What problem does it solve?
Citation-audit prevents you from shipping papers with bibliographic mistakes by confirming that every cited reference exists, matches its canonical metadata, and actually supports the specific claim made in the manuscript.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Existence verification: Confirms each cited work can be found via arXiv/DOI/venue lookups rather than relying on memory.
- Metadata correctness checks: Validates authors, title, year, and venue against canonical records (e.g., DBLP, arXiv, Anthology, OpenReview).
- Context appropriateness auditing: Checks whether the paper you cite genuinely supports the surrounding sentence’s claim, flagging wrong-context citations.
- Actionable audit artifacts: Produces a human-readable report and a machine-readable JSON verdict ledger for downstream gating and review.
- Optional uncited-entry detection: When enabled, surfaces bib entries that never appear in \cite{...} calls for cleanup.
Quick Start
Use the citation-audit skill to audit your paper’s citations by running it on your paper directory or bib file so it generates CITATION_AUDIT.md and CITATION_AUDIT.json.
