citation-management

Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Resolve bibliographic identifiers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, deduplicate references, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to verify citation information, convert DOIs/PMIDs/arXiv IDs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.

Quality

Content

73%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is highly actionable with executable commands and a well-sequenced, validated workflow, and it correctly delegates detail to real bundled files. Its main weakness is verbosity: substantial duplication of script usage across multiple sections and explanation of concepts Claude already knows inflates the token cost.

Suggestions

Collapse the three repeated presentations of each script's usage (Core Workflow, Tools and Scripts, Example Workflows) into a single canonical reference per script to cut hundreds of lines of duplication.

Move tool-feature lists and the best-practices/pitfalls prose into the existing reference files, keeping SKILL.md as a concise overview pointing to them.

Remove elementary explanations (BibTeX entry-type definitions, what metadata fields get extracted) that Claude already knows; keep only the skill-specific formatting rules.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is ~1040 lines with extensive redundancy — each script's usage appears three times (Core Workflow, Tools and Scripts, Example Workflows) — and it explains concepts Claude already knows (BibTeX entry types, what metadata gets extracted), padding the token budget.	2 / 5
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash commands with real flags and concrete identifiers across search, extraction, formatting, and validation, covering all common cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clearly sequenced 5-phase workflow plus full example workflows with numbered steps, and batch/destructive operations (auto-fix, deduplicate) carry explicit validation and 'review the validation report' checkpoints with error-recovery guidance.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	References, scripts, and assets are real one-level-deep files, clearly signaled with 'see references/...' and enumerated in a Resources section. However, large blocks that belong in references (tool usage docs, best practices, pitfalls) are inlined in SKILL.md.	4 / 5

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong: it concretely lists capabilities and provides an explicit 'use when' clause with specific trigger phrases anchored around bibliographic identifiers and BibTeX. The only minor gap is a few missing natural synonyms (bibliography, .bib).

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Resolve bibliographic identifiers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, deduplicate references, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries' — plus 'convert DOIs/PMIDs/arXiv IDs to BibTeX', giving comprehensive coverage.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly states what it does (the action list) and when to use it via 'This skill should be used when you need to verify citation information, convert DOIs/PMIDs/arXiv IDs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy'.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Strong natural terms (citations, references, BibTeX, DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, scientific writing) but missing common synonyms like 'bibliography' or file extensions like '.bib' that users might say.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (academic citation/BibTeX management) with distinct identifier-based triggers that are unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	5 / 5
