Reference Generator

Overview

Generate high-quality, curated reference lists for educational textbooks. Each chapter receives exactly 10 references, prioritizing Wikipedia articles first for reliability, then crediting the specific textbook authors who pioneered clear or innovative ways of teaching the chapter's concepts, followed by authoritative online resources. References are never just a list of Wikipedia links — the textbook slots exist specifically to give credit to the authors behind influential explanations, analogies, or pedagogical techniques (e.g., a particularly intuitive derivation, a widely-copied diagram, a teaching analogy that became standard). References are stored in separate references.md files for token-efficient maintenance by AI agents.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Creating a new intelligent textbook that needs chapter references
  • Adding references to an existing textbook
  • Updating or expanding references for educational content
  • A user explicitly requests reference generation
