- Works in 4 steps: Search → Confirm Existence → Verify the Specific Claim → …

What it does
Citation Verification is an agent skill from runtsang/RebuttalStudio. Verification guide for citations added during rebuttal writing. Use when Stage 2 responses introduce new references, when the Area Chair asks about a cited paper, or when any citation in the rebuttal might have been AI-generated. Prevents the serious credibility damage of fabricated references in reviewer-facing documents.
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. The repository describes itself as: A rebuttal editor for researchers to craft high-quality academic rebuttals — so you can focus on what to say, not how to format it.
When your agent uses it
- Stage 2 responses introduce new references
- The Area Chair asks about a cited paper
- Any citation in the rebuttal might have been AI-generated
Example prompts
- “/citation-verification”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Search
- Confirm Existence
- Verify the Specific Claim
- Record the Verified Reference
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f81e2f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
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
Citation Verification loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 673 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 673 words (~1,484 tokens).
