What problem does it solve? Academic manuscripts accumulate citation errors that survive to camera-ready: undefined \cite keys, claims about prior work that no reading note supports, missing citations on borrowed numbers, and duplicate or malformed bib entries. This Skill audits all of these against the manuscript, the bib, and reading notes, flagging every problem without silently patching anything. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Key Resolution: Extracts every citation command from the manuscript and diffs it both ways against manus/bibs/reference.bib, reporting undefined keys and uncited entries. - Assertion Auditing: Checks each citing sentence against reading notes in notes/refs/ or imported mates/ notes, returning supported, unsupported, or unverifiable verdicts with the note line quoted. - Missing-Citation and Hygiene Scans: Detects uncited prior-work claims, first-use method and dataset names, duplicate bib entries, missing fields, and inconsistent venue naming. - Use Case: Before submitting a paper, run the audit to produce a CITES_<date>.md report and a tasks/cites_followups.md checklist, with each fix routed to the refs curator or section drafter. ## Quick Start Run /stage-cite-auditor with an optional section name to audit the manuscript's citations and receive a report of undefined keys, unsupported assertions, and bib hygiene issues.
