Sample input
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: 1. Smith J, Lee K. Statins and cardiovascular outcomes. N Engl J Med. 2019;380(9):812-820. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1900001 2. Patel R. Medication adherence in chronic disease. Lancet. 2020;395:doi:10.fake/123
Sample output
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): 1. Smith J, Lee K. Statins and cardiovascular outcomes. N Engl J Med. 2019;380(9):812-820. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1900001 2. 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.
Use Cases
- Identify and flag fabricated or 'hallucinated' academic sources
- Ensure in-text citations and reference lists are perfectly synchronized
- Reformat bibliographies into professional AMA, APA, or Vancouver styles
- Validate the structure of DOIs and PubMed IDs for every source
- Generate a formal Reference Integrity Note for peer-review readiness
Known Limitations
Flags references as likely fabricated or unverified based on structural and consistency checks; it does not perform live database lookups, so confirm any UNVERIFIED reference against the journal or a citation database before final submission.
