Compile current scholarly evidence for a scientific manuscript or research brief. Use when the user explicitly asks to gather literature, references, background evidence, competing findings, or a manuscript research packet. Uses Parallel Search by default, Parallel Extract for source verification, Parallel Research for explicitly deep/exhaustive work, optional explicit Parallel Chat, and optional Perplexity only when requested or allowed as a failure fallback.

# Research Lookup

Compile the external evidence needed to plan and write a high-quality scientific
manuscript. The default academic workflow targets **60 verified, unique references**
and produces a manuscript-ready research packet rather than a loose list of links.

## Scope and boundaries

Use this skill when the user explicitly wants:

- literature and background research for a manuscript
- many high-quality academic references
- evidence supporting or contradicting a scientific claim
- a structured evidence matrix or claim-to-source map
