Check the citations in this excerpt and format the references in AMA.
Text: Statin therapy reduced cardiovascular events in high-risk patients.1 Adherence remained the main barrier to benefit.2
References
- Smith J, Lee K. Statins and cardiovascular outcomes. N Engl J Med. 2019;380(9):812-820. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1900001
- Patel R. Medication adherence in chronic disease. Lancet. 2020;395:doi:10.fake/123
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the citation & reference
REFERENCE INTEGRITY NOTE — 2 references checked, style: AMA
- SYNC: All in-text markers (1, 2) map to a reference-list entry; no orphan or uncited references.
- INTEGRITY: Ref 2 — DOI "10.fake/123" is malformed and volume/page data is missing; reference UNVERIFIED.
- IDENTIFIERS: Ref 1 DOI is well-formed; consider adding a PMID. Ref 2 missing valid DOI and page range.
- FORMATTING: Both references conform to AMA; Ref 2 incomplete pending verification.
VERDICT: FAIL — 1 unverifiable reference (Ref 2) must be confirmed against the journal before submission.
Corrected reference list (AMA):
- Smith J, Lee K. Statins and cardiovascular outcomes. N Engl J Med. 2019;380(9):812-820. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1900001
- Patel R. Medication adherence in chronic disease. Lancet. 2020;395:[volume/pages and valid DOI required — UNVERIFIED].

About this skill
Stop AI Hallucinations in Scholarly Writing
AI agents are notorious for "hallucinating" plausible-sounding but non-existent citations. The Citation & Reference Integrity Manager is a specialized audit tool designed for developers and researchers building high-stakes document workflows where accuracy is non-negotiable.
What it does
This skill executes a rigorous five-pass Quality Control (QC) process on any AI-generated text. It doesn't just reformat text; it monitors sync between in-text markers and the bibliography, validates DOI/PMID structures, and flags suspicious references that lack a real-world footprint.
Key Features
- Integrity Auditing: Identifies fabricated authors, journals, or malformed DOIs.
- Style Enforcement: Native support for AMA (11th ed.), Vancouver (ICMJE), and APA (7th ed.).
- Sync Logic: Catches orphan citations and uncited references automatically.
- Structural Validation: Ensures sequential numbering and correct journal abbreviations.
Why use this skill?
Unlike a standard LLM prompt which often struggles to maintain a numbering system or "double-checks" its own lies, this skill follows a structured verification protocol. It produces a professional Reference Integrity Note and a verdict, giving you a programmatic way to block "hallucinated" research from shipping to clients or journals.
