What it does

Ieee Citation is an agent skill from CloudWave818/ieee-skills. Check, clean, verify, and improve IEEE citations, references, BibTeX entries, citation positioning, related-work logic, DOI metadata, venue names, and reference formatting using routed citation and metadata guidance. Use when preparing IEEE manuscripts, fixing bibliography errors, verifying reference completeness, improving related work, checking whether citations support claims, or identifying missing classic/recent baselines.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 45 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `manifest.yaml` and `static/core/output-format.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 面向 IEEE 风格论文写作、润色、审稿、实验、图表、LaTeX、引用和论文阅读的 Codex skills。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing IEEE manuscripts
  • Fixing bibliography errors
  • Verifying reference completeness
  • Improving related work

Example prompts

  • “/ieee-citation”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes
  4. State the detected axes when useful.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Separate formatting fixes from factual verification.
  7. Flag any metadata that cannot be verified.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee30fda. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Ieee Citation loads about 580 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~580

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.

Check, clean, verify, and improve IEEE citations, references, BibTeX entries, citation positioning, related-work logic, DOI metadata, venue names, and reference formatting using routed citation and metadata guidance. Use when preparing IEEE manuscripts, fixing bibliography errors, verifying reference completeness, improving related work, checking whether citations support claims, or identifying missing classic/recent baselines.

IEEE Citation Router

Use this skill to make citations accurate, IEEE-compliant, and rhetorically useful.

Do not invent references, DOI values, page numbers, venues, or metadata. Follow the routing protocol and load the selected fragments.

Routing Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load.
  3. Detect the axes:
    • task_type: bibtex-cleanup / metadata-check / citation-logic / related-work-gap / format-conversion / reference-audit.
    • source_type: journal-article / conference-paper / book / standard / dataset-code / preprint / web-source / unknown.
    • citation_role: background / method-family / baseline / closest-prior-work / dataset / tool / claim-support.
    • failure_mode: missing-metadata / invented-or-unverified / weak-positioning / missing-classic-work / missing-recent-work / format-error / citation-does-not-support-claim.
    • verification_level: no-web / web-verify / authoritative-only.
  4. State the detected axes when useful.
  5. Load only the matching fragments.
  6. Separate formatting fixes from factual verification.
  7. Flag any metadata that cannot be verified.

Output Contract

For reference audits:

text
Detected axes: task_type=..., source_type=..., citation_role=..., failure_mode=..., verification_level=...

Reference audit
Item | Issue | Risk | Fix | Verification status

For related-work citation logic:

text
Claim or sentence | Current citation role | Problem | Better citation need

For BibTeX cleanup, return corrected BibTeX only when metadata is supplied or verified. Use placeholders for missing fields.

Red Lines

Do not fabricate references or metadata.

Do not treat 20-30 references as a universal rule.

Do not claim a citation supports a sentence unless the supplied or verified information supports that relationship.
