Add new external bibliography citations in existing prose without inventing support. Use when Codex needs to find real papers from canonical sources, verify exact metadata before citation, add machine-generated entries into a separate working bibliography next to the active main bib files, avoid polluting curated bibs, and leave visible TODOs instead of guessing. Useful for proposals, papers, slides, rebuttals, and other technical writing where the prose mostly exists and the main task is safe…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Bibref Filler

## Overview

Use this skill when the prose mostly exists and the job is to add new external
citations, tighten weak support, or audit citation integrity without rewriting
the argument.

This skill works best in repos that use local `.bib` files and cite-key based
markup such as LaTeX. When the writing format is different, keep the same
evidence discipline but adapt the mechanics instead of forcing BibTeX-specific
steps.

This skill is for safe external citation filling, not for full section
rewrites:

- keep the section's argument intact
- add citations only where they materially support a claim
- default to conservative coverage unless the user asks for denser support

This skill has two non-negotiable rules:

- never insert a citation to a paper unless the paper is real and the entry is
  already present in a local `.bib` file or has just been verified from a
  canonical source
- put every machine-added bibliography entry into a separate working bib placed
  next to the active main bib files; do not mix machine-added entries into the
  curated main bib files

For this skill, proving that a paper exists does not require full-text access.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yzhao062/agent-config/bibref-filler@sha256:6d71f85f1ff0d0bb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260321.2429521, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
