Audit every citation in a chapter, paper, or proposal against the .bib file and the real world: each cite key must exist, each entry must resolve to a live DOI or arXiv record whose title, authors, and year match, and each claim attributed to a source must be supported by that source's note or text. Reports unverified, mismatched, and unsupported citations with the fix. Use before sending a draft to a supervisor, before submission, or whenever text was drafted with AI assistance and a…

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

A fabricated or misattributed citation is the one error a thesis cannot survive. This skill treats every citation as unverified until three checks pass: the key exists, the entry is real, and the claim is supported.

## Level 1: every key exists

1. Extract cite keys from the document:
   - LaTeX: `\cite{a,b}`, `\citep`, `\citet`, `\parencite`, `\textcite`, `\autocite`, `\footcite`, and starred/optional-argument forms.
   - Markdown/Pandoc: `[@key]`, `[@a; @b, p. 3]`, `@key`.
   - Word: extract with `pandoc file.docx -t markdown` and look for Zotero fields or `(Author, Year)` strings; match those against `.bib` `author`+`year`.
2. Parse the `.bib` keys (`^@\w+\{([^,]+),`).
3. Report keys cited but not defined (hard error) and entries defined but never cited (informational; the bibliography should usually contain only cited works).

## Level 2: every entry is real

For each cited entry:

1. If it has a `doi`: `curl -s "https://api.crossref.org/works/<doi>"` and compare title (normalised), first author surname, and year. A DOI that returns 404 is fabricated or mistyped: search CrossRef by title to find the real one and report both.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/citation-verifier@sha256:bbca6a4d848b43e3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.3cfc2b3, 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.
