Audit an existing BibTeX bibliography end to end — verify every entry against Crossref, arXiv (via DataCite), DBLP, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, the NeurIPS/PMLR/JMLR proceedings indices, the ICLR/NeurIPS/ICML paper lists and OpenReview, correct wrong or fabricated metadata, replace arXiv preprints with their published version of record, merge duplicates, strip non-citation fields, rekey to `<Surname><Year><FirstContentWord>`, tidy and validate — then research only the entries no source settles.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Bibliography audit
The kernel does every mechanical part of the audit in one call and leaves a **review queue**: the few entries no source could settle. Your job is that queue — the bibliographic research the maintainer finds slow — and then a report. Trust the kernel's corrections; spend your effort on the queue and the soft matches.
## Load the kernel
`kernel.py` sits next to this file; import it in a Bash `python` heredoc (zero import-time side effects, standard library only). Each `python` run is a fresh process, so re-import every time:
```bash
python3 - <<'PY'
import importlib.util, json
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location("bibaudit", "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/kernel.py")
k = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec); spec.loader.exec_module(k)
s = k.audit("paper/references.bib", tex=["paper/main.tex", "paper/appendix.tex"])
print(json.dumps({x: s[x] for x in ("entries_in", "entries_out", "status", "queue", "soft", "notices", "validation")}, indent=1, default=str))

How to install
mdr add emaballarin/ccplugins/bib-audit@sha256:ecee7a26e9796113The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.faedaf3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
