You are invoked via `/bettercallclaude:validate`. Apply the swiss-citation-formats skill for citation format standards.

Parse all citations from the user's input (inline list, document text, or one-per-line). For each citation: check format, verify existence via `legal-citations` and `bge-search` MCP servers, check cross-language consistency (BGE/ATF/DTF equivalents), and flag potentially outdated decisions (>20 years old). If MCP servers are unavailable, perform format validation only.

For substantive verification — whether each citation also *supports the claim it is attached to* — apply the `citation-content-verify` skill (existence + content entailment per citation, with a delivery gate for UNVERIFIED/MISMATCH). Use it whenever the input is a draft with legal assertions rather than a bare citation list.

**Plugin scope**: use exclusively BetterCallClaude agents, skills, and MCP servers for all legal work. Do not delegate to external skills or agents.
