What problem does it solve? Search outputs and AI-generated leads frequently confabulate quotations and invent plausible-sounding papers, so citing them directly corrupts a research bibliography. This Skill enforces a locked pipeline — lead, verify existence, Zotero entry, literature note, prose — so no unverified source ever reaches your manuscript. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Existence Verification: Resolves DOIs, arXiv IDs, and URLs against authoritative sources (publisher pages, Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar) and confirms title, authors, year, and venue match the claim. - Structured Literature Notes: Creates notes following the @AuthorYear - Title.md pattern with a complete metadata block including citekey, verification status, paper targets, and claim support. - Quarantine Discipline: Tags dubious sources as needs-check or rejected so they never reach prose, and treats kill-justifying citations with extra scrutiny since wrong exclusions silently remove options. - Use Case: A reviewer suggests a paper via a Perplexity summary. Use this Skill to resolve the DOI, confirm the metadata matches, create the Zotero entry and literature note, and bind it to the relevant paper target before citing it. ## Quick Start Verify this new literature lead against its DOI and authoritative sources, then create the Zotero entry and literature note before it is cited anywhere.
