## Prerequisites - `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` environment variable must be set - Internet connection must be available ## Usage ### Basic Usage Use the `scripts/perplexity_api.py` script to call the API. ```bash # General questions (ask) python3 scripts/perplexity_api.py ask "your question" # Deep research (research) python3 scripts/perplexity_api.py research "research topic" # Advanced reasoning (reason) python3 scripts/perplexity_api.py reason "reasoning task" # Web search (search) python3 scripts/perplexity_api.py search "search query" [--max-results 10] [--country JP] ``` ### Command Options #### ask / research / reason - First argument: question, research topic, or reasoning task - `--strip-thinking`: Remove `<think>...</think>` tags to save context tokens (research/reason only) #### search - First argument: search query - `--max-results`: Maximum number of results to return (1-20, default: 10) - `--max-tokens-per-page`: Maximum tokens per page (256-2048, default: 1024) - `--country`: ISO code for regional results (e.g., JP, US, GB) ## Workflow ### Standard Search Flow 1. Analyze the user's question and select the appropriate tool - Simple questions → `ask` - Deep research → `research` - Complex analysis → `reason` - Information gathering → `search` 2. Execute the script to call the API 3. Present results to the user, citing sources when available ### Tool Selection Guidelines | Use Case | Tool | Description | |----------|------|-------------| | Current weather, news | ask | When quick answers are needed | | Technical topic research | research | When comprehensive analysis is needed | | Complex problem analysis | reason | When logical reasoning is needed | | Collecting sources | search | When URLs or snippets are needed | ## API Details For detailed API specifications, see `references/api_reference.md`. ## Troubleshooting - **API Key Error**: Verify the `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` environment variable - **Timeout**: Increase `PERPLEXITY_TIMEOUT_MS` (default: 300000ms) - **Proxy Issues**: Set `PERPLEXITY_PROXY` or `HTTPS_PROXY`

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.
alibabacloud-data-agent-skill
IncludedInvoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
resend-cli
IncludedUse this skill when the task is specifically about operating Resend from an AI agent, terminal session, or CI job via the official resend CLI: installing/authenticating the CLI, sending/listing/updating/cancelling emails, batch sends, domains and DNS, webhooks and local listeners, inbound receiving, contacts, topics, segments, broadcasts, templates, API keys, profiles, or debugging Resend CLI/API failures. Trigger on mentions of Resend CLI, `resend`, `resend doctor`, `resend emails send`, `resend domains`, `resend webhooks listen`, `resend emails receiving`, or agent-friendly terminal automation.
alibabacloud-odps-maxframe-coding
IncludedUse this skill for MaxFrame SDK development and documentation navigation on Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute (ODPS). Helps answer MaxFrame API, concept, official example, and supported pandas API questions; create data processing programs; read/write MaxCompute tables; debug jobs (remote or local); and build custom DPE runtime images. Trigger when users mention MaxFrame, MaxCompute with MaxFrame, ODPS table processing, DPE runtime, MaxFrame docs/examples, DataFrame/Tensor operations, or GPU runtime setup. Works for both English and Chinese queries about Alibaba Cloud data processing with MaxFrame.
