Use when checking BibTeX reference records for missing fields, malformed identifiers, duplicate keys, or metadata mismatches before submission.
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
# /verify-refs — Reference Authenticity Check ## Running Python helpers Choose the interpreter before running the examples. For a globally installed copy, use the private runtime recorded by its installer. In a checkout or linked workspace, use `AWT_PYTHON` when set, otherwise the toolkit's `.venv` (follow the skill directory link back to the toolkit): `Scripts/python.exe` on Windows, `bin/python` on macOS/Linux. Without that environment, check that `python` (Windows) or `python3` (macOS/Linux) actually runs and has the helper's dependencies. Replace the example's `python3` with that executable. In PowerShell, prefix a quoted executable with `&`; keep commands on one line and quote file paths. ## Purpose Check reference records for missing required fields, duplicate keys, malformed DOI values, malformed arXiv identifiers, and invalid URLs. The default mode is offline and deterministic. ## Trigger Words This skill activates on: `verify refs`, `verify references`, `reference check`, `/verify-refs`. ## Workflow 1. Identify the target Markdown or `.bib` file. If the user does not specify one, ask. 2. Run: …

How to install
mdr add yha9806/academic-writing-toolkit/verify-refs@sha256:31d2c265b9d1fa60The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.26f80db, 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.
