Voraussetzungen
- Python 3
- pip install scholarly
- pip install requests
- pip install bibtexparser
- pip install biopython
Maintenance
- warning:Dependency ManagementWhile the SKILL.md lists Python packages like `requests`, `bibtexparser`, `biopython`, `scholarly`, and `selenium`, there is no explicit lockfile or version pinning mentioned, which could lead to issues with dependency updates.
Trust
- warning:Issues Attention2 issues were opened in the last 90 days and 0 are currently open. 0 issues were closed in the last 90 days. The closure rate is low, and maintainer response to issues appears slow.
Execution
- warning:Pinned dependenciesWhile core Python libraries are used, there's no explicit mention of pinned dependencies or lockfiles, potentially affecting reproducibility if library versions drift.
