mlava/scholar-sidekick-cli
Resolve scholarly identifiers (DOI including shortDOI aliases, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv, ISSN, ADS bibcode, WHO IRIS URL) into formatted citations (10,000+ CSL styles) and bibliography exports (BibTeX, RIS, EndNote, CSV…), and check retraction, open-access, and citation-fabrication status — from the terminal via the `scholar` CLI. Wraps the public REST API; needs Node ≥20 but no API key for the free tier. Use when the user wants to look up, cite, export, or verify a reference by DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv ID, ISSN, ADS bibcode, or WHO IRIS URL from the terminal — including retraction, open-access, and fabricated-citation checks, or a whole-bibliography audit of a .bib/.ris/CSL-JSON file.

Low-risk findings worth noting
W011: Third-party content exposure detected (indirect prompt injection risk).
What this means
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
Why it was flagged
The skill audits bibliography files (BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON) via `scholar audit`, which processes external or user-provided files containing free text and metadata subject to attacker manipulation.
