SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Citation audits prevent incorrect or hallucinated references in LaTeX/BibTeX documents by verifying that each cited paper truly exists and that metadata (authors, year, DOI, venue) matches public records.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hallucinated citation verification: Audits cited works for identity and metadata consistency, including DOI/arXiv alignment and author/year/venue correctness.
  • Published-version and venue freshness checks: Detects when arXiv/preprint citations have since appeared in conference proceedings, journals, or official accepted-paper venues.
  • Read-only, evidence-led reporting: Produces a single markdown audit report with per-key status labels and an evidence ledger linking to checked sources.

Use case: your LaTeX paper has a BibTeX file that was drafted quickly on arXiv; this skill audits each cited entry for hallucinatory or outdated records and recommends the most conservative citation form supported by evidence.

Quick Start

Run the citation-audit skill on your LaTeX main file and BibTeX file to generate a read-only report that validates every cited key against public publication evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify BibTeX citations for hallucinated papers in LaTeX?

To verify BibTeX citations for hallucinated papers, the citation audit performs a read-only inspection of your LaTeX repository, parses BibTeX entries, and reconciles local metadata against trusted external evidence to flag non-existent works.

How do I check if arXiv preprint citations have been published in journals or conferences?

Checking if arXiv preprint citations have been published involves auditing your BibTeX file for venue freshness, detecting outdated arXiv-only records, and confirming corresponding published versions in major venues using external evidence.

What is the best way to audit missing BibTeX keys and incorrect metadata in LaTeX?

Auditing missing BibTeX keys and incorrect metadata requires a full reachable LaTeX citation inventory walk, parsing local citation fields, and applying ordered evidence passes to produce a markdown report with per-key status labels.

Does citation verification work with read-only repository inspection?

Citation verification works with read-only repository inspection by walking your full LaTeX citation inventory, parsing BibTeX files, and generating an evidence ledger with deterministic finding IDs and confidence statuses.

How do I generate an evidence ledger for incorrect LaTeX citations?

Generating an evidence ledger for incorrect LaTeX citations involves reconciling local metadata fields with trusted external sources, applying ordered evidence passes, and outputting a markdown audit report linking to checked sources.
