GitHub Citation
Capability
GitHub Citation helps agents, researchers, and developers generate citations from GitHub repositories. It supports BibTeX, APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and Harvard output, prefers CITATION.bib or CITATION.cff when available, and falls back to GitHub repository metadata when citation files are missing.
The repository includes a web interface, command-line tooling, an MCP server, and a portable agent skill that teaches agents to preserve citation provenance.
