bib-verify
Verify a BibTeX file for hallucinated or fabricated references by cross-checking every entry against CrossRef, arXiv, and DBLP. Reports each reference as verified, suspect, or not found, with field-level mismatch details (title, authors, year, DOI). Use when the user wants to check a .bib file for fake citations, validate references in a paper, or audit bibliography entries for accuracy.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# BibTeX Verification Skill Check every entry in a `.bib` file against real academic databases using the OpenJudge `PaperReviewPipeline` in BibTeX-only mode: 1. **Parse** — extract all entries from the `.bib` file 2. **Lookup** — query CrossRef, arXiv, and DBLP for each reference 3. **Match** — compare title, authors, year, and DOI 4. **Report** — flag each entry as `verified`, `suspect`, or `not_found` ## Prerequisites ```bash pip install py-openjudge litellm ``` ## Gather from user before running | Info | Required? | Notes | |------|-----------|-------| | BibTeX file path | Yes | `.bib` file to verify | | CrossRef email | No | Improves CrossRef API rate limits | ## Quick start ```bash # Verify a standalone .bib file python -m cookbooks.paper_review --bib_only references.bib # With CrossRef email for better rate limits python -m cookbooks.paper_review --bib_only references.bib --email your@email.com # Save report to a custom path python -m cookbooks.paper_review --bib_only references.bib \ --email your@email.com --output bib_report.md ``` ## Relevant options | Flag | Default | Description | |------|---------|-------------| | `--bib_only` | — | Path to `.bib` file (required for sta

What does the bib-verify skill do?
Verify a BibTeX file for hallucinated or fabricated references by cross-checking every entry against CrossRef, arXiv, and DBLP. Reports each reference as verified, suspect, or not found, with field-level mismatch details (title, authors, year, DOI). Use when the user wants to check a .bib file for fake citations, validate references in a paper, or audit bibliography entries for accuracy.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add agentscope-ai/OpenJudge --skill bib-verify --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From agentscope-ai/OpenJudge, a repository with 764 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
