This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
bibtex-manager from khaledsaeed18/dotclaude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/bibtex-manager@git:20260921.3cfc2b3Pins git:20260921.3cfc2b3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Maintain the thesis .bib file as a single source of truth: fetch verified BibTeX from a DOI, arXiv id, or title via CrossRef and arXiv, normalise citation keys (firstauthorYEARkeyword), deduplicate entries, fix fields BibTeX and biblatex care about, and export to Zotero-friendly form when the writing happens in Word. Use when adding references, cleaning a messy bibliography, resolving duplicate keys, or converting a reading list into a .bib.
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
The `.bib` file is the one place a reference is allowed to exist. Every `\cite{}` in LaTeX, every `[@key]` in Markdown, and every Zotero item in Word traces back to an entry here that was fetched from an authority, never typed from memory.
## Add an entry
1. **Resolve the identifier to metadata from an authority.** Never write an entry by hand from a memory of the paper.
- DOI: `curl -sL -H "Accept: application/x-bibtex" "https://doi.org/<doi>"` gives publisher BibTeX. Cross-check title and year against `https://api.crossref.org/works/<doi>`.
- arXiv id: `curl -s "http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=<id>"` and build a `@misc` (or `@article` with `journal = {arXiv preprint arXiv:<id>}`) with `eprint`, `archivePrefix = {arXiv}`, `primaryClass`. If the paper was later published, prefer the published DOI and keep the arXiv id in `eprint`.
- Title only: `https://api.crossref.org/works?query.bibliographic=<title>&rows=3`, confirm the top hit's title matches before taking its DOI; if it does not, tell the student rather than guessing.

How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/bibtex-manager@sha256:56b5d10f0137feaaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.3cfc2b3, 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.
