citations-on

citations-on is a command for coding agents from alphabravo-oss/guild. It costs 12 tokens per session (141 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A response-checking hook that verifies file-and-line references before an answer is sent. It checks that the referenced files were actually read or searched during the same turn.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking code explanations, reviews, and other answers that include file-and-line references.
Why use it?
It helps prevent answers from pointing to files the agent did not inspect.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

citations-on scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

The user wants to enable the citation-verifier Stop hook. This hook scans every response for file:line citations and blocks any response that cites a file Claude did not Read or Grep in the same turn.

Run exactly this Bash command:

mkdir -p ~/.claude && echo default > ~/.claude/.adhoc-citations-mode && echo "adhoc citation-verifier: ON. Responses with unverified file:line citations will be blocked until you Read the cited files."

After it succeeds, reply to the user with one short line confirming the citation hook is on. Do not add anything else.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
