citesight

Python wrapper for the CiteSight CLI — citation verification and (experimental) local claim-evidence review for student work.

Install

1. Node.js 20+, then: npm install -g cite-sight
2. This package: pip install citesight (or from this folder: pip install .)

Use

from cite_sight import check, library_plan, claim_overlap

result = check("essay.pdf", email="you@example.edu")
for v in result["references"]["verifications"]:
    print(v["status"], "—", v["reference"]["title"])

# Coordinator pass: common vs unique sources across a cohort
plan = library_plan(["submissions/*.pdf"], output="unit-sources.json")

Claim evidence review (experimental, local-only, requires cite-sight setup-claims runtime + model install):

from cite_sight import claims
result = claims("essay.pdf", "sources.json", library="./unit-readings/")
for f in result["claims"]["findings"]:
    print(f["status"], "—", f["claim"])

All functions shell out to the CLI and return parsed JSON — same verdicts as the desktop app, no data leaves the machine beyond what the CLI itself sends (reference metadata to open scholarly APIs; claim checking is fully offline).
