What problem does it solve?
This Skill checks whether references are real, correctly formatted, and actually support the claims they are attached to, helping you avoid fake citations, metadata errors, and misleading attribution.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Reference existence checks: Confirms whether a DOI, title, or identifier resolves to a real publication.
- Metadata cross-checking: Compares author, year, venue, pages, and identifiers against authoritative records.
- Claim-to-citation auditing: Verifies whether a cited paper truly supports the sentence or quantitative claim it is used for.
- Use cases: Pre-submission bibliography audits, thesis reference verification, AI-generated citation cleanup, and checking whether a manuscript’s in-text citations are trustworthy.
