Bibliography Validation
Read-only skill. Never edit source files — produce a categorised report only.
Citation key rule: the user's existing keys always take precedence. They come from Paperpile (his reference management system) and are canonical. When suggesting replacements (typo corrections, preprint upgrades, metadata fixes), always keep the user's key and update the .bib entry metadata around it — never suggest renaming a key to match some "standard" format.
When to Use
- Before compiling a final version of a paper
- After adding new citations to check nothing was missed
- When
biber/bibtexreports undefined citations - As part of a pre-submission checklist (pair with
/proofread)
When NOT to Use
- Finding new references — use
/literaturefor discovery - Building a bibliography from scratch — use
/literaturewith.bibgeneration - General proofreading — use
/proofread(which also flags citation format issues)
