citation-audit

citation-audit is a skill for Claude Code from raja21068/AutoResearch. It costs 114 tokens per session (7,281 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of citation-audit, MIT.

A bibliography-checking tool for research papers. It verifies that cited papers exist, have correct publication details, and actually support the claims where they are cited.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit citations in a completed paper against sources such as DBLP, arXiv, and the ACL Anthology.
Why use it?
It helps catch invented references, incorrect authors or dates, version mismatches, and citations used in the wrong context before submission.

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

citation-audit 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 494 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Citation Audit

Verify every \cite{...} in a paper against three independent layers:

  1. Existence — the cited paper actually exists at the claimed arXiv ID / DOI / venue.
  2. Metadata correctness — author names, year, venue, and title match canonical sources (DBLP, arXiv, ACL Anthology, Nature, OpenReview, etc.).
  3. Context appropriateness — the cited paper actually supports the claim it is being used to support in the manuscript.

This skill is the fourth layer of \aris{}'s evidence-and-claim assurance, complementing experiment-audit (code), result-to-claim (science verdict), and paper-claim-audit (numerical claims). Together they form a bottom-up integrity stack from raw evaluation code to manuscript bibliography.

When to Use This Skill

Run before submission. The right gating point is:

  • After paper-write has produced the LaTeX draft and bib file
  • After paper-claim-audit has verified numerical claims
  • Before final paper-compile for submission

Do not run this on a half-written draft — most of the work is in cross-checking each \cite against context, which is wasted on placeholder text.

What This Skill Catches

The dangerous citation problems are not wildly fake citations — those are easy to spot. The dangerous ones are:

  • Wrong-context citations: real paper, but the cited claim is not what that paper actually establishes (e.g., citing Self-Refine to support "self-feedback produces correlated errors" — Self-Refine actually argues the opposite).
  • Author hallucinations: anonymous-author placeholders that slipped through, missing co-authors, wrong order.
  • Title drift: arXiv v1 vs v3 with different titles silently merged.
  • Venue confusion: arXiv preprint cited but the official venue is now CVPR/ICML/NeurIPS — using the wrong record.
  • Year mismatch: arXiv 2023 preprint with 2024 conference acceptance, year reported inconsistently.
  • Phantom DOIs: DOI looks real but does not resolve.
  • Self-citation drift: your own prior work cited with year off by one.

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.
