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.

Content

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

Highly actionable with a clear, validated multi-phase workflow and genuine one-level references, but the body is verbose with duplicated script examples and generic guidance that competes with context unnecessarily.

Suggestions

Remove the 'Tools and Scripts' usage blocks that duplicate the commands already shown inline in each Phase, or replace them with one-line pointers to the scripts.

Move the generic 'Best Practices' and 'Common Pitfalls to Avoid' sections into a reference file, since much of that guidance is knowledge Claude already has.

Trim the inline BibTeX entry-type reference and the 'Citation Outputs'/'Summary' recap sections, linking to assets/bibtex_template.bib and references/bibtex_formatting.md instead.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The ~1000-line body duplicates script usage (shown in each Phase and again in 'Tools and Scripts'), explains concepts Claude already knows (BibTeX entry types, generic Best Practices/Common Pitfalls), and could be substantially tightened.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides many concrete, copy-paste-ready bash commands with real script names and flags (e.g. 'python scripts/extract_metadata.py --doi 10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2'), fully executable.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Five clearly sequenced phases with explicit validation checkpoints and feedback loops (validate → auto-fix → re-validate), satisfying the destructive/batch validation requirement.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	References are real, one level deep, and well-signaled, but large inline sections (Example Workflows, Best Practices, Common Pitfalls) and duplicated script-usage blocks could be split into the existing references/ files for a leaner overview.	2 / 3

Description

100%

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

A strong, third-person description that states concrete capabilities and an explicit 'use when' trigger with natural keywords, answering both what and when clearly.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Resolve bibliographic identifiers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, deduplicate references, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries' — matching the level-3 anchor.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (resolve identifiers, extract metadata, validate, deduplicate, format BibTeX) and when ('This skill should be used when you need to verify citation information, convert DOIs/PMIDs/arXiv IDs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy').	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Covers natural user terms — 'citation information', 'convert DOIs/PMIDs/arXiv IDs to BibTeX', 'reference accuracy', 'scientific writing' — giving good coverage of phrases users would actually say.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Targets a clear niche — academic citation management with DOI/PMID/arXiv/BibTeX triggers — that is unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
