Perplexity Hello World
Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core Perplexity functionality.
Prerequisites
- Completed
perplexity-install-authsetup - Valid API credentials configured
- Development environment ready
Instructions
Step 1: Create Entry File
Create a new file for your hello world example.
Step 2: Import and Initialize Client
import { PerplexityClient } from '@perplexity/sdk';
const client = new PerplexityClient({
apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY,
});
Step 3: Make Your First API Call
async function main() {
// Your first API call here
}
main().catch(console.error);
Output
- Working code file with Perplexity client initialization
- Successful API response confirming connection
- Console output showing:
Success! Your Perplexity connection is working.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Import Error | SDK not installed | Verify with npm list or pip show |
| Auth Error | Invalid credentials | Check environment variable is set |
| Timeout | Network issues | Increase timeout or check connectivity |
| Rate Limit | Too many requests | Wait and retry with exponential backoff |
Examples
TypeScript Example
import { PerplexityClient } from '@perplexity/sdk';
const client = new PerplexityClient({
apiKey: process.env.PERPLEXITY_API_KEY,
});
async function main() {
// Your first API call here
}
main().catch(console.error);
Python Example
from perplexity import PerplexityClient
client = PerplexityClient()
# Your first API call here

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
