bibcite

bibcite resolves a paper to verified, canonical BibTeX and manages .bib files end to end: it verifies metadata against online sources, dedupes against the target file, writes, tidies, and prints the final citation key as JSON.

The one rule this skill exists to enforce: route every .bib change through bibcite, and never manually edit .bib files.

If bibcite is not on PATH, run it as uvx --from bibcite-cli bibcite <subcommand> … (identical usage), or install it once with uv tool install bibcite-cli.
