paper-check SKILL.md skillA

paper-check from fcakyon/labrat is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/paper-check@git:20261030.3dd54cf

Pins git:20261030.3dd54cf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Check a paper against its code, results and citations before submission (numbers, terms, code vs paper, formulas vs code, BibTeX and cited claims via DBLP and Crossref, eval integrity), and prepare its code for open-source release. Use when the user says "verify claims" / "verify paper against code", "check numbers" / "do the numbers match" / "are my numbers right", "formula vs code", "audit my paper", "cross-check claims or results", "paper consistency check", "check citations…

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

# Paper Check

Every number, method claim and citation in the paper must trace to code, data, results or a cited source. Output a prioritized list of issues with specific fixes.

For a code release request, follow [references/code-release.md](references/code-release.md) and skip Steps 1-4.

## Step 1: Discover Files

1. Find the paper's .tex files (Glob for `**/*.tex`)
2. Identify the main .tex file (usually imports other sections) and the document structure
3. Find .bib files for citation checking
4. Locate result files (JSON, CSV, logs), configs, evaluation scripts and training logs
5. Identify the key code modules referenced by the paper's methods

When you run the checks yourself, read the full paper, or the sections the user names. When you hand checks to subagents, pass them the file paths from items 1-5 instead.

## Step 2: Run the Six Checks

Run all six checks by default. When the user names specific checks (for example only citations or BibTeX), run only those, and only the Step 1 items they need (check 5 needs just the .bib files and the `\cite` sites).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fcakyon/labrat/paper-check@sha256:2d6888e4770d63e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.3dd54cf, 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.
