About this skill
What it does. Parses references from a paper, a single citation or a BibTeX file, then checks available sources and compares authors, titles, dates, volume, issue, pages and DOI. It rates discrepancies by severity and confidence, and can produce a Markdown report, a BibTeX patch or Zotero update instructions.
When to use it. For final reference checks, investigating citation errors, validating migrated bibliographies or checking a Zotero library. Chinese references and records unavailable from one source are checked through alternate databases or search where available.
