citation-fixer

citation-fixer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cynthiajones34/GBrain. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,544 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of citation-fixer, MIT.

A citation checker and repair tool for knowledge-base pages. It checks whether factual claims use the required inline source format and can restore missing links to posts on X, formerly called Twitter.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps audit research notes, correct citation formatting, and add direct X post links when the post reference lacks a URL.
Why use it?
It finds unsupported facts and inconsistent references that make notes hard to verify. It also reports what it scanned, fixed, and could not fix.

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

citation-fixer 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Citation Fixer Skill

Convention: see conventions/quality.md for the canonical citation format every fix should match.

Output rule: all links MUST be deterministic (built from API data, not composed by LLM). See _output-rules.md.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

  • Every brain page is scanned for citation compliance.
  • Missing citations are flagged with specific location.
  • Malformed citations are fixed to match the standard format.
  • (v0.25.1) Tweet / post references without URLs are resolved via X API and patched with deterministic https://x.com/<handle>/status/<id> links.
  • Results reported with counts (scanned, fixed, remaining).

Phases

  1. Scan pages. List pages and read each one, checking for inline [Source: ...] citations.
  2. Identify issues:
    • Facts without any citation
    • Citations missing date
    • Citations missing source type
    • Citations with wrong format
    • (v0.25.1) Tweet references without x.com URLs
  3. Fix format issues. Rewrite malformed citations to match conventions/quality.md.
  4. (v0.25.1) Resolve tweet references via the X API integration.
  5. Report results. Count: pages scanned, citations found, issues fixed, tweets resolved, remaining gaps.

Tweet resolution pipeline (v0.25.1 extension)

For each broken tweet reference, follow this chain. The actual API call goes through whatever X integration the host has configured (typical shape: a recipe under recipes/x-api/ with handle / search-all endpoints).

Step 1: Identify broken references

Scan the page for patterns that indicate tweet references without URLs:

  • Contains words like tweeted, posted, said on X, RT, retweet, X post
  • Contains quoted text that looks like a tweet (short, punchy, often starts with a quote)
  • Has [Source: ... X/Twitter ...] without an x.com URL
  • References engagement metrics (likes, impressions) without a link

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.
