Research Information Lookup
Overview
This skill provides real-time research information lookup with intelligent backend routing:
- parallel-cli search (parallel-web skill): Primary and default backend for all research queries. Fast, cost-effective web search with academic source prioritization. Uses
parallel-cli searchwith--include-domainsfor scholarly sources. - Parallel Chat API (
coremodel): Secondary backend for complex, multi-source deep research requiring extended synthesis (60s-5min latency). Use only when explicitly needed. The skill automatically detects query type and routes to the optimal backend.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need:
- Current Research Information: Latest studies, papers, and findings
- Literature Verification: Check facts, statistics, or claims against current research
- Background Research: Gather context and supporting evidence for scientific writing
- Citation Sources: Find relevant papers and studies to cite
- Technical Documentation: Look up specifications, protocols, or methodologies
