Citation Audit
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the node needs to:
- verify that citations support the written claim
- check metadata such as title, authors, venue, year, and DOI
- detect missing or duplicate references
- clean up a bibliography before release
- review whether a writeup overstates what a cited paper proves
Workflow
- Check whether every major claim has a citation.
- For each citation, confirm that the source actually supports the stated claim.
- Normalize key metadata fields.
- Remove duplicates and weak citations.
- Flag unsupported or overstated claims.
Expected Outputs
- a citation issue list
- corrected metadata suggestions
- unsupported claim warnings
- a cleaned bibliography checklist
Quality Rules
- citation presence is not enough; support must be real
- prefer primary papers over derivative references
- flag ambiguous or second-hand citations
- keep corrections explicit and actionable
