Audit an existing .bib entry by entry against Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv, and Zotero for wrong years, mis-cited authors, wrong venue or volume, dead DOIs, and hallucinated entries. TRIGGER on "/bibcheck", "audit my .bib", "verify my references", "check my bibliography", "are any of these citations fake", "did Claude hallucinate a citation", or a pre-submission bib audit.
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
# bibcheck Given a `.bib`, spawn subagents over batches of 5 entries to verify each entry against canonical metadata, then emit a PASS/WARN/FAIL report and a `corrected.bib` the user reviews and merges. The source `.bib` is never modified. One agent asked to audit 200 entries in a single pass drifts: early entries get careful treatment, late entries get pattern-matched. Batches of 5 stay short enough that the cliff never arrives, and the batch contract in phase 1 polices the same drift inside each batch. Per-entry verification against canonical metadata is adapted from Scott Cunningham's [MixtapeTools](https://github.com/scunning1975/MixtapeTools). Hallucinated citations have a recognizable signature: plausible authors, plausible title, a DOI that 404s, and no match in Crossref, OpenAlex, or arXiv. Surfacing that pattern is the point. ## Inputs and scoping Take a `.bib` path as the argument. With no argument, Glob in this order and ask if ambiguous: 1. `references.bib`, `refs.bib`, `bibliography.bib`, then `*.bib` in the cwd. 2. `~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox*/Apps/Overleaf/*/*.bib` (this setup assumes Overleaf projects sync here via Dropbox; adjust to your machine). …

How to install
mdr add ericluo04/claude-academic-workflow/bibcheck@sha256:89f3a918d64a6b86The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.4896a56, 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.
