SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Citation audits prevent incorrect or hallucinated references in LaTeX/BibTeX documents by verifying that each cited paper truly exists and that metadata (authors, year, DOI, venue) matches public records.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hallucinated citation verification: Audits cited works for identity and metadata consistency, including DOI/arXiv alignment and author/year/venue correctness.
  • Published-version and venue freshness checks: Detects when arXiv/preprint citations have since appeared in conference proceedings, journals, or official accepted-paper venues.
  • Read-only, evidence-led reporting: Produces a single markdown audit report with per-key status labels and an evidence ledger linking to checked sources.

Use case: your LaTeX paper has a BibTeX file that was drafted quickly on arXiv; this skill audits each cited entry for hallucinatory or outdated records and recommends the most conservative citation form supported by evidence.

Quick Start

Run the citation-audit skill on your LaTeX main file and BibTeX file to generate a read-only report that validates every cited key against public publication evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify BibTeX citations for hallucinated papers in LaTeX?▼

To verify BibTeX citations for hallucinated papers, the citation audit performs a read-only inspection of your LaTeX repository, parses BibTeX entries, and reconciles local metadata against trusted external evidence to flag non-existent works.

How do I check if arXiv preprint citations have been published in journals or conferences?▼

Checking if arXiv preprint citations have been published involves auditing your BibTeX file for venue freshness, detecting outdated arXiv-only records, and confirming corresponding published versions in major venues using external evidence.

What is the best way to audit missing BibTeX keys and incorrect metadata in LaTeX?▼

Auditing missing BibTeX keys and incorrect metadata requires a full reachable LaTeX citation inventory walk, parsing local citation fields, and applying ordered evidence passes to produce a markdown report with per-key status labels.

Does citation verification work with read-only repository inspection?▼

Citation verification works with read-only repository inspection by walking your full LaTeX citation inventory, parsing BibTeX files, and generating an evidence ledger with deterministic finding IDs and confidence statuses.

How do I generate an evidence ledger for incorrect LaTeX citations?▼

Generating an evidence ledger for incorrect LaTeX citations involves reconciling local metadata fields with trusted external sources, applying ordered evidence passes, and outputting a markdown audit report linking to checked sources.
