citevahti-writing

citevahti-writing is a skill for Claude Code from heidihelena/citevahti. It costs 65 tokens per session (950 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A writing workflow for drafting research manuscripts from references that a researcher has already checked and approved. Zotero is a tool for managing research references and citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft or extend paragraphs, discussions, and other manuscript sections from adjudicated claims, then review and accept, edit, or reject the text.
Why use it?
It keeps generated prose tied to reviewed evidence and provides a traceable path from a claim to its citation. It prevents the writing process from inventing references.

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

citevahti-writing 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 12d 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.

CiteVahti Writing — AI-Assisted Drafting from Checked Evidence

Overview

Coordinates the MatchVahti → CiteVahti → AI writing chain. The researcher reviews evidence first, marks citation slots, CiteVahti checks and commits to Zotero, then AI drafts prose — drawing only on claims the human has already adjudicated.

The AI writes from checked evidence. It never invents citations.

The chain

MatchVahti-Lite (browser)     MatchVahti (app)
  tap citable sentence          blinded claim×paper loop
  [oo] closer-look flag         MatchResult in .citevahti/
  export .ris → Zotero          full-text claim checking
        ↓                               ↓
        └─────────────┬─────────────────┘
                      ↓
            CiteVahti (.citevahti/ ledger)
              claim checked → [oo] accepted → Zotero
                      ↓
            AI drafts prose from checked claims only
              human reviews → accepts / edits / rejects
                      ↓
            Manuscript with auditable citation trail

Triggers

Use when:

  • "Write a paragraph about X, I've checked the references"
  • "Draft the discussion based on what I found in MatchVahti"
  • "I marked [needs citation] — find and check, then draft"
  • "Expand this sentence with the evidence I cited"
  • [oo] / cite:closer-look tags in Zotero mentioned
  • Manuscript has [REF] / <!-- cite: --> / (XXX et al.) slots

Do NOT use: before researcher has reviewed evidence, to invent citations, to bypass the human decision step.

Workflow

Before drafting — establish evidence state:

Researcher comes from What to check Ready when
MatchVahti-Lite Zotero has cite:abstract-only items Human has reviewed .ris import
MatchVahti (app) .citevahti/ ledger has MatchResult Claim is [oo] or [o]
Neither Run citevahti-dev first, return here

Never draft from [r] review, [d] rejected, or unchecked claims.

Map citation slots → check ledger → draft → human review → insert citekeys.

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.
