academic-verify
Verify a research claim or academic citation by tracing it through publication → methodology → raw data → independent replication. Routes through perplexity-research for the actual web lookup, then formats results as a citation-checked brain page. Use when a book/article/conversation cites a study and you want to confirm the claim is real, replicated, and accurately characterized.

W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
What this means
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
Why it was flagged
Because academic-verify routes the scoped claim plus “brain context” into `perplexity-research` in citation-mode, the runtime path can fetch public web content (e.g., Retraction Watch/PubPeer/OSF/Semantic Scholar/OpenAlex) that contains outsider-authored free text, which is then ingested into the agent’s LLM context by the downstream web-search/retrieval step.
