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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00027 | $0.00536 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00214 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00107 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00054 |
Grade A, and why
verify-citations 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Verify Citations Skill
Audit citations for correctness. Checks that every \cite{KEY} has a matching BibTeX entry and verifies each entry against Perplexity web search.
Examples
/verify-citations-- audit all citations in main.tex/verify-citations --key blume1983-- verify single entry
Workflow
-
Read
main.texand extract all\cite{KEY}and\citep{KEY}commands -
Read the .bib file to get the full BibTeX database
-
For each citation key: a. Check KEY exists in .bib -- if missing, flag as MISSING b. Extract: author, title, year, journal from the BibTeX entry c. Use
perplexity_searchto verify:"{title}" {first author surname} {year}d. Build comparison table:Field BibTeX value Perplexity result Match? Authors {from .bib} {from search} Y/N/-- Title ... ... Y/N/-- Year ... ... Y/N/-- Journal ... ... Y/N/-- Use Y = confirmed, N = mismatch, -- = not found in search. CRITICAL: If Perplexity is blank for a field, write "NOT FOUND IN SEARCH" -- NEVER fill from memory.
-
Classify each citation:
- OK: ALL fields confirmed
- PARTIAL: Authors + title confirmed, journal/volume not found
- MISMATCH: Fields contradict search results
- UNVERIFIED: Cannot find paper online
- MISSING: Key in \cite{} but not in .bib
-
For forthcoming papers: use
perplexity_askas fallback to check journal placement -
Output verification report:
Citation Audit: main.tex Total: N citations checked OK: X | Partial: Y | Mismatch: Z | Missing: W --- FLAGGED ENTRIES --- [KEY] STATUS: details...
Process citations in batches of 5 to respect Perplexity rate limits.
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.

verify-citations is a skill published in the GitHub repository Alexander-M-Dickerson/ai-asset-pricing (59 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 536 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
