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.
