chronicle-publications

Call chronicle.register_publication with the DOI to get a publication record, then link it to the experiment with chronicle.link_asset using link type "input". Known DOIs return the existing record instead of creating a duplicate.

Pass the arXiv id, versioned id, or an arxiv.org URL to chronicle.register_publication. The skill resolves it via the arXiv API into a public asset, deduplicated by arXiv id and version, and returns a publication id you can cite.

Yes. Register with the draft flag set to true to create a private, mutable draft you own, and cite it immediately. When the work is accepted, finalize the draft with the real DOI or BibTeX and the existing citation link stays intact.

If similar records exist, registration returns a needs_resolution status with candidate matches. Prefer citing an existing candidate; only re-call with confirm_create set to true to mint a new record when none match.

No. The skill uses the bundled Chronicle MCP tools directly, which resolve credentials from ~/.methodic. The SDK equivalents under chronicle.publications exist but are optional.

Citation types such as publications, arXiv papers, and reports are exempt from the input commit freeze. They remain linkable and unlinkable after commit and lock only when the experiment concludes.
