scientific-writing: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/cite/SKILL.md

cite is a skill for Claude Code from koljaschoepe/scientific-writing. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,693 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-entry workflow for a thesis literature database. It can collect details from a PDF, manual input, BibTeX, or a Zotero export; BibTeX is a text format for storing publication details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add books, journal articles, conference papers, websites, reports, and other sources, then optionally save quotations from them.
Why use it?
It keeps publication metadata and selected quotations organized instead of requiring the researcher to record them separately by hand.

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 10d 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.

Quelle hinzufügen

Fügt eine neue Quelle und optionale Zitate zur Literaturdatenbank hinzu.

Ablauf

1. Modus bestimmen

Frage den User: "Wie möchtest du Quellen erfassen?"

  • PDF-Analyse: "Ich habe ein PDF" -> Pfad angeben lassen
  • Manuell: "Ich gebe die Daten ein"
  • BibTeX-Import: "Ich habe eine .bib-Datei oder einen BibTeX-Eintrag"
  • Zotero-Import: "Ich habe einen Zotero-Export (CSV, RIS oder BibTeX)"

2a. PDF-Analyse

Falls PDF:

  • Starte den Agent .claude/agents/cite-extractor.md mit dem PDF-Pfad
  • Der Agent extrahiert Metadaten und relevante Passagen
  • Zeige die extrahierten Daten und frage nach Bestätigung
  • Frage welche Zitate übernommen werden sollen

2b. Manuelle Eingabe

Frage Schritt für Schritt:

  1. "Wer sind die Autoren? (Format: Nachname, V. -- bei mehreren mit / trennen)"
  2. "Erscheinungsjahr?"
  3. "Titel des Werks?"
  4. "Welcher Typ?" -> Buch / Journal-Artikel / Sammelband / Konferenzbeitrag / Website / Report
  5. Je nach Typ:
    • Buch: Verlag, Ort, Auflage
    • Journal: Zeitschrift, Jahrgang, Ausgabe, Seitenbereich
    • Website: URL, Abrufdatum
    • etc.

Danach: "Möchtest du gleich Zitate aus dieser Quelle erfassen?" Falls ja, für jedes Zitat:

  1. "Seitenzahl?"
  2. "Direktes Zitat (wörtlich) oder indirektes (sinngemäß)?"
  3. "Inhalt des Zitats / Kernaussage?"

2c. BibTeX-Import

Falls BibTeX (.bib-Datei oder einzelner Eintrag):

  • Lies die .bib-Datei mit dem Read-Tool (oder den eingefügten Text)

  • Parse jeden @-Eintrag und mappe den Typ:

    • @article -> journal
    • @book -> buch
    • @incollection -> sammelband
    • @inproceedings / @conference -> konferenz
    • @online / @misc (mit URL) -> website
    • @techreport / @report -> report
    • @phdthesis / @mastersthesis -> buch
  • Feld-Mapping BibTeX -> literature.md:

    BibTeX-Feld literature.md-Feld Konvertierung
    author autor "Lastname, Firstname" -> "Lastname, F." / Mehrere mit "and" -> Slash-getrennt

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.
