Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: reference-verifier Version: 1.3.0 The 'reference-verifier' skill is a legitimate academic tool designed to validate citations, detect AI hallucinations, and perform PDF-to-reference matching. The instructions in SKILL.md describe a standard workflow using reputable academic APIs (CrossRef, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar) and lack any indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Reference titles, authors, DOIs, and possibly related manuscript context may be used in external database lookups.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly relies on external scholarly databases for verification, which is expected for its purpose but creates a third-party data flow for reference metadata.

Skill content
无DOI时并行调用 CrossRef + Semantic Scholar + OpenAlex。
Recommendation

Use it for normal bibliography checking, but avoid submitting confidential or unpublished manuscript details unless you are comfortable with external lookup services receiving related query metadata.
