Scholar Sidekick (Python) — Cite, verify and audit citations from Python

Turn a scholarly identifier into a formatted citation, a bibliography file, or a fabrication check, using the scholar-sidekick package. It is a thin, typed client over the public Scholar Sidekick REST API. No API key required for the free, rate-limited tier. Results come back as objects, so you never parse text output.

Sibling skills, same API underneath: use scholar-sidekick-api when the agent only has curl, scholar-sidekick-cli for a Node ≥20 terminal, or scholar-sidekick-mcp when an MCP host is connected. This skill is the Python path.
