Verify citations against Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv and doi.org: a DOI must resolve and its metadata must match. Audits .bib files, resolves references without DOI, flags retractions, guides literature searches.
Install with the Skills CLI (verifies the checksum, previews the destination, never runs scripts)
skills install @spboucher/citation-verification@1.0.0 --client claude-codeAdd --project to install into .claude/skills/citation-verification instead of ~/.claude/skills/citation-verification.

An agent skill for checking references instead of trusting them. It teaches the rule that matters (a DOI must resolve and its registered metadata must match the citation) and ships a command-line tool that applies it to one citation or a whole bibliography.

Run a sequential revision experiment on a text and record what the Pangram detector reports for each version, as an observed outcome: frozen editorial plan, one submission per step, real evaluations, preservation checks, chart and report.
Peer-review protocol for LaTeX and Markdown manuscripts: deterministic audit script, five review roles, adversarial verification of findings, anchored rubric, referee report and decision letter templates.
Build, audit and grade Excel model workbooks: layout standard, dependency-free command-line auditor (errors, hard-coded numbers, broken patterns, circular references, controls, stale values) and rubric-based grading aid.
