Run the search script with the provided arguments:
python <scripts_dir>/search.py --query "<query>" --focus <focus_mode>The script reads the instance URL from
skill-config.perplexica.url. You may pass--url "<url>"only if an explicit override is needed.Optional model configuration: By default, the skill automatically picks the first available chat and embedding model from the instance. You only need to set these if you want to override the default:
skill-config.perplexica.chat_model_provider(provider display name, e.g.Groq)skill-config.perplexica.chat_model(model key, e.g.llama-3.1-8b-instant)skill-config.perplexica.embedding_model_provider+skill-config.perplexica.embedding_model
Valid values for
--focus:webSearch(default),academicSearch,youtubeSearch,redditSearch,wolframAlphaSearch. Omit--focusif unsure — it defaults towebSearch. -
The script outputs a JSON object with
answer(string) andsources(array of objects withtitle,url,snippetfields) -
Return the answer followed by the sources
Output format

Sets up SSH-based git push for the Pawlia workspace, manages the workspace git remote, and creates automation jobs for regular pushes. Use when the user wants to: sync the workspace to an external git repo, set up git push, configure a git remote for the workspace, fix git push errors (SSH key, host key, authentication), check push status. Triggers on phrases like "workspace git", "git push einrichten", "ssh key für git", "workspace remote", "git sync", "push workspace".

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Create new PawLia skills from scratch, improve or audit existing ones. Also manages credentials for skills — store, check, list and delete API keys and tokens that other skills need at runtime (skills themselves only see the runtime `CRED_*` env vars, never the store). When a skill has bugs or needs changes, delegate the full task here — describe the problem and let the skill-creator autonomously diagnose and fix it. Do not pre-read the skill files yourself. Use when the user wants to: create a new skill, scaffold a skill directory, manage skill credentials, improve or review an existing skill, validate a SKILL.md against the spec, package a skill for distribution. Triggers on phrases like "create a skill", "new skill", "store api key", "add credentials", "improve this skill", "validate skill", "audit skill", "scaffold a skill".

Collect web sources into named research projects and answer questions from them. Scrapes URLs (recursive crawl, PDFs, YouTube transcripts) into a project, then answers questions grounded in the gathered sources via semantic/keyword search. Use for "research X", building a sourced dossier on a topic, or querying previously gathered material — as opposed to a one-shot web search (perplexica/searxng). Commands: create, list, add, query, delete, rename (syntax in the skill instructions).
