What problem does it solve? Before a journal runs iThenticate or Turnitin on a submitted paper, authors have no way to screen their own manuscript for the issues those tools catch: broken or mismatched references, text recycled from their own prior papers, and passages sitting too close to cited sources. This Skill runs that pre-submission audit so problems are fixed while they are still cheap to fix. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Reference integrity verification: Checks that every citation resolves, metadata matches, in-text citations align with the bibliography, and cited sources actually support the claims made. - Self-overlap detection: Compares the manuscript against the author's published and in-progress papers using word-shingle matching to catch text recycling and redundant publication risks. - Source-overlap analysis: Compares against held reference PDFs and flags quoted-without-marks, structural tracking, and mosaic plagiarism patterns, with severity ratings and proposed rewrites. - Use Case: A researcher about to submit a paper asks for an originality check; the Skill verifies all references, finds a 40-word methods passage reused from a prior paper, and delivers a diff with a rewritten version. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a pre-submission integrity audit on your manuscript file, checking references and overlap against your published papers folder.
