SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researchers risk citing fabricated, misapplied, or weakly relevant sources when building literature reviews and SOTA positioning. This Skill verifies citation existence, support, and proximity so every reference genuinely backs the claim being made. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-question verification protocol: Separates existence, support, and proximity checks for every citation, tagging each source as verified, manuscript-only, or unverifiable. - Escalating search levels: Operates from manuscript-first triage through metadata verification, targeted proximity checks, and optional broad literature sweeps with a 3-5 source shortlist. - Bilingual Korean/English advising: Delivers diagnostic judgments in Korean with compact evidence lines, or concise academic English, preserving titles, DOIs, and technical identifiers. - Use Case: A graduate student cites a generic optimization paper to justify a domain-specific novelty claim; the Skill flags the proximity gap, classifies the source as background support, and identifies what closer literature must be verified. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to verify the citations in your manuscript section and design a search plan for your research topic, listing which sources are verified, manuscript-only, or unverifiable.

Frequently Asked Questions about literature-search-citation-scout

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify citations in a research manuscript?▼

Citation verification checks three questions per source: existence (real with exact metadata), support (backs the exact claim), and proximity (close enough in domain and operating regime). Each source is tagged verified, manuscript-only, or unverifiable with a safe claim boundary.

How to find SOTA papers and standards for ECE research?▼

Use the escalating search ladder: start manuscript-first, then verify metadata, then run targeted proximity checks on the few sources that affect positioning. Shortlists default to 3-5 sources prioritizing IEEE/ACM Transactions, archival journals, and official IEEE/IEC standards.

Can this skill work without web search access?▼

Yes, a low-RAG mode classifies each cited source as direct domain support, adjacent methodological support, generic background, or unverifiable from the manuscript alone. It states what claims are safe now and marks gaps requiring later verification instead of inventing certainty.

Does the literature search skill support Korean research workflows?▼

Yes, it detects Korean input and responds in Korean with a compressed three-line evidence block per source: judgment, evidence title, and why it matters. English titles, venues, and DOIs are preserved exactly on a compact evidence line.

When should I not use a citation verification skill?▼

Avoid it for pure code debugging or artifact editing with no literature component, and never use it to fabricate sources or bypass research-integrity requirements. Claims about your own results need internal evidence, not literature support.
