What it does
Citation Management is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when adding citations to a .bib file, importing references by DOI, cleaning a bibliography, detecting duplicate entries, or normalizing citation keys. Uses direct .bib manipulation with CrossRef API for metadata resolution — no external tool dependencies.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
When your agent uses it
- Adding citations to a .bib file
- Importing references by DOI
- Cleaning a bibliography
- Detecting duplicate entries
Example prompts
- “/citation-management”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolve every DOI via CrossRef. Call https://api.crossref.org/works/{doi}. Extract: title, full author list, year, journal, volume, issue…
- Generate a BibTeX entry with complete fields. Required for articles: author, title, year, journal, volume, pages, doi. For books: author…
- Citation key format: FirstAuthorLastnameYear, e.g., Santos2024. Disambiguate collisions with lowercase letters: Santos2024a, Santos2024b…
- Check for duplicates before adding. Duplicate definition: same DOI, OR same title (case-insensitive, normalized whitespace) AND same first…
- Keep references.bib sorted alphabetically by citation key. Sort after every insert so the file stays stable across commits.
- Preserve existing entries. Do not rewrite fields of existing entries unless the user explicitly asks. Append new entries in the correct…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curljq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.crossref.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Citation Management loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 455 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 455 words (~1,036 tokens).
“This skill manages the project's references.bib directly, using the CrossRef API to resolve DOIs into complete BibTeX entries. It does not require Zotero, any external CLI, or any desktop application. Everything happens through standard tools: curl (or equivalent HTTP client)…”

Citation Management is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills.bib file, importing references by DOI, cleaning a bibliography, detecting duplicate entries, or normalizing citation keys.
When should I use Citation Management?
Citation Management fits situations like: adding citations to a .bib file; importing references by DOI; cleaning a bibliography; detecting duplicate entries.
How do I install Citation Management in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill citation-management -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/60-regisely-superpapers/skills/citation-management in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/citation-management in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Citation Management in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill citation-management -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/60-regisely-superpapers/skills/citation-management in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/citation-management in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Citation Management in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill citation-management -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/citation-management, .gemini/skills/citation-management, .github/skills/citation-management and .opencode/skills/citation-management in your project.
What does Citation Management need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Citation Management needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl and jq).
Does Citation Management access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: api.crossref.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Citation Management safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Citation Management use?
Citation Management has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Citation Management use?
About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Citation Management?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Citation Management: Citation Management (neflibata-feng/MyArxiv-Agent, 126 stars), Academic Paper Writing Pipeline (Imbad0202/academic-research-skills, 51k stars), Literature Review Agent (Ar9av/PaperOrchestra, 679 stars) and Academic Search (ustc-ai4science/academic-search, 668 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
