SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Citation verification is a bottleneck in AI-assisted content creation. This Skill automates the detection and validation of citations across documents and visuals, helping teams ensure claims are properly sourced and defensible.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vision-enabled verification across slides, reports, PDFs, images, and transcripts.
  • Dual-mode operation: web-search verification and doc-only verification for handling sources supplied by the user.
  • Deterministic, two-pass workflow (extraction then verification) with a clear, traceable output format for audits.

Quick Start

Verify a provided document by running the citation checker to confirm all claims have citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify citations in AI-generated text and reports?

Vision-enabled citation verification extracts claims from slides, PDFs, images, and transcripts, then validates them against sources. It handles both web-search verification and doc-only modes for user-supplied materials.

Does citation verification work with PDFs and slide images?

Doc-only verification mode validates citations against user-supplied documents without web searching. This mode checks whether the provided sources exist and accurately support the claims made in the text or slides.

What is the best way to check if cited sources support factual claims?

The verification workflow produces a deterministic status tree that classifies claims and produces traceable outputs. This structured format flags discrepancies and missing citations clearly for auditing purposes.

Why does AI-generated content have missing or inaccurate citations?

Citation verification applies to slides, reports, PDFs, images, and vision-enabled content across languages. It supports both web-search mode for finding external sources and doc-only mode for validating supplied references.

Can I validate sources in a document without searching the web?

The deterministic status tree classifies claims by their verification status, producing traceable outputs. This structured approach ensures every factual claim is sourced and discrepancies are flagged for review.
