Individual skill
research-lookup
Compiles current scholarly evidence for a scientific manuscript or research brief 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 retrieval, 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.
Here `verified_references` counts successful retrieval of nonempty Extract excerpts,
excluding flagged retractions. It does not establish bibliographic identity, claim
support, peer review, or absence of corrections; those require source review.
## Scope and boundaries
Use this skill when the user explicitly wants:
- literature and background research for a manuscript
