Mark Eaton cad936f576 parser: support diverse md inputs (bold headings, Works Cited, blockquote notes, junk filtering)
- Bibliography heading now accepts bold markers (## **BIBLIOGRAPHY**),
  alternative names (Works Cited, References), and numbered sub-headings
  within the section.
- Original heading text preserved in output instead of hardcoded
  "## Bibliography".
- New find_blockquote_notes() parser for PDF-to-markdown footnote format
  (> N text), wired into CLI as third fallback after pandoc and numbered.
- PDF junk filtered from bibliography entries: bare page numbers,
  blockquote footnotes, download banners, CC license URLs, and short
  running headers.

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

Layout

  • src/cmos/formatter.py — the iterable artifact (edited every loop iteration).
  • src/cmos/parser.py — extracts the bibliography section from a draft.
  • src/cmos/linter.py — deterministic CMOS 18 rule checks (versioned).
  • src/cmos/cli.pycmos format entry point.
  • harness/score.py, harness/diff.py — frozen scoring.
  • exemplars/ — TOML test corpus.
  • tests/ — pytest suite (linter, parser, formatter, cli).
  • rough_drafts/ — user-supplied messy drafts for ad-hoc iteration.
  • logs/ — per-run scores, model ids, linter version hashes.
