What it does
Perplexity is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Search the web with AI-powered answers via Perplexity API. Returns grounded responses with citations. Supports batch queries.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search and Citation management. It works with Perplexity. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Web search
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/perplexity”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in PERPLEXITY_API_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
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 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 loads about 217 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 42 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 42 words (~217 tokens).
