What it does
Validate Bib is an agent skill from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. Validate bibliography entries against citations in all lecture files. Structural checks (missing/unused entries, malformed fields) by default; --semantic adds citation-drift detection, DOI verification, and style-consistency checks.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and GitOps. The repository describes itself as: A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Citation management
- Tasks that involve GitOps
Example prompts
- “/validate-bib”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Bash, WebFetch
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the bibliography file and extract all citation keys.
- Scan lecture files for citation keys
- Cross-reference
- Check entry quality
- Write report to quality_reports/bib_audit_structural.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae72617. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobWriteBashWebFetch
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
doi.orgapi.crossref.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Validate Bib loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 582 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Bash, WebFetch
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Validate Bibliography
Cross-reference citations in lecture files against bibliography entries. Two modes:
- Default (structural): missing entries, unused entries, malformed fields, typo candidates.
--semantic: adds citation-drift detection (duplicate entries for the same paper), DOI verification via crossref, and citation-style consistency within each file.
Report saved to quality_reports/bib_audit_[structural|semantic].md.
Mode 1: Structural (default)
Steps
Read the bibliography file and extract all citation keys.
Scan lecture files for citation keys:
.tex:\cite{,\citet{,\citep{,\citeauthor{,\citeyear{,\textcite{,\parencite{.qmd/.md:@key,[@key],[@key1; @key2]- Extract all unique citation keys used.
Cross-reference:
- Missing entries (CRITICAL): cited in lectures, absent from
.bib. - Unused entries (informational): in
.bibbut never cited. - Typo candidates: keys within edit-distance 2 of a
.bibkey (e.g.,Smith2020vsSmth2020).
- Missing entries (CRITICAL): cited in lectures, absent from
Check entry quality:
- Required fields present (author, title, year, journal/booktitle).
- Author field properly formatted.
- Year in 1900–current.
- No malformed characters / encoding issues.

Mode 2: Semantic (--semantic)
Everything in Mode 1, plus:
2a. Citation drift detection
Multiple .bib entries describing the same paper under different keys. Symptoms:
Smith2020+Smith2020awith identical DOI or title.CallawaySantAnna2021+CS2021both pointing to the same paper.- Collaborator-merged
.bibfiles.
Detection heuristics (any → FLAG):
| Check | Signal |
|---|---|
| Same DOI across keys | Hard-duplicate (CRITICAL) |
| Same title (case-insensitive, punct-stripped) | Likely duplicate (CRITICAL) |
| Same author+year+journal | Probable duplicate (MEDIUM) |
| Title Jaccard > 0.85 on tokens ≥ 4 chars | Soft-duplicate (LOW) |
For each flagged pair: list both keys, where each is cited, and recommend a canonical key (prefer most-cited, then alphabetically first).
2b. DOI verification (optional; network)
For each entry with a doi, fetch https://api.crossref.org/works/{doi} and compare:
- First-author last name
- Year
- Title (Jaccard > 0.7 on normalized tokens)
- Container-title / journal (exact or abbreviation)
Severity:
- Author or title mismatch → CRITICAL (wrong paper)
- Year mismatch → MEDIUM (preprint vs published, or typo)
- Journal mismatch → LOW (legitimate preprint variants)
Rate limit: cap 50 lookups per run, 0.5s delay between calls. Cache in quality_reports/.doi_cache.json.
Opt-out: --skip-doi for offline or no-WebFetch environments.
Show full SKILL.md (245 more words)Show less
2c. Style consistency within each file
For each file, count citation commands (\citet vs \citep vs \cite; @key vs [@key]). FLAG files with mixed styles without an obvious pattern (e.g., 20× \citep and 3× \cite in the same deck). Low-severity.
2d. Cite-claim sanity (flag-only)
Gated behind --cite-claim. For the top-10 most-cited works per file, WebFetch the crossref abstract and surface it beside the in-text context. No auto-judgment — humans decide if the claim matches.
This is existence/structure, not appropriateness. Deciding whether the cited paper actually says what the in-text claim attributes to it is
/verify-claims's job — it reads the source and grounds a supports / partial / contradicts verdict in quotes + pages (with the EXPLAINED escape for a defensible named alternative).--cite-claimonly surfaces the abstract; for the verdict, run/verify-claims.

1. Resolve duplicates — pick canonical key, update citations, remove orphans.
2. Fix DOI mismatches — verify paper in crossref or strip the wrong DOI.
3. Review style-consistency notes.Exit behavior
- Structural: exit 0; report enumerates issues.
- Semantic: exit 0 if only LOW findings; exit 1 on any CRITICAL. Usable as a pre-submission gate.
Cross-references
.claude/skills/review-paper/SKILL.md— pair for full pre-submission..claude/skills/audit-reproducibility/SKILL.md— numeric-claims counterpart..claude/skills/verify-claims/SKILL.md— citation appropriateness counterpart (does the cited paper support the claim?). This skill checks that a citation exists and is well-formed;/verify-claimschecks that it holds.
What this skill does NOT do
- Judge whether a citation is used in the right context — whether the cited paper actually says what the claim attributes to it. That is
/verify-claims's job (see 2d); this skill stays existence-and-structure only. - Auto-fix your
.bibfile — all edits are recommendations. - Check non-DOI identifiers (ISBN, arXiv, SSRN) — roadmap.
