What it does
Citation Management is an agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Manage BibTeX citations for LaTeX papers. Harvest missing citations from a draft using Semantic Scholar, validate cite keys against .bib files, deduplicate entries, and format bibliography. Use when working with references, BibTeX, or citations.
Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/harvest_citations.py` and `scripts/validate_citations.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. It works with LaTeX and Semantic Scholar. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code — deep-research: systematic academic literature review.
When your agent uses it
- Working with references
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/citation-management”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the current .tex draft
- Identify the most important missing citation
- Search Semantic Scholar via script
- Select the most relevant paper from results
- Extract BibTeX and generate a clean key (lastNameYearWord)
- Append to .bib (skip if key exists)
- Insert \cite{key} at the appropriate location
- Stop when no more gaps or 20 rounds reached
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6c085. 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
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Citation Management loads about 894 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 288 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 288 words (~894 tokens).
“Manage the full lifecycle of citations in a LaTeX paper.”
