If you're writing papers and tired of manually formatting citations or hunting down metadata, this handles the tedious parts. It searches Google Scholar and PubMed, extracts complete metadata from DOIs, PMIDs, and arXiv IDs through CrossRef and NCBI APIs, then generates clean BibTeX entries. The workflow is straightforward: search for papers, grab identifiers, convert to properly formatted citations. Includes batch processing for multiple references and validation to catch errors before submission. It integrates with the literature-review skill if you need the full research workflow, but works standalone for citation cleanup. Solid for anyone managing bibliographies in LaTeX or reference managers that import BibTeX.
