# Track ENCODE Experiments
## When to Use
- User wants to save/bookmark ENCODE experiments for later reference
- User needs to build a collection of experiments for a project
- User asks to "track", "save", or "bookmark" an experiment
- User wants to manage citations and publications for ENCODE data
- User needs to compare experiments for compatibility
- User wants to export their experiment collection as CSV/TSV/JSON
- User asks about data provenance (linking derived files to ENCODE sources)
Help the user manage their local collection of ENCODE experiments. This skill covers the full lifecycle of experiment management: discovery, tracking, annotation, citation, comparison, provenance, and export.
## Tracking Capabilities
1. **Track an experiment**: Use `encode_track_experiment` to save experiment metadata, publications, and pipeline info locally.
- Automatically extracts GEO accessions and PMIDs from experiment metadata
- Fetches associated publications with authors, journal, DOI
- Stores 18 metadata fields per experiment (see schema below)
- Idempotent: re-tracking the same accession updates metadata without creating duplicates
2. **View tracked collection**: Use `encode_list_tracked` to see all tracked experiments. Filter by assay, organism, or organ.
3. **Get citations**: Use `encode_get_citations` to export publication data.
- `"json"`: Structured data
- `"bibtex"`: For LaTeX/reference managers
- `"ris"`: For Endnote, Zotero, Mendeley
4. **Co
