Quick start

From install to audit in three commands.

Install refcheck into a Python environment with SSH access to the GitHub repository, initialize it in your paper, then launch the audit.

Terminal
1pip install "refcheck @ git+ssh://git@github.com/refcheck/refcheck.git"
2cd /path/to/your/latex/project && refcheck init
3refcheck run

Already installed? Run the first command again with --upgrade to get the latest version.

One review workspace

Find the claim. Find the evidence. Close the gap.

refcheck turns every citation occurrence into a concrete review task and keeps the supporting evidence attached to the exact claim it justifies.

Find every claim

Scans your LaTeX entry point, follows included files, and surfaces the exact sentence and paragraph around each citation command.

Connect Zotero evidence

Reads your local Zotero library and lets one highlight support one or several claims, with direct links back to the PDF page.

Suggest with local AI

LM Studio scans the PDF locally. Every proposed passage is matched against the actual PDF text before you see it.

Search beyond the bibliography

Search scite for papers fitting a claim through OAuth-secured MCP, with metadata, DOI links, and relevant excerpts.

Track coverage

See open and covered claims per paper, filter unresolved citations, and move through the audit with clear progress.

Export the record

Download a CSV index of supporting quotes and comments for review, handoff, or research documentation.

Private by architecture

Your paper stays on your computer.

The hosted frontend is static. refcheck run starts a temporary, token-protected API bound to 127.0.0.1. Closing the terminal ends the session.
