# Citation Format Fixer

Cleans a messy bibliography into one consistent citation style.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Reformat this bibliography into** (choose one: APA 7, Harvard, MLA 9, Chicago author-date, IEEE)
- **paste your references** (longer free text)

## Prompt template

Reformat this bibliography into {{Reformat this bibliography into}}, sorted correctly for that style.

{{paste your references}}

Where a reference is missing information the style requires, flag it rather than inventing it.
