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
.texdraft - 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
