perplexity-search

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
Search the current public web with citations through either the perplexity-mcp v2 tools or the bundled Python REST client. Use for recent information, news, fact checks, source-backed comparisons, research, file-assisted questions, native follow-ups, and detached tasks. Both transports expose the same perplexity_ask_v2, perplexity_research_v2, and task method names and response shapes.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'perplexity-search' ~/.claude/skills/'perplexity-search' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
