CiteCheck CLAUDE.md

CiteCheck CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from color4-alt/CiteCheck. It costs 675 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for CiteCheck, a Python command-line tool and coding-agent skill for checking citations in academic papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on citation parsing, PDF or BibTeX handling, source verification, thematic matching, or report generation in the CiteCheck project.
Why use it?
They give the agent the repository layout, relevant components, and working context needed to change or troubleshoot the citation-checking system correctly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

CiteCheck CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CiteCheck — Project Context for Claude Code

CiteCheck is a Python CLI tool and agent skill for verifying academic paper citations. This repository contains both the installable Python package (pip install CiteCheck) and the agent skill definitions.

When This Context Applies

Load this context when working on:

  • The citecheck Python package (src/citecheck/)
  • The agent skill definitions (skills/, references/)
  • CLI behavior, parsing logic, or report generation
  • Bug fixes or feature additions to the citation verification pipeline

Architecture Decisions

  1. LaTeX-first, PDF-fallback: .tex + .bib parsing is precise; PDF extraction is lossy
  2. Skill vs CLI separation: The CLI handles parsing/format/querying; the agent (Claude) handles thematic/semantic evaluation using its own reasoning
  3. Zero mandatory API keys: Crossref and Semantic Scholar are public APIs; LLM matching is optional (--api-key) or delegated to the agent
  4. Models extracted to models.py: Prevents circular imports between parser.py, bibtex_parser.py, and pdf_parser.py

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
