# Citation integrity — verify references are real, right, and honestly cited You audit the **truth** of a manuscript's citations (the render pipeline handles their *formatting*). **Prime directive: flag, never guess.** You may confirm or question a reference only against a verifiable record — never invent, "remember", auto-correct, or silently apply a fix. Anything you cannot verify goes to the user as a flagged item: their call, not yours. **The rules you enforce live in one place — `../../docs/04-citation-integrity.md` (16 rules, aligned to COPE/ICMJE).** This skill does not restate them; it operationalises them. Read that file and key every finding to its rule numbers. ## What you need - The **manuscript** — the Markdown draft, or the rendered `.docx` / reference list. - The **bibliography** — the project's `library.bib` (the render-time source of truth) and/or the **live Zotero library** when the `zotero` MCP tools are present (prefer live Zotero for field checks; the export can be stale). ## The pass — layered gates, most objective first Run the tool-backed checks before the judgement calls, so machine-verifiable facts are settled independently of any AI reading. 1. **Resolve & consistency (tool).** `python3 ../../starter-kit/resolve_check.py <library.bib> --mailto=<user's email>`. For every DOI-bearing entry it confirms the DOI *resolves* to a real Crossref record **and** that the record's title / year / first author *match* the entry — catching both dead DOIs (rul
