cite

cite is a command for Claude Code from Marazii/research-co-pilot. It costs 19 tokens per session (249 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A citation and bibliography formatter for common academic styles. It can convert references between styles and create BibTeX, a text format used by many academic writing tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to format citations, clean bibliographies, convert styles, handle unusual sources such as preprints or datasets, and create BibTeX or RIS files.
Why use it?
It reduces inconsistent formatting and helps catch missing or unverified publication details. It does not fill in details that cannot be confirmed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cite scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Invoke the citation-formatter skill from the research-co-pilot plugin and execute its full workflow.

The skill file is at skills/citation-formatter/SKILL.md relative to this plugin. Read it and follow it precisely — including:

  • Phase 1: Determine style, output type, source material, edition.
  • Phase 2-3: Use cheat sheets for the requested style; verify DOIs and metadata.
  • Phase 4: Handle edge cases (preprints, datasets, software, AI-generated content, social media).
  • Phase 5: Build BibTeX/RIS if requested.
  • Phase 6: Document-wide consistency check if working on a manuscript.
  • Phase 7: Output to references.md (or in-place edit) and report verification gaps.

Never invent a missing field. If something can't be verified, say so.

User input: $ARGUMENTS

If no citations or file path were given, ask what needs formatting and which style to use.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
