The user's drafts in rough_drafts/ are real in-progress academic work. Project discipline (per memory) is to keep them untracked, but a single accidental `git add -A` could leak unpublished scholarship into git history. Adding the pattern to .gitignore makes the protection structural rather than discipline-based. Scoped to .txt only (the docx->txt converted form the project actually consumes); does not affect sample.md, .gitkeep, or any other extensions that might land in rough_drafts/ later.
cmos — Chicago Manual of Style 18 bibliography reformatter
A Python tool that reformats the bibliography section of an English-language markdown draft to CMOS 18th edition, notes-and-bibliography form.
Accuracy-first, iterative, built with a karpathy/autoresearch-style dev loop.
See program.md for the goal specification and
/home/claudecode1/.claude/plans/pure-mixing-yao.md for the implementation plan.
Quick start
uv sync
uv run pytest
uv run cmos format path/to/draft.md > out.md
