What it does
Perplexity Research is an agent skill from inbrainfun/inbrain. Brain-augmented web research. Sends brain context about a topic to Perplexity, which searches the web with citations and returns what is NEW vs what the brain already knows. Use for entity enrichment, current-state checks, deal monitoring, and freshness deltas. NOT for simple URL fetches (use webfetch) or brain-only queries (use inbrain query).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search and Citation management. It works with Perplexity.
When your agent uses it
- Entity enrichment
- Current-state checks
- Deal monitoring
- Freshness deltas
Example prompts
- “/perplexity-research”
Requirements
- A credential in PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5231990. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.perplexity.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Perplexity Research loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 507 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:173
`~/.inbrain/.env`).
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 507 words (~1,716 tokens).
“Combines existing brain knowledge with Perplexity's web search. The agent sends brain context about a topic into a Perplexity query; Perplexity searches + reads + synthesizes multiple pages with citations, focused on what's NEW relative to the supplied context.”
