Verify citations in a paper or document. Reads a markdown document, extracts every [@citation-id] pandoc citation, resolves each against references.yaml (CSL-YAML), fetches the cited papers (arXiv or Google Scholar), reads them, and checks whether the claims made in the citing text are supported by the sources. Produces an audit report with per-citation verdicts. Triggers: audit references, verify citations, check references, citation audit, verify bibliography, check my citations, are my…
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
# Audit references (citation verification) This skill verifies that the citations in a document actually say what the author claims they say. It complements `update-references` (which discovers new papers) by auditing existing citations for correctness. The output is an audit report: one entry per citation, with a verdict (supported, unsupported, misattributed, not-found) and the evidence from the source paper. ## Where things live - **Document:** The markdown file the user points you at, or the most obvious draft in the working directory. Look for `.md` files that contain `[@` citations. - **Database:** `references.yaml` in the working directory (or at the nearest ancestor that has one). This is the Citation Style Language (CSL) YAML bibliography that pandoc and `update-references` both use. - **PDFs/papers:** `<db-dir>/pdfs/` and `<db-dir>/papers/` — the same locations `update-references` uses. If a paper was already fetched, reuse its markdown. - **Audit report:** `<db-dir>/audits/<document-stem>-audit.md`, using the template in `<skill>/references/audit-template.md`. ## Prerequisites …

How to install
mdr add petar-djukic/writing-skills/audit-references@sha256:003cf8f58a4d3c09The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260812.fc1b88f, 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.
