Audit citations for correctness. Checks that every \cite{KEY} has a matching BibTeX entry and verifies each entry against Perplexity web search.
/verify-citations -- audit all citations in main.tex/verify-citations --key blume1983 -- verify single entryRead main.tex and extract all \cite{KEY} and \citep{KEY} commands
Read the .bib file to get the full BibTeX database
For each citation key:
a. Check KEY exists in .bib -- if missing, flag as MISSING
b. Extract: author, title, year, journal from the BibTeX entry
c. Use perplexity_search to verify: "{title}" {first author surname} {year}
d. Build comparison table:
| Field | BibTeX value | Perplexity result | Match? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authors | {from .bib} | {from search} | Y/N/-- |
| Title | ... | ... | Y/N/-- |
| Year | ... | ... | Y/N/-- |
| Journal | ... | ... | Y/N/-- |
Use Y = confirmed, N = mismatch, -- = not found in search. CRITICAL: If Perplexity is blank for a field, write "NOT FOUND IN SEARCH" -- NEVER fill from memory.
Classify each citation:
For forthcoming papers: use perplexity_ask as fallback to check journal placement
Output verification report:
Citation Audit: main.tex
Total: N citations checked
OK: X | Partial: Y | Mismatch: Z | Missing: W

Process citations in batches of 5 to respect Perplexity rate limits.
Create a new empirical research project: generates projects/<name>/ with latex, code, scripts, results, literature, and guidance subfolders plus README.md and project-level CLAUDE.md.
Publication-ready figure conventions for empirical finance and economics. Covers matplotlib styling, color palettes, export settings, and common figure types (time series, decile bars, coefficient plots, event studies). Auto-apply when creating any figure, plot, or visualization.
Agent-driven cold-start onboarding. Use the repo shell entrypoint to find or install Python 3.11+, then run the shared bootstrap audit/plan/apply flow and configure WRDS only if the user has it.
Create and compile Beamer presentations following the Rhetoric of Decks philosophy. Use when making seminar or conference slides.
Compile LaTeX to PDF using pdflatex + bibtex cycle
Creates new Claude Code skills, auto-apply skills, or auto-trigger rules, or audits existing ones for quality and effectiveness.
