Audit an existing .bib file entry by entry against canonical metadata (Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv, Zotero) to catch silent citation errors that pass spell-check and kill peer review, including wrong years, mis-cited authors, wrong journal or volume, swapped title-author pairs, dead DOIs, and hallucinated entries from LLM-assisted drafting. TRIGGER on "/bibcheck", "audit my .bib", "verify my references", "check my bibliography", "are any of these citations fake", "did Claude hallucinate a citation", "pre-submission bib audit", or before shipping a manuscript or R&R to Marketing Science, JMR, JCR, or Management Science. Read-only: writes a report and a separate corrected.bib, never touches the source.

From the source SKILL.md

Given a .bib, spawn subagents over batches of 5 entries to verify each entry against canonical metadata, then emit a PASS/WARN/FAIL report and a corrected.bib the user reviews and merges. The source .bib is never modified.
