What it does
Bibcheck is an agent skill from scunning1975/MixtapeTools. Many-agent bibliography audit. Verify each citation in a .bib file by spawning narrow-focus agents that confirm DOI/URL and cross-check that all fields belong to the same paper. Catches mixed-up entries (one paper's title with another's authors), wrong years, journal misattributions, and unverifiable references. Use when reviewing a manuscript's bibliography for accuracy before submission, after literature review, or when inheriting a .bib from a coauthor.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `methodology.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and Literature review. The repository describes itself as: Tools for coding, teaching, and presentations with AI assistance.
When your agent uses it
- Reviewing a manuscripts bibliography for accuracy before submission
- After literature review
- Inheriting a .bib from a coauthor
Example prompts
- “s title with another”
- “/bibcheck”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(claude*), Bash(ls*), Bash(cat*), Bash(wc*), Bash(grep*), Bash(mkdir*), Bash(cp*), Read, Write, Edit, WebSearch, WebFetch, Agent
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Read your full methodology
- Parse arguments
- Set up the run directory
- Present the result to the user
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9163a2e. 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:
Bash(claude*)Bash(ls*)Bash(cat*)Bash(wc*)Bash(grep*)Bash(mkdir*)Bash(cp*)ReadWriteEdit
…and 3 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claude
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
Bibcheck loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 699 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 699 words (~1,854 tokens).
“You are running /bibcheck — a verification routine that audits a bibliography by spawning many narrow-focus agents, one per citation (or one per field), so each agent operates on a small task with low risk of attention decay over a…”
