# AIQ Research Skill

## Purpose

Use this skill to call a locally running NVIDIA AI-Q Blueprint server through the helper script at
`scripts/aiq.py`.

Use this skill for research-shaped requests, including:

- "deep research on ..."
- "AIQ research ..."
- "research ..."
- "use AI-Q to answer ..."
- "ask AI-Q about ..."

Do not use this skill for install, deploy, start, stop, UI, CLI, Docker, Helm, or troubleshooting requests. Those
belong to `aiq-deploy`.

## Prerequisites

Users need:

- Python 3.11+ available as `python3`.
- A reachable local or self-hosted AI-Q Blueprint backend.
- `AIQ_SE...

Frequently asked questions

Does this skill manage my API keys or authentication?

No. The skill does not collect or manage API keys, bearer tokens, or cookies. It requires a backend configured with authentication disabled or an environment that handles authentication externally.

What happens if my research job is interrupted?

The job continues server-side. You can resume by using the status, report, or research_poll commands with the original job ID.

How do I change the backend URL?

Set the AIQ_SERVER_URL environment variable to your desired endpoint. The default is http://localhost:8000.
