Book Reference Curation

Use this skill when the manuscript needs stronger support for important claims or when the repo needs a curated set of local reference PDFs.

When to Use

• resource estimates need checking;
• hooks use strong quantitative claims;
• reality checks need hard citations;
• the repo maintains a .references/ folder; and
• you want to know which claims feel under-supported.

Procedure

1. Extract the strongest claims from hooks, worked examples, and reality checks.
2. Prioritize claims that affect trust: benchmark numbers, asymptotics, timelines, and empirical comparisons.
3. Match each claim to a paper, report, or clearly attributable source.
4. Check whether the PDF is already present in .references/.
5. Record missing or weakly supported claims.

Rules

• Do not try to cite every sentence.
• Focus on claims a skeptical technical reader would challenge.
