AB perplexity-search
Perplexity Sonar search and answer generation through AIsa. Use when the task is specifically to call Perplexity Sonar, Sonar Pro, Sonar Reasoning Pro, or Sonar Deep Research for citation-backed web answers, analytical reasoning, or long-form research reports.
As a process B 74/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: consistency, progress reporting

This is a copy of a skill from another catalog; the rating counts the canonical one: perplexity-search (ClawHub)
How to improve
For the model run — optional
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 74/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (perplexity-search) differs from the folder (aisa-perplexity-search-skill)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 17 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 892 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
