# Citation Audit Verify every `\cite{...}` in a paper against three independent layers: 1. **Existence** — the cited paper actually exists at the claimed arXiv ID / DOI / venue. 2. **Metadata correctness** — author names, year, venue, and title match canonical sources (DBLP, arXiv, ACL Anthology, Nature, OpenReview, etc.). 3. **Context appropriateness** — the cited paper actually supports the claim it is being used to support in the manuscript. This skill is the fourth layer of \aris{}'s evidence-and-claim assurance, complementing `experiment-audit` (code), `result-to-claim` (science verdict), and `paper-claim-audit` (numerical claims). Together they form a bottom-up integrity stack from raw evaluation code to manuscript bibliography. ## When to Use This Skill **Run before submission.** The right gating point is: - After `paper-write` has produced the LaTeX draft and bib file - After `paper-claim-audit` has verified numerical claims - Before final `paper-compile` for submission **Do not** run this on a half-written draft — most of the work is in cross-checking each `\cite` against context, which is wasted on placeholder text. ## What This Skill Catches The dangerous citation problems are **not** wildly fake citations — those are easy to spot. The dangerous ones are: - **Wrong-context citations**: real paper, but the cited claim is not what that paper actually establishes (e.g., citing Self-Refine to support "self-feedback produces correlated errors" — Self-Refine act
