What it does
Validate Bib is an agent skill from maxwell2732/my-submission-formatting-agent. Validate bibliography entries against citations in all manuscript files. Find missing entries and unused references.
Its SKILL.md is about 380 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. The repository describes itself as: A structured Claude Code workflow to reformat research manuscripts for any journal's submission requirements without altering scientific content, created by Chen Zhu 朱晨 | 遗传社科研究.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/validate-bib”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the bibliography file and extract all citation keys
- Scan all manuscript files for citation keys
- Cross-reference
- Check entry quality for each bib entry
- Report findings
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2937ff7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlob
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
Validate Bib loads about 384 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 146 words (~384 tokens).
