auditing-citations

auditing-citations is a skill for Claude Code from icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,314 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-checking workflow for citations, quotations, page numbers, and bibliography details in a manuscript. It checks both whether a source is described accurately and whether it actually supports the attached claim.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review manuscripts, notes, bibliographies, citation exports, quotations, and source files against the original sources or authoritative catalogue records.
Why use it?
It helps catch incorrect publication details, inaccurate quotations, and claims that their sources do not support. It also records what was checked and what could not be confirmed.

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

auditing-citations 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 8d 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.

Auditing Citations

Purpose

Audit the evidentiary chain between a manuscript and its sources. This skill does not beautify a bibliography or infer missing publication details. It creates a traceable record showing what was checked, against which source, with what result, and what remains unresolved.

Citation accuracy has at least two distinct dimensions. Bibliographic verification asks whether the cited object exists and whether author, title, date, edition, journal, volume, issue, pages, DOI, archival identifier, and translator information are accurate. Claim–source verification asks whether the cited passage actually supports the sentence, interpretation, historical statement, or quotation to which it is attached. A record can pass the first test and fail the second.

Contract

Accepts a manuscript, notes, bibliography, citation export, quotation list, source files, authoritative catalogue records, or a prior CitationRecord set.

Requires the text containing the citations and enough source access to distinguish checked items from inaccessible ones. Direct quotations require the exact edition or a clearly identified equivalent edition.

Produces normalized CitationRecord objects, an itemized audit table, discrepancy notes, submission-blocking issues, and a citation gate report.

May produce a corrected bibliography proposal, a source-access request list, duplicate-record map, or a list of claims that need weaker wording or different evidence.

Fails when the cited source cannot be identified, a quotation cannot be located, an edition or pagination conflict prevents reliable matching, or the requester asks the agent to invent or conceal missing details.

Guarantees that every audited item receives an explicit status and that inaccessible or mismatched items are not silently represented as verified.

Does not guarantee that inaccessible sources are accurate, that the bibliography is exhaustive, that a verified source makes the manuscript's interpretation correct, or that a journal will accept the citation style.

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.

auditing-citations is a skill published in the GitHub repository icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers (16 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,314 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
