Individual skill
citation-management
Searches OpenAlex, PubMed, and Google Scholar, extracts metadata from DOIs, PMIDs, PMCIDs, arXiv IDs, and URLs via CrossRef, PubMed, and arXiv, then formats, deduplicates, and validates BibTeX files using bundled Python scripts (search_openalex.py, extract_metadata.py, format_bibtex.py, validate_citations.py, doi_to_bibtex.py). Use when converting DOIs or PMIDs to BibTeX, finding papers on a topic, filling missing volume, pages, or DOI fields, cleaning or merging .bib files with duplicate entries, or checking a bibliography for errors before submission. Not for systematic review search methodology or synthesis; use literature-review for that.

# Citation Management
## Overview
Manage citations systematically throughout the research and writing process. This skill provides tools and strategies for searching academic databases (Google Scholar, PubMed), extracting accurate metadata from multiple sources (CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv), validating citation information, and generating properly formatted BibTeX entries.
Critical for maintaining citation accuracy, avoiding reference errors, and ensuring reproducible research. Integrates seamlessly with the literature-review skill for comprehensive research workflows.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Searching for specific papers on Google Scholar or PubMed
- Converting DOIs, PMIDs, or arXiv IDs to properly formatted BibTeX
- Extracting complete metadata for citations (authors, title, journal, year, etc.)
