Citation Audit

Verify every \cite{...} in a paper against three independent layers:

1. Existence — the cited paper actually exists at the claimed arXiv ID / DOI / venue.
2. Metadata correctness — author names, year, venue, and title match canonical sources (DBLP, arXiv, ACL Anthology, Nature, OpenReview, etc.).
3. Context appropriateness — the cited paper actually supports the claim it is being used to support in the manuscript.

This skill is the fourth layer of \aris{}'s evidence-and-claim assurance, complementing experiment-audit (code), result-to-claim (science verdict), and paper-claim-audit (numerical claims). Together they form a bottom-up integrity stack from raw evaluation code to manuscript bibliography.

When to Use This Skill

Run before submission. The right gating point is:

• After paper-write has produced the LaTeX draft and bib file
• After paper-claim-audit has verified numerical claims
• Before final paper-compile for submission

Do not run this on a half-written draft — most of the work is in cross-checking each \cite against context, which is wasted on placeholder text.
