How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one draft and at most 50 new citations per run.
- 01
Compile the draft
Your agent runs latexmk -pdf main.tex and stops on errors.
- 02
Collect citations
It lists every \cite key and the matching entries in the .bib file.
- 03
Verify each paper
It searches Semantic Scholar and confirms the paper in arXiv or CrossRef too.
- 04
Fetch BibTeX by DOI
It pulls BibTeX through doi.org instead of writing entries from memory.
- 05
Check the claim
It confirms the cited claim really appears in the paper.
- 06
Mark placeholders
Anything it cannot verify becomes a placeholder, and the scientist gets the list.
- 07
Run the checklist
It checks the venue checklist from references/checklists.md and the page limit.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inloops/paper-citation-check-loop/**, *.bib
- Talks toapi.semanticscholar.org, doi.org
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the ML Paper Writing skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ You turn a research repo into a paper
- ✓ You need verified citations
- ✓ You convert a paper to another venue
Skip it when
- – You target a systems venue
- – You write a blog post, not a paper
