What it does
Perplexity is an agent skill from refly-ai/refly-skills. AI-powered search and chat with Perplexity. Use when you need to: (1) get AI responses with real-time web search, or (2) answer questions with up-to-date information.

When your agent uses it
- Get AI responses with real-time web search
- Answer questions with up-to-date information
Example prompts
- “/perplexity”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Run the Skill
- Wait for Completion
- Get the Run ID
- Get the Result ID
- Extract the Content
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a546d2. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Perplexity loads about 786 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 203 words (~786 tokens).
