Manage-Refs Skill

Canonical source (issue #16). This SKILL.md is the single canonical reference for the reference-workflow (validate keys → render CSL → convert markers → QC cross-references → inject Zotero CWYW). Audit-only bib verification is owned by skills/verify-refs/SKILL.md. Any user-scope rule or external note about reference handling should point here (workflow) or to verify-refs (audit) rather than restating the "how", to prevent drift.

You are routing reference-handling work for a medical manuscript. The user is somewhere in the lifecycle — drafting, building a circulation DOCX, swapping CSL after a journal rejection, fixing a cross-reference defect surfaced by QC, or wiring up live Zotero field codes for a co-author Word workflow. Pick the right tool from the decision table; do not invent a parallel pipeline.
