## Description

Double-blind bibliographic cross-check: one agent extracts each cited entry verbatim from the local .bib, a second independently re-fetches the same paper's record from the web while blind to the .bib, and a third extractor emits a mechanical field-by-field delta to catch dropped/re-ordered authors, wrong years, wrong venues, and bad DOIs/arXiv ids. The main agent (never a shard) assigns the MATCH/MINOR/MISMATCH verdict per reference, and exports a side-by-side spreadsheet. Use when user says \"citation crosscheck\", \"double-blind citation check\", \"verify bib against scholar\", \"bib field audit\", \"引用交叉核对\", or before submission when bibliography FIELD accuracy (not just existence) must be certified.

> 🔒 **Do not wrap this skill in `/loop`, `/schedule`, or `CronCreate`.** It is
> verdict-bearing, it emits a per-reference verdict that gates `.bib` edits (an evidence
> instrument, not a cross-model acquittal; see the acceptance-gate note in Step 2).
> Re-running it on a timer adds no signal (the verdict changes only when the
> *bibliography* changes).
> Schedule the external wait that precedes it: bibliography finalized → run once. See
> [`shared-references/external-cadence.md`](../shared-references/external-cadence.md).

## Why this exists (and how it differs from `citation-audit`)

`citation-audit` is a single cross-model reviewer that judges three things holistically:
existence, metadata, and **context-fit** (is the cited paper used for a claim it
actually supports?). This skill does **not** do context-fit. It does one thing that a
single reviewer cannot do reliably: an **adversarial, double-blind, field-level diff**
of the local `.bib` entry against an *independently reconstructed* record.

The failure mode it targets is the hand-entry error that survives a plausibility read:
a **dropped or re-ordered author**, a **wrong year**, a **swapped venue**, a **DOI that
404s**. A single reviewer that sees the `.bib` entry tends to anchor on it and rate it
"looks correct." Two agents that never see each other's output cannot anchor, a
discrepancy only survives if *both* independent records agree, and the verifier reports
exactly where they diverge.
