    Citation & Reference Integrity Manager

    Example session with this skill installed

    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
    • 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):

    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.
