citation-management

citation-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benchflow-ai/benchflow. It costs 68 tokens per session (8,130 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of citation-management, Apache-2.0.

A research assistant for managing references to academic papers. It searches sources such as Google Scholar and PubMed, checks publication details, and creates BibTeX entries, a text format used by many academic writing tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find papers, verify citations, convert DOIs or other identifiers to BibTeX, and prepare bibliographies for papers or theses.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes in author names, titles, dates, and identifiers such as DOIs. It also helps find duplicates and keep a bibliography consistent.

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

citation-management 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/doi_to_bibtex.py, scripts/extract_metadata.py, scripts/format_bibtex.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Citation Management

Overview

Manage citations systematically throughout the research and writing process. This skill provides tools and strategies for searching academic databases (Google Scholar, PubMed), extracting accurate metadata from multiple sources (CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv), validating citation information, and generating properly formatted BibTeX entries.

Critical for maintaining citation accuracy, avoiding reference errors, and ensuring reproducible research. Integrates seamlessly with the literature-review skill for comprehensive research workflows.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Searching for specific papers on Google Scholar or PubMed
  • Converting DOIs, PMIDs, or arXiv IDs to properly formatted BibTeX
  • Extracting complete metadata for citations (authors, title, journal, year, etc.)
  • Validating existing citations for accuracy
  • Cleaning and formatting BibTeX files
  • Finding highly cited papers in a specific field
  • Verifying that citation information matches the actual publication
  • Building a bibliography for a manuscript or thesis
  • Checking for duplicate citations
  • Ensuring consistent citation formatting

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

  • Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
  • Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png

The AI will automatically:

  • Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
  • Review and refine through multiple iterations
  • Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
  • Save outputs in the figures/ directory
