bib-coverage

bib-coverage is a skill for Claude Code from flonat/flonat-research. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,341 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A comparison tool for finding differences between a project's bibliography file and papers stored in a Paperpile folder. Paperpile is a reference-management service for organizing research papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks bibliography coverage after literature searches and before submitting a paper.
Why use it?
It reveals papers that are not cited in the project or bibliography entries that are not filed in the reference library.

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

bib-coverage 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Bibliography Coverage

LIBRARY-FIRST RULE: ALWAYS check Paperpile (paperpile search-library) when assessing coverage.

Compare a project's .bib file against a Paperpile project/topic folder to identify gaps between the project bibliography and the reference library.

When to Use

  • After a literature search, to see what % of the topic collection is cited
  • Before submitting a paper, to catch references you forgot to cite
  • When reviewing a Paperpile project/topic folder, to find items not yet in any project's .bib
  • After a bibliography-quality check, as a complementary completeness check

When NOT to Use

  • Finding new references — use an installed literature-discovery workflow or scholarly search
  • Validating .bib quality (missing fields, DOI issues, preprint staleness) — use an installed bibliography validator
  • Building a .bib from scratch — use bib-parse or an installed literature workflow

Inputs

  1. Project .bib file — detected automatically (same logic as bib-validate: look for references.bib, then any .bib in the project)
  2. Paperpile folder — resolved from:
    • Explicit --topic <slug> argument
    • Project's CLAUDE.md or Atlas topic frontmatter
    • Directory name if inside a research project
    • If no collection can be resolved, report an error and suggest specifying --topic

Workflow

1. Load Project Bibliography

Parse the .bib file to extract all entry keys and titles.

2. Load Paperpile Folder

  1. Call paperpile get-folders to find the relevant full topic path
  2. Call paperpile get-items-by-folder "<full path>" to get items in that folder
  3. Extract item keys (citekey) and titles

Paperpile's labelsNamed and foldersNamed are distinct. Project/topic collections use folders. If a leaf occurs under multiple parents, stop and request or derive the full path; never silently choose one.

Graceful degradation: If the paperpile CLI is unavailable, skip with a warning — report .bib-only stats.

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.
