Academic Reference Matcher

Use only for user-provided academic text, explicit scholarly claims, existing citations, or known bibliographies needing citations added, verified, replaced, extracted, or formatted. Supports claim-to-source matching, citation-support checks, replacements, and common academic citation formats. Do not use for general fact-checking, legal/journalistic citation work, open-ended 'find literature about X', topic-level exhaustive discovery, systematic-review corpus construction, PRISMA searches, or creating new research claims. Chinese: 为已有段落补参考文献、核验已有引用、替换错误引用、提取需引文论断、GB/T 7714 格式化.

# Academic Reference Matcher

Match evidence to bounded, user-supplied academic claims. This is not an AutoResearch workflow: do not broaden the question, discover a topic-level corpus, or write extra claims.

## Scope gate

Proceed only when the user supplies at least one of: academic text, a discrete claim, citations attached to text, or a known reference list. Ask for the missing text, claim, or bibliography when needed.

Decline or redirect requests for open-ended research questions, comprehensive topic searches, systematic-review screening, PRISMA flow, or claims of complete coverage. Explain that this skill audits or matches citations for a bounded text; it does not build an exhaustive literature corpus.

Never invent bibliographic fields or claim support. Preserve the requested language and style; otherwise use author-year citations and a compact reference list. Report weak support, access limits, and unverified claims plainly.

## Mode shortcut

Choose one mode before work. Do not turn a narrow mode into a search task.

### Add

Match new scholarly evidence to specified uncited claims. Do not add claims or expand the topic.

### Verify

Resolve and assess citations already attached to claims first. Search only to resolve identity, version/status, or a necessary gap; do not proactively find replacements.

### Replace
