/audit-references

Verify every literature note and cited reference in a project or publication draft by fetching each URL and confirming the paper's identity. This is a mechanical verification procedure — do not rely on memory or judgment about whether a paper is real.

When to use this

• Pre-publication gate: Before committing or sharing any publication draft, run this to verify all cited references.
• Post-literature-review: After /lit-review produces notes, run this to verify them.
• Periodic audit: On any project with a literature/ directory that hasn't been audited recently.
• Incident response: When a hallucination is suspected in any literature note.

Step 1: Discover literature notes

If the argument is a project directory (e.g., projects/sample-project/):

• Glob for <project>/literature/*.md (exclude synthesis.md or any non-note files)
• These are the notes to audit

If the argument is a publication draft file:

• Read the draft and extract all citation references (author-year style, footnotes, or bibliography entries)
• For each citation, find the corresponding literature note in the project's literature/ directory
• Flag any citations that have no corresponding literature note

Step 2: Extract claims from each note

For each literature note, extract:

1. Claimed title — from the Citation: line or # <title> heading
2. Claimed authors — from the Citation: line
3. Claimed URL/DOI — from the URL/DOI: line
4. Claimed venue/year — from the Citation: line
5. Current verified field — if present in the note

Step 3: Fetch and verify each URL

For each URL/DOI:

1. Fetch the URL using WebFetch. For arxiv URLs, fetch the abstract page (e.g., https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX.XXXXX).
2. Extract the actual title from the fetched page.
3. Extract actual authors from the fetched page.
4. Compare title: Does the fetched title match the claimed title? Use fuzzy matching — minor differences in capitalization, punctuation, or subtitle formatting are acceptable. A completely different topic is a FAIL.
5. Compare authors: Does at least one claimed author appear in the fetched author list? One match is sufficient.
6. Record the result: PASS (title matches, author matches), FAIL (title or author mismatch), or ERROR (URL unreachable, 404, paywall, etc.).
