What problem does it solve? Academic manuscripts often contain citations that serve no clear purpose or BibTeX entries whose DOIs silently point to the wrong papers. This Skill audits every reference for functional appropriateness and verifies DOI authenticity against live sources instead of trusting the bibliography file. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six-Function Classification: Assigns every citation to one of six roles (background, benchmark, comparison, method, limitation, support) and flags functionless citations as inappropriate. - DOI Source Verification: Validates each DOI through a Semantic Scholar to Crossref to PubMed three-level fallback chain, catching cases where the BibTeX entry itself contains a wrong DOI. - Independent Specialized Report: Outputs a dedicated verification report with a separately marked G5 integration point, recording every check with reproducible failure reasons and fix guidance. - Use Case: Before submitting a paper, run this Skill on your .bib file to detect an entry like Chakravarthy2021Deep whose DOI resolves to an unrelated paper, and get a corrected DOI plus a flagged list of unused references. ## Quick Start Verify the appropriateness and DOI authenticity of all citations in my BibTeX file and produce an independent verification report.
