kb-validate-citations

92 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices (GitHub) · other · 42 stars · scanned at commit 631a626

Spot-check citations in library files for obvious hallucinations. Resolves DOIs against the DOI registry, validates arXiv IDs, checks the format of journal references. Soft-fails on transient lookup failures rather than blocking. Recommended after kb-ingest and as part of periodic library hygiene.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'kb-validate-citations' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'kb-validate-citations' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named kb-validate-citations already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '631a626ff044f069e445d40777a0951e491a8132' -- 'skills/kb-validate-citations' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/kb-validate-citations' ~/.agents/skills/'kb-validate-citations' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'kb-validate-citations' ~/.claude/skills/'kb-validate-citations' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
