Conditionally double-blind bibliographic cross-check (double-blind only when the host can isolate the web agent; a flag-only heuristic when isolation can't be attested): one agent extracts each cited entry verbatim from the local .bib, a second independently re-fetches the same paper's record from the web while blind to the .bib, and a third extractor emits a mechanical field-by-field delta to catch dropped/re-ordered authors, wrong years, wrong venues, and bad DOIs/arXiv ids. The main agent (never a shard) assigns the MATCH/MINOR/MISMATCH verdict per reference, and exports a side-by-side spreadsheet. Use when user says "citation crosscheck", "double-blind citation check", "verify bib against scholar", "bib field audit", "引用交叉核对", or before submission when bibliography FIELD accuracy (not just existence) must be certified.

# Citation Cross-Check (conditionally double-blind bib-vs-web field audit)

> **Codex mirror adaptation (normative).** This skill has no cross-model jury *by
> design* — it is an evidence instrument, not an acquittal step (see the acceptance-gate
> note in Step 2, and pair it with `citation-audit` for the cross-model verdict). A and B
> are read-only extraction shards and C emits a mechanical per-field delta, so every
> verdict is assigned by the main agent from that delta plus its own primary-source
> fetch — not by any shard and not by a reviewer model.
>
> **Blindness is NOT automatically identical across hosts — it is *conditional on
> isolation*, and the gate enforces that.** The whole cross-check rests on B never seeing
> the `.bib`. On the mainline, the `Agent` tool gives B a fresh context. On a Codex host
> the frontmatter grants **no delegation tool** (no `Agent`, no `spawn_agent` — see
> `allowed-tools`), so:
