Citation Verifier
Generate citations/ref.bib and ensure every entry has a traceable verification record in citations/verified.jsonl.
When network access is restricted, prefer a “record now, verify later” workflow: keep URLs/titles consistent and leave a clear verification note.
Input papers/paper_notes.jsonl Outputs citations/ref.bib citations/verified.jsonl Workflow (heuristic) Collect bibkey, title, url, year, authors from papers/paper_notes.jsonl. Write/refresh citations/ref.bib: Prefer arXiv-style fields when arxiv_id / primary_category exist (eprint, archivePrefix, primaryClass). Write one verification record per BibTeX entry to citations/verified.jsonl with at least: bibkey, title, url, date If you cannot verify via network, record a clear notes field (e.g., “auto-generated; needs manual verification”) and/or request human confirmation depending on your policy. Quality checklist Every BibTeX entry has a corresponding verified.jsonl record. No missing url/date/title in verification records. Offline Mode
When network access is restricted, run in offline mode to produce auditable records now, then verify later.
Generate offline records: verification_status: offline_generated
Verify later (when network is available): --verify-only
verification_status
offline_generated: record was generated without network verification (needs later verification)
verified_online: URL/title verified successfully by the script
verify_failed: verification was attempted but failed (network error or title mismatch)
needs_manual_verification: missing/ambiguous fields (e.g., empty url/title)
Script
Quick Start
python .codex/skills/citation-verifier/scripts/run.py --help
Offline (record now, verify later): python .codex/skills/citation-verifier/scripts/run.py --workspace
Symptom:
citations/ref.bib is missing entries, or verified.jsonl has empty url/title.
Causes:
papers/paper_notes.jsonl lacks bibkey/url fields.
Solutions:
Ensure each core paper note has a stable bibkey and a canonical url. Rerun citation generation after fixing notes. Issue: verification_status=offline_generated
Symptom:
Records exist but are not truly verified.
Causes:
--offline was used, or network verification was unavailable.
Solutions:
When network is available, run --verify-only to upgrade records. Or manually verify and update citations/verified.jsonl with notes. Recovery Checklist Every BibTeX entry has a matching citations/verified.jsonl record. Verification records include url, date, title.
