System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of accurate bibliographies by extracting in-text citations, resolving them against a Zotero MCP library, flagging issues, and producing a formatted reference list.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extraction & matching: Extract in-text citations and map them to Zotero items via MCP.
  • Issue detection: Identify missing items, ambiguities, and year mismatches to ensure completeness.
  • Formatted output: Generate APA, ASA, or Chicago style bibliographies ready for inclusion in manuscripts.
  • Use Case: You have a sociology manuscript with 30 citations; the skill outputs a complete, style-compliant bibliography and a report of any unresolved items.

Quick Start

Use the bibliography-builder skill on your manuscript file (e.g., manuscript.md) to generate a formatted bibliography. The skill reads citations, queries your Zotero library via MCP, and outputs a markdown bibliography in the selected style.
