Run refcheck
From the root of your LaTeX project:
refcheck runThe command extracts the current citations, starts a temporary API bound to your computer, and opens a private session on this website. Your LaTeX source, annotations, PDFs, and Zotero database remain local.
If the connection prompt appears, allow refcheck-34u.pages.dev to connect to software running on your computer. Closing the terminal stops the local session.
Use local AI suggestions
Start LM Studio's local server at http://127.0.0.1:1234, load the model configured in refcheck.toml, and click Suggest with AI on a citation. refcheck scans the local PDF, verifies candidate passages against the PDF text, and lets you open the matching page in Zotero. Your PDF text stays on your computer.
Search for a better reference
Click Connect scite on a claim and complete the OAuth sign-in to enable Search using external services. refcheck uses PKCE and keeps the resulting tokens in the local project work directory. The search sends only the selected claim sentence—not your project files or PDFs.
