Verifies that every entry in a bibliography ACTUALLY EXISTS by cross-checking it against four keyless public scholarly APIs (Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, arXiv) with a polite mailto identifier, resolving DOI/arXiv IDs, fuzzy-matching title and authors (difflib SequenceMatcher ratio >=0.70), flagging retractions marked in Crossref (update-to) or OpenAlex (is_retracted), and emitting per-entry JSON verdicts mapped to the AlterLab citation-hallucination taxonomy (TF/PAC/IH/PH/SH). Accepts BibTeX, a DOI/arXiv ID list, or free-form references; degrades gracefully offline by emitting 'unverified' verdicts and never silently passing. Use when the request mentions verify citations, check references, fabricated or hallucinated references, fake DOI, retraction check, bibliography audit, or reference existence check. Does NOT write or draft papers — for authoring a manuscript (whose citation-check mode inserts citations) prefer alterlab-paper-writer instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Cite 49 CFR 385.301-321.

Blog and web-content system for agency work — plan topics, interview the author for their real take, brief the angle, draft the article, plan images, verify claims, score drafts for quality and AI tells, revise, publish, and refresh aging posts. Shorthand "wltbo" also triggers it. Commands share a per-client memory of brand voice, the author's positions and stories, verified facts with expiry dates, and every published post. Use for blog posts, articles, long-form content, refreshes, keyword targeting, search intent, titles and H1s, meta descriptions, internal linking, cannibalization checks, E-E-A-T, and information gain. Also use when the complaint is "it doesn't sound like us", "it reads AI-written", "it's generic", "we already wrote this one", "the facts are made up", "there are no images", "it's too thin", or "nobody thought this through". Not for social posts, emails, internal comms, case studies (case-study-builder), site audits (website-audit), or content calendars (content-strategy).

Create, edit, improve, or audit AgentSkills. Use when creating a new skill from scratch or when asked to improve, review, audit, tidy up, or clean up an existing skill or SKILL.md file.

Triggers on phrases like "create a skill", "author a skill", "tidy up a skill", "improve this skill", "review the skill", "clean up the skill", "audit the skill".

Domain-agnostic — applies to SaaS, e-commerce, banking, gaming, social platforms, APIs, or any multi-user application with stateful workflows. Chains from /pentester; chains into /param-fuzz when boundary violations or mass assignment are confirmed.

Uses KOAuth, jwt_tool, nuclei oauth templates, and manual ht

Drafts a federally-defensible SOW or PWS the prime issues to a subcontractor / teaming partner — same FAR 37.102(d) / 37.602 / 16.601(c)(2) / 16.306(d) discipline a contracting officer applies, opposite seat. USE WHEN the user asks to "write a SOW for our sub", "draft a PWS for [Partner]", "build the teaming-partner statement of work", "convert this SOO into a sub SOW", "we need a SOW the sub will sign", or any variant of authoring a downstream work statement. Walks the upstream 3-phase tree (acquisition intake → 6 scope blocks → 14-section assembly), pulls scope from the active Theseus KG (requirements, deliverables, work_scope_items, performance_standards), enforces FAR 37.102(d) "no FTEs in body", emits a chat-only staffing handoff for the prime's cost build, writes Markdown for `renderers` → .docx. DO NOT USE FOR prime proposal prose (`proposal-generator`), reverse-engineering an RFP (`rfp-reverse-engineer`), pricing the sub (`price-to-win`), or clause audit (`compliance-auditor`).
