Enrich Citations

Enhance markdown documents by finding and adding authoritative source links for mentioned facts, tools, products, research, and references.

Usage

Use the

enrich_citations.py

script to process markdown documents:

# Use default output location (~/tmp/citation_enriched.md - allows overwrite)
python scripts/enrich_citations.py --document-file /path/to/document.md

# Specify custom output location (cannot overwrite existing files)
python scripts/enrich_citations.py --document-file /path/to/document.md --output /path/to/output.md

What It Does

The script automatically:

• Identifies all references (tools, research, products, organizations, people, standards)
• Performs web search to find authoritative sources
• Adds markdown hyperlinks with proper spacing:

  [Reference](URL)

• Verifies all URLs are valid and accessible
• Preserves all original content (only adds hyperlinks, no text changes)
• Prioritizes official sources and documentation

Options

• --document-file

  (required) - Path to the markdown document to enrich

• --output

  (optional) - Custom output path (default:

  ~/tmp/citation_enriched.md

  )

Output Behavior

• Default location:

  ~/tmp/citation_enriched.md

  - Allows overwrite
• Custom location: Cannot overwrite existing files (raises error if file exists)

Reference Types Identified

• External sources and research papers
• Tools, software, frameworks, libraries
• Products and services
• Organizations and institutions
• Technical concepts and standards (RFC, W3C, APIs)
• People and experts

Requirements
