## Project history and usage

Hayagriva is a Rust bibliography-management library and CLI from the Typst organization. It handles literature collections, YAML bibliography files, BibTeX/BibLaTeX interoperability, Citation Style Language formatting, and command-line citation/reference generation.

### Project history

The GitHub repository was created in September 2020. The README describes Hayagriva as 'Rusty bibliography management' and positions it as both an application dependency and terminal tool for dealing with literature and other media.

Hayagriva's history is tied to Typst's document-preparation ecosystem: it provides structured bibliography data and citation formatting that fit Typst's broader goal of modern technical writing workflows.

### Adoption history

The README documents library use, CLI installation through Cargo with the cli feature, and support for all styles from the official Citation Style Language repository. Input package facts show downstream packaging in Homebrew, Nix, and zypper.

### How it is used

Users can parse bibliography data from YAML or BibLaTeX, format references and in-text citations using CSL styles, and run commands such as hayagriva literature.yaml reference or hayagriva literature.yaml cite. As a library, it exposes data structures and formatting drivers for applications that need citation support.

### Why package nerds care

Hayagriva is notable because it packages scholarly citation plumbing as a reusable Rust crate and standalone CLI. That makes it useful outside Typst itself, but its strongest package-manager relevance is as a small tool in reproducible writing and publishing pipelines.

### Timeline

- 2020: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2020s: Project develops as a Rust library and CLI for bibliography handling.
- 2020s: Downstream packages appear in Homebrew, Nix, and zypper according to input package facts.

### Related projects

- Typst is the closest related project by organization and ecosystem.
- BibTeX, BibLaTeX, Citation Style Language styles, and the citationberg parser are related bibliography and citation-formatting technologies named by the README.
