Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Query citation graphs — view a paper's references, find which papers cite it, and analyze shared references between multiple papers. Use when the user asks about citation relationships, reference overlap, or bibliographic connections.Key capabilities
- →View a paper's references
- →Find papers that cite a specific paper
- →Identify shared references between two papers
- →Update citation data for a workspace
- →Rebuild the citation index
How it works
The skill queries citation graphs to retrieve reference and citation data from Semantic Scholar.
Inputs & outputs
When to use graph
- →View paper references
- →Identify citing papers
- →Analyze shared references
- →Update citation network
About this skill
Citation Graph Queries
View a paper's references, find which papers cite it, and identify shared references across multiple papers.
Execution Logic
View a Paper's References
autor refs "<paper-id>" [--ws NAME]
Find Papers That Cite This Paper
autor citing "<paper-id>" [--ws NAME]
Shared Reference Analysis
autor shared-refs "<id1>" "<id2>" [--min N] [--ws NAME]
Workspace Citation-Network Sidecar
autor refetch --workspace <NAME>
autor index --rebuild
autor ws citation-network <NAME> [--min-shared 2]
Parameters:
--min N— include only references cited by at least N papers (default 2)--ws NAME— limit scope to a specific workspace
Prerequisites
Reference data comes from Semantic Scholar. It must be fetched first via:
- Automatic retrieval during ingestion
- Running
refetch --workspace <NAME>for review workspaces, orrefetch --all --forceonly when a full-library refresh is intended - Then running
index --rebuildto update the citations table
Examples
User says: "What papers does this paper cite?"
→ Run refs "<paper-id>"
User says: "Which papers cite this one?"
→ Run citing "<paper-id>"
User says: "What references do these two papers have in common?"
→ Run shared-refs "<id1>" "<id2>"
When not to use it
- →When the user asks about topics other than citation relationships
- →When the user asks about topics other than reference overlap
- →When the user asks about topics other than bibliographic connections
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires Semantic Scholar reference data to be fetched first
- →Requires the citation index to be rebuilt after data fetching
How it compares
This skill provides direct commands to query specific citation relationships, unlike manually searching for each paper's references and citations.
