citesure init: start the paper with a citation integrity gate

Most bibliography failures show up the night before arXiv or the journal deadline: placeholder DOIs, year pasted into volume=, inverted page ranges, invented case reporters. The fix is a paper repo that fails closed from day one.

One command

pip install https://github.com/SybilGambleyyu/citesure/releases/download/v0.5.68/citesure-0.5.68-py3-none-any.whl



citesure init my-paper

cd my-paper

citesure gate . --preset ci

citesure gate . --preset arxiv

citesure init writes refs.bib, pre-commit hooks (gate --preset ci + soft-lint), .github/workflows/citesure.yml, and a short CITESURE.md for coauthors. Empty bibliographies skip hard-ID floors until entries appear.

What the gate checks

• 
  Soft-lint — placeholder number/issue, inverted pages, year-like volume/month/edition, unsafe keys, all-caps titles, missing venues, duplicate DOIs/titles


• 
  Health — hard-ID coverage floors


• 
  Promote dry-run — DOIs still buried in url=
  


• 
  Live verify — Crossref, doi.org, arXiv, PubMed, Europe PMC, DataCite, OpenAlex, CourtListener
