crossref

crossref is a Literature review & citations skill for AI agents, published by franklee16 in the academic-research-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates crossref C (72/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Match a pasted list of academic references against the Crossref REST API and produce a four-column markdown table (original, matched, confidence, flags) with canonical APA citations and DOIs. Use whenever the user pastes a bibliography or reference list and wants to verify, clean up, canonicalize, or find DOIs for those references — triggers include "verify bibliography", "match these references", "find DOIs for this reference list", "canonicalize my citations", "clean up the reference list against Crossref", "check these citations", or any pasted block of academic references accompanied by a request to normalize them.
