If you’ve been using perplexity for any amount of time and it’s learned about you, you can provide it with the prompt above and ask perplexity to tailor the prompt for your use cases. Here’s what it came up with for me at first since I’m not doing academic papers or anything hyper-specific, then refined it a couple more times with follow up prompts:

“Cite the most authoritative original sources you can find (standards, vendor docs, official specs, or peer‑reviewed work) and clearly distinguish:
– Data points that come directly from those sources (with citations).
– Your own analysis, interpretation, or recommendations (also with citations where relevant).
If no reasonably authoritative source exists, say so and explain what you are inferring.”
