Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Fetches bibliographic metadata and publication records from the official Crossref API (
api.crossref.org). This is an established service for academic metadata and is essential to the skill's function. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Utilizes a local Python script (
scripts/nature_citation.py) to segment manuscript text, perform metadata searches, and generate formatted export files (RIS, ENW, Zotero RDF). The script is restricted to these operations and does not invoke untrusted shell commands. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is designed to ingest and process potentially untrusted manuscript text.
- Ingestion points: Passages provided by the user via command-line arguments or text files to the discovery script.
- Boundary markers: The workflow enforces a strict separation between "candidates" (unverified metadata) and "references" (verified support). A manual screening gate (
--screened-selection) is required before any reference-manager files are produced. - Capability inventory: The skill has network capabilities (API calls), file-writing capabilities (metadata and export files), and text segmentation logic.
- Sanitization: The Python script implements proper XML escaping for RDF generation and regex-based sanitization for RIS and ENW formats to prevent injection into reference managers.
