This connects Claude to Perplexity AI for web searches and research. Use it when you need current information, best practices, or finding tutorials,basically anything "search for X" or "what's the latest on Y". The skill is opinionated about tool selection: it defaults to limited results (3 instead of 10) to avoid context bloat, explicitly tells you to use Context7 for library docs instead, and warns you off the expensive research tool in favor of a researcher agent. The quick reference guide is genuinely useful, showing exactly when to use search versus ask versus when to bail to a different tool entirely. Honest take: the documentation is more valuable than the skill itself.
