SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Catches hallucinated, chimeric, and otherwise broken references in .bib files. Runs Claude and Codex (GPT-5.4) agents in parallel using two genuinely independent verification methods, randomly assigns references to Codex so there are no fixed agent pairs, and stages an adversarial challenge round wherever they disagree. Produces an evidence-backed scorecard so no fake slips through silently. Trigger with "/kris path/to/refs.bib" or "/kris path/to/paper.tex".

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven orchestration: Phase 1 Locate/parse, Phase 2 Parallel verification, Phase 3 Reconcile, Phase 4 Adversarial challenges, Phase 5 Score/report.
  • Two independent verification methods: Claude uses a deterministic API-cascade with Crossref/OpenAlex/Semantic Scholar/arXiv, while Codex applies a separate, signal-diverse check, with an adversarial round to resolve disagreements.
  • Evidence-backed verdicts: Each reference yields per-source results, red flags, and a final verdict, with an annotated BibTeX output for downstream review.
  • Use Case: Researchers running /kris on a references.bib to obtain a comprehensive REPORT.md and a KRIS-annotated bibliography for submission-ready documentation.

Quick Start

Audit the references.bib with /kris to generate a full REPORT.md and an annotated_bib.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify BibTeX references to find fake or chimeric citations?

Verifying BibTeX references to find fake or chimeric citations involves classifying each entry as REAL, FAKE, CHIMERIC, or UNCERTAIN. A dual-agent workflow using Claude and Codex cross-checks sources in parallel to produce an evidence-backed annotated bibliography.

What is a chimeric reference in a BibTeX file?

A chimeric reference in a BibTeX file is a citation combining mismatched metadata, such as blending titles or authors from different real papers. Dual-agent verification identifies these by cross-referencing independent academic databases like Crossref and OpenAlex.

How do I check a .bib file for hallucinated citations before submission?

Checking a .bib file for hallucinated citations before submission requires querying APIs like Semantic Scholar and arXiv. This verification process generates a REPORT.md scorecard to ensure no fake reference slips through silently.

Does dual-agent citation verification work with a LaTeX paper file?

Yes, dual-agent citation verification works with a LaTeX paper file. Passing a .tex file instead of a .bib file triggers the workflow to locate, parse, and verify the associated bibliography through the parallel reference verification phases.

Why do verification agents disagree on reference classification and how is it resolved?

Verification agents disagree on reference classification due to using independent methods and source APIs. Disagreements are resolved through an adversarial challenge round, where conflicting outcomes are reconciled before delivering the final annotated BibTeX output.

What do I need to set up before running a BibTeX verification workflow?

Before running a BibTeX verification workflow, you need a valid input .bib file, a local toolset, and access to Claude and Codex prompts with supporting scripts. These components orchestrate the parallel verification phases to reconcile outcomes.
