Perplexity AI Search (Safe Edition)

Overview

This skill provides access to the Perplexity API for web-grounded AI search. It combines large language models with real-time web search, providing accurate, up-to-date answers with source citations.

This is a security-hardened version that fixes command injection vulnerabilities found in the original perplexity-bash skill.

When to Use Perplexity vs. Built-in Search

Use Perplexity when:

• You need current information (news, prices, events, recent developments)
• The user asks for source citations or references
• The user specifically mentions Perplexity or wants research-style answers

Use built-in web search when:

• Simple factual queries
• Quick information lookup
• Basic URL or content retrieval
