Verbatim Plugin

A Claude Code plugin for the Verbatim platform — specialized document collections with verbatim, citation-grounded answers. Defaults to the ACL Anthology collection (90,000+ NLP/CL papers).

Also includes a general-purpose Verbatim Transform — give it any question + context documents and get a verbatim, cited answer

Install

First add the marketplace:

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/KRLabsOrg/verbatim-skill

Then install:

claude plugin install verbatim

Or test locally without installing:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/verbatim-skill

Setup

1. Go to verbatim.krlabs.eu and sign up
2. Navigate to API Keys and create a new key
3. Set the environment variable:

export VERBATIM_API_KEY=vb_your_key_here

Commands

Command	Description
/verbatim:search	Search collection papers, ask research questions, browse authors/venues
/verbatim:transform	Verbatim transform any question + context into a cited answer

Example Usage

Collection search & research questions:

• /verbatim:search papers about transformer efficiency from 2023
• /verbatim:search what does the research say about attention mechanisms?

Verbatim Transform (collection-agnostic):

• /verbatim:transform what are the main findings? (with context provided)

Or just ask Claude naturally — it will use the API endpoints from the skill.

Collection scoping

Verbatim is organized into collections. The launch collection is the ACL Anthology; more collections may be added. Every action endpoint accepts an optional collection_ids parameter:

• Omit it → defaults to ["anthology"]
• Single collection: ?collection_ids=anthology (GET) or {"collection_ids": ["anthology"]} (POST)
• Multiple: ?collection_ids=anthology&collection_ids=biorxiv or {"collection_ids": ["anthology", "biorxiv"]}
