Is the OneCite skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from HzaCode/OneCite. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the OneCite SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install OneCite?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use OneCite with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 18, 2026 · 4c17bdd

Ran two real DOIs through it live: got back correct, fully-formed BibTeX (author, journal, volume, pages, abstract, DOI, URL) pulled from actual metadata APIs, not memorized text -- but the doctor/benchmark/templates commands the SKILL.md leans on only exist in an editable repo-checkout install, not the current PyPI release.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What OneCite does

Resolves DOIs, arXiv/PMID IDs, GitHub and Zenodo URLs, or existing BibTeX against academic metadata APIs and writes verified BibTeX, refusing to fabricate missing fields. Triggers on requests to clean, validate, or audit a reference list or citation file. Full functionality (benchmark/doctor/template subcommands) needs an editable install from a local repo checkout, not just `pip install onecite` from PyPI.

How to install OneCite

git clone https://github.com/HzaCode/OneCite
cd OneCite
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/onecite ~/.claude/skills/onecite

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger OneCite

/onecite Verifies references against live academic APIs and emits clean, complete BibTeX.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Verify these DOIs and give me clean BibTeX entries for my references
Check my citation list against academic APIs and fix any broken entries
I have a messy bibliography, can you validate it and fill in missing fields
