Does it support incremental updates?

Yes, it tracks a last-run timestamp in a maintenance file and only scans papers modified since the last validation to save time and resources.

How does it verify if a paper is actually cited?

The skill fetches the arXiv HTML version of your source paper and extracts the bibliography section to cross-reference your internal links against the actual reference list.

What defines an 'influential' paper in this context?

A paper is flagged as influential if it is cited at least twice in the source text or explicitly mentioned in foundational sections like the abstract or introduction.

Can it fix broken file names automatically?

Yes, it identifies links using illegal characters like colons and suggests or applies fixes to match standard naming conventions (e.g., converting ':' to '-').

Does this skill use a lot of tokens?

No, it is highly optimized. It uses targeted WebFetch prompts to skip 90% of the paper content, focusing only on the references section for maximum efficiency.

学習とドキュメンテーション

Validates and cleans research paper links in Markdown notes by cross-referencing arXiv bibliographies and citation counts.

The Paper Link Validator is a specialized tool for researchers and knowledge workers maintaining academic vaults in Markdown. It automates the verification of internal paper links by fetching live bibliography data from arXiv, ensuring that every link in your notes corresponds to a real, influential reference in the source text. It prevents 'link hallucination' by removing non-referenced papers, enforces Title Case formatting, and automatically corrects file-naming conventions such as converting colons to hyphens. By utilizing incremental scans and targeted web fetching, it maintains a high-integrity research database with maximum token efficiency.
