When you're writing academic papers with AI assistance, this catches the citation errors before they bite you. It walks through a verification workflow using WebSearch, Google Scholar, CrossRef, and arXiv to confirm every reference actually exists and matches what you're claiming. The approach is pragmatic: verify as you write, not after, and always mark citations you can't confirm with [CITATION NEEDED]. Especially useful given that AI-generated citations fail about 40% of the time. It's designed to work alongside ml-paper-writing but you can reference the principles directly when you need the detailed verification steps or claim-checking guidance.
