Validates BibTeX bibliography entries against citations in LaTeX and Quarto manuscripts to ensure academic rigor and consistency.

The Academic Bibliography Validator is designed for researchers and students who need to ensure their citations and references are perfectly synchronized. By cross-referencing citation keys found in LaTeX (.tex) and Quarto (.qmd) files against BibTeX (.bib) databases, the skill identifies critical missing entries, flags unused references to keep libraries lean, and detects potential typos through similarity matching. It also performs a quality audit on your bibliography entries, checking for missing fields like journal titles or years and identifying malformed author strings, making it an essential tool for preparing manuscripts for journal submission or peer review.
