citation-verifier
Citation Verifier
Overview
Use this skill when citation integrity is the bottleneck. It is narrower and more operational than general writing skills: the goal is to catch unverifiable references, missing identifiers, duplicated BibTeX keys, placeholder citations, and mismatches between local citation artifacts before they become submission problems.
Use this skill together with scientific-writing or submission-audit, not instead of them.
When To Use
Use this skill when:
- a manuscript is close to submission or resubmission
- the bibliography may contain placeholders, guessed entries, or stale metadata
- a
.bibfile needs a hygiene pass - the draft mixes DOI, arXiv, PMID, or plain-text references inconsistently
- you need to verify that local citation artifacts are ready before manual or online source verification
Do not use this skill for:
- generic literature discovery from scratch
