Reference Verification

skill-docxology-template-verification · by docxology

Deterministic anti-hallucination gate for cited references. Resolves each entry in a manuscript .bib file against Crossref, OpenAlex, and arXiv; flags fabricated (identifier resolves to nothing), mismatched (title/author/year disagree), unverifiable (no identifier), unchecked (offline cache miss — never silently OK), and anachronistic (future-dated) citations. Offline-first with a persistent SQLi…

About

Skill Descriptor — infrastructure/reference/verification

Module Overview

Given the references a manuscript claims to cite, prove (or disprove) that each one exists and matches its cited metadata. This is the verification side of the literature workflow; infrastructure/search/literature is the discovery side.

Capabilities

  • Resolve: DOI → Crossref then OpenAlex (cross-index triangulation); arXiv

id → arXiv API; bare title → Crossref title search with a similarity floor.

  • Classify (deterministic): ok, mismatch, fabricated, unverifiable,

unchecked, anachronism.

  • Offline-first: with allow_network=False (default), consult only the

SQLite cache and report unchecked on a miss — a skipped check never launders into a clean pass.

  • Persistent cache: SQLite, 90-day TTL, stores negative results so

"fabricated" is fast and stable.

  • Temporal integrity: flag citations dated after the manuscript's as-of year.

CLI

uv run python -m infrastructure.reference.verification verify references.bib
uv run python -m infrastructure.reference.verification verify references.bib --live --as-of-year 2026 --fail-on-issues
uv run python -m infrastructure.reference.verification verify references.bib --json
uv run python -m infrastructure.reference.verification cache-clear

Python API

from infrastructure.reference.verification import ReferenceResolver, ResolutionCache, verify_bibfile

resolver = ReferenceResolver(cache=ResolutionCache("cache.db"), allow_network=True)
report = verify_bibfile("references.bib", resolver, as_of_year=2026)
print(report.summary_line())
assert not report.has_blocking
