3 things to look at

16 days oldThe repository was created 16 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Manage BibTeX citations for LaTeX papers. Harvest missing citations from a draft using Semantic Scholar, validate cite keys against .bib files, deduplicate entries, and format bibliography. Use when working with references, BibTeX, or citations.

Citation Management

Manage the full lifecycle of citations in a LaTeX paper.

Input

$0 — Action: harvest, validate, add, format
$1 — Path to .tex or .bib file

Scripts

Validate citations (check all cite keys resolve)

python ~/.claude/skills/citation-management/scripts/validate_citations.py \
  --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --check-figures --figures-dir paper/figures/

Reports: missing citations, unused bib entries, duplicate keys, duplicate sections, duplicate labels, undefined references, missing figures.

Generate BibTeX from paper database

python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/bibtex_manager.py \
  --jsonl paper_db.jsonl --output references.bib

Search for a specific paper to add

python ~/.claude/skills/deep-research/scripts/search_semantic_scholar.py \
  --query "attention is all you need" --max-results 5 \
  --api-key "$(grep S2_API_Key /Users/lingzhi/Code/keys.md 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' ')"

Harvest missing citations automatically

python ~/.claude/skills/citation-management/scripts/harvest_citations.py \
  --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --output candidates.bib --max-rounds 10

Scans .tex for uncited claims, searches Semantic Scholar, outputs candidate BibTeX entries. Key flags: --dry-run (preview only), --verbose, --api-key

Auto-fix missing citation placeholders

python ~/.claude/skills/citation-management/scripts/validate_citations.py \
  --tex paper/main.tex --bib paper/references.bib --fix

Generates references_fixed.bib with placeholder entries for all missing citation keys.

Action: `harvest` — Iterative Citation Harvesting

Based on AI-Scientist's 20-round citation harvesting loop. For each round:

Read the current .tex draft
Identify the most important missing citation
Search Semantic Scholar via script
Select the most relevant paper from results
Extract BibTeX and generate a clean key (lastNameYearWord)
Append to .bib (skip if key exists)
Insert \cite{key} at the appropriate location
Stop when no more gaps or 20 rounds reached

Key rules:

DO NOT add a citation that already exists
Only add citations found via API — never fabricate
Cite broadly — not just popular papers
Do not copy verbatim from prior literature

Action: `validate` — Pre-Compilation Check

Run validate_citations.py to catch all issues before compilation. Fix any reported problems.

Action: `add` — Add Specific Paper

Search Semantic Scholar for the paper, extract BibTeX, clean the key, append to .bib.

BibTeX key format: firstAuthorLastNameYearFirstContentWord (e.g., vaswani2017attention)

Action: `format` — Standardize .bib

Sort entries alphabetically by key
Ensure consistent indentation (2 spaces)
Remove empty fields
Protect proper nouns with {Braces} in titles
Ensure required fields per entry type
