This skill should be used when the user mentions a scholarly identifier (DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv, ISSN, NASA ADS bibcode, WHO IRIS URL) and wants structured metadata, a formatted citation, a bibliography export file, a retraction check, an open-access check, or verification that a claimed citation is real (not fabricated). Activates for citation formatting, BibTeX/RIS/EndNote export, "format this DOI" style requests, "has this paper been retracted?", "is this paper open access?", and "is this citation real / did you make this up?". Does not search for new papers — pair with a Semantic Scholar or OpenAlex MCP wrapper for that.
