Audit citations for correctness. Checks that every \cite{KEY} has a matching BibTeX entry and verifies each entry against online search.
Audit citations for correctness. Checks that every \cite{KEY} has a matching BibTeX entry and verifies each entry against online search.
/verify-citations -- auto-detect the .tex and .bib files in the project/verify-citations paper/my_paper.tex -- audit a specific file/verify-citations --key blume1983 -- verify single entryFind the main .tex file: check paper/, latex_template/, then the project root for files containing \documentclass. If multiple candidates exist, ask the user which to audit. Extract all \cite{KEY} and \citep{KEY} commands.
Find the .bib file: check the same directory as the .tex file, then the project root. Read 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 search_papers to verify: "{title}" {first author surname} {year}
d. Use get_paper_details to confirm details when a match is found
e. Build comparison table:
| Field | BibTeX value | Search 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 search returns blank for a field, write "NOT FOUND IN SEARCH" -- NEVER fill from memory.
Classify each citation:
For forthcoming papers: use search_papers with additional queries as fallback to check journal placement

npx claudepluginhub agentic-assets/corbis-literature-starter-kitVerifies BibTeX references against CrossRef metadata, identifies unused citations in LaTeX files, generates verification reports. Use for bibliography validation.
Verifies every citation in a manuscript by fetching cited works to detect ghost papers, wrong IDs, inverted claims, and dead links. Includes optional fix mode for bib corrections and claim rewrites.
Verifies academic citations against CrossRef and OpenAlex, detects fabricated or wrong entries, and writes audit trail to a project summary table.
