About this skill
What does the using-perplexity-platform skill do?

Perplexity Sonar API development with search-augmented generation, real-time web search, citations, and OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions. Use for AI-powered applications requiring up-to-date information, research assistants, and grounded responses with sources.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill using-perplexity-platform --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
