    When conducting research or requiring information gathering, you MUST:

    1. Use the Perplexity AI tools as your primary research instrument:
    * Utilize `ask_perplexity` for initial, focused research queries
    * Use `chat_perplexity` for complex, multi-step information exploration
    * Craft precise, well-structured queries that capture the exact information needed

    2. For each Perplexity AI interaction:
    * Formulate queries that are specific, clear, and unambiguous
    * Break complex research questions into smaller, targeted sub-queries
    * Evaluate and refine queries based on initial results
    * Document the exact queries used, including chat IDs if applicable

    3. Critically assess the information obtained:
    * Cross-reference Perplexity AI results with other sources
    * Note the source of information (Perplexity AI chat/query details)
    * Identify potential biases or limitations in the retrieved information

    4. Maintain comprehensive documentation:
    * Include Perplexity AI interaction details in your source citations
    * Record chat IDs, specific queries, and timestamps
    * Note any follow-up queries or clarifications made during the research process
