Can I skip the re-scan if I am sure I fixed everything?

No. The 'Iron Law' of this skill dictates that re-scanning is mandatory because silent failures are common during the correction phase.

How does the Gemini re-audit integration work?

The skill re-runs a Gemini-based audit on all previously flagged footnotes to ensure that the fixes didn't introduce new issues or overlook subtle errors.

What happens if the verification finds remaining issues?

If issues are found, the skill requires you to return to the 'Correct' phase and then re-verify until zero real issues remain.

What specific formatting issues does this skill check?

It checks for small caps consistency, signal italics, terminal periods, cross-reference placeholders ([_]), and id. reference chains.

Is this skill limited to legal documents?

While specifically optimized for Bluebook legal citations and DOCX files, its verification logic can be adapted for any strict academic citation style.

Security & Testing

Verifies Bluebook citation corrections in DOCX files by re-scanning for formatting, cross-references, and signal consistency.

This skill automates the final verification phase of a Bluebook legal citation audit workflow. It re-extracts footnotes from corrected Word documents to ensure all mechanical issues—such as small caps, signal italics, terminal periods, and id. chains—have been fully resolved. By integrating with specialized Python scanners and Gemini-powered re-auditing, it eliminates 'silent failures' and prevents uncorrected issues from persisting in the final document, providing a rigorous quality gate before archiving.
