SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill reads BibTeX and LaTeX sources from a repository to extract paper references and key concepts, enabling rapid construction of a bipartite knowledge graph for scholarly workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads main.bib and main.tex from a LaTeX project and extracts citation keys along with contextual surrounding text.
  • Identifies recurring concepts, relationships, and potential edges to enrich the knowledge graph.
  • Filters out software/package citations and non-method references to focus on scholarly content.
  • Returns a structured summary including papers, suggested concepts, and edges suitable for graph updates.

Quick Start

Execute /bip.extract-refs <path-to-tex-repo> to analyze a LaTeX repository and generate a structured knowledge output.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract BibTeX references and concepts from a LaTeX project?

To extract BibTeX references and concepts from a LaTeX project, apply a parsing skill to your repository to read main.bib and main.tex, filtering out non-relevant software citations and returning a structured summary of papers, concepts, and graph relationships.

Can I build a knowledge graph directly from LaTeX and BibTeX files?

Yes, you can build a knowledge graph from LaTeX and BibTeX files by parsing main.tex and main.bib to identify citation keys, contextual surrounding text, recurring concepts, and potential edges to populate a bipartite scholarly graph.

How do I filter out software package citations when extracting paper references from LaTeX?

Filtering software package citations when extracting paper references from LaTeX involves parsing the BibTeX sources and excluding non-method or tool-specific references to focus strictly on scholarly content and research papers.

What do I need to parse BibTeX files and extract scholarly concepts for a knowledge graph?

To parse BibTeX files and extract scholarly concepts for a knowledge graph, you need a LaTeX repository containing main.bib and main.tex files, which are processed to yield structured papers, suggested concepts, and relationship edges.

Are there limitations when extracting citation keys and concepts from LaTeX repositories?

Limitations when extracting citation keys and concepts from LaTeX repositories include the strict requirement for main.bib and main.tex files, and the automatic filtering of non-scholarly software references which may inadvertently exclude specific methodological tool citations.
