How to wire it up

  • Zotero → Better BibTeX auto-exports `references.bib` into the vault
  • Agent knows the location of `references.bib`
  • In drafts, cite keys like `[@knuth1984]` get validated by the agent
  • Pandoc handles citations on export

A check task

"Scan all cite-keys in the current paper. List ones not present in references.bib. Suggest a match from the recently-added items."
