okf-bibliography

okf-bibliography is a skill for Claude Code from saulmcphd/okf-skills. It costs 168 tokens per session (1,562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bibliography manager for an academic OKF brain, a machine-readable collection of linked research notes. It maintains a references.json registry of primary works cited across those notes and keys entries by author and year.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add, verify, and organize scholarly references across an academic knowledge bundle.
Why use it?
It keeps citations accurate, reusable, deduplicated, and linked to real sources without creating a separate note for every citation.

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

okf-bibliography 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 12d 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.

Manage an academic brain's bibliography registry

The references layer of an academic OKF brain. This skill is only for scholarly / research brains that must cite verifiable primary sources; a gardening or product-wiki brain does not need it.

First, the crucial distinction — two "reference" things

What it is Where it lives How many
Reference node one OKF node per top-level source the brain is built from (a book, a site) references/ref-<slug>.md a handful (see okf-node-types)
Bibliography registry a machine-readable table of every primary work cited across the brain references/bibliography.json (or sources/bibliography-<slug>.json per source for large brains) hundreds–thousands

Do not make a node per citation. An academic brain cites thousands of primary works; a markdown node each would drown the graph. The registry is their scalable home; each node's # References list is drawn from it. The registry is a plain data file — OKF tooling ignores non-.md files, so it sits happily inside the bundle.

Key each entry by a stable citation key (author-year, disambiguated -a/-b when needed):

{
  "milgram-1963": {
    "authors": ["Milgram, S."],
    "year": 1963,
    "title": "Behavioral study of obedience",
    "container": "Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology",
    "volume": "67(4)",
    "pages": "371–378",
    "doi": "10.1037/h0040525",
    "apa": "Milgram, S. (1963). Behavioral study of obedience. Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, 67(4), 371–378. https://doi.org/10.1037/h0040525",
    "doi_verified": true,
    "found_in": ["ref-gross", "ref-simplypsychology"]
  }
}
  • apa (or your chosen style) is the ready-to-paste # References line — nodes copy it verbatim so formatting is consistent everywhere.
  • doi_verified = the citation was resolved to a real work (DOI / Crossref match), not just typed. Named doi_verified rather than bare verified to avoid colliding with OKF v0.2's node-level verified: [ { by, at } ] trust field (see okf-concept-node) — that field means something different: a list of independent confirmations of a node's content (human sign-off, an automated process, or both), not a DOI-resolution check.
  • found_in = which source(s) the reference was harvested from — provenance, kept separate from the citation itself.

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.
