Does it support existing bibliography files?

Yes, the skill can append new entries to your existing .bib files and will proactively check for duplicate citation keys to keep your bibliography clean.

Does this skill require an API key?

Yes, for fetching citations and using the ADS search features, you must provide a NASA ADS API token via the $ADS_API_TOKEN environment variable.

How are the citation keys formatted?

The skill uses a standardized format: 'authorYY' for one author, 'author1.author2YY' for two authors, and 'author1.etalYY' for three or more authors.

Can I read papers that aren't on arXiv?

Currently, the paper reading feature is optimized for arXiv IDs, which allows it to pull the full LaTeX source for deeper analysis than simple PDF parsing.
