llm-citation-monitor is a skill for Codex from sergekostenchuk/ui-ux-agent-skill-system. It costs 84 tokens per session (827 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of llm-citation-monitor, Apache-2.0.

A skill for planning and recording checks of whether AI assistants and AI-search products cite a website. A citation is a link or source mentioned in an answer, and the checks include queries, dates, locations, screenshots, transcripts, and caveats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing brand, topic, comparison, problem, and how-to questions across approved assistant or search surfaces, then recording cited URLs and observations.
Why use it?
It creates consistent evidence about when and where a site is cited instead of relying on unrecorded spot checks or unsupported visibility claims.

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

llm-citation-monitor 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.

LLM Citation Monitor

Use this skill after the target site's SEO/LLM discovery layer exists and the user wants to measure assistant/search citation visibility.

Read references/citation-evidence-policy.md before producing a monitoring plan or report.

Owns

  • target question matrix;
  • manual observation workflow;
  • citation report template;
  • assistant/search surface evidence policy;
  • competitor citation capture;
  • caveats for personalization, locale, freshness, and account state;
  • refusal of unsupported citation claims.

Does Not Own

  • assistant account credentials;
  • bypassing bot protections;
  • scraping assistant/search surfaces without approval;
  • changing robots, WAF, auth, or crawler policy;
  • ranking claims;
  • content/schema implementation.

Workflow

  1. Define target site, page set, audience, locale, and target questions.
  2. Classify query intent: brand, topic, problem, comparison, how-to, or citation-check.
  3. Choose approved observation mode: manual, exported transcript, screenshot, API/tool report, or public fetch.
  4. For each run, record surface, model/search product if visible, date/time, locale, account state, query text, answer summary, cited URLs, quote/snippet, and caveats.
  5. Capture competitor citations separately from target citations.
  6. Mark missing citations as not observed, not as "does not cite anywhere".
  7. Produce a report using assets/citation-report.template.md.
  8. Hand off site-content or technical fixes to SEO/LLM architecture skills.

Non-Negotiables

  • Do not claim "ChatGPT cites us" without direct citation evidence.
  • Do not treat one personalized answer as universal ranking.
  • Do not store assistant credentials, cookies, account tokens, or private conversation data in skill files.
  • Do not bypass paywalls, auth, robots, WAF, or tool restrictions.
  • Do not scrape surfaces against terms of service.
  • Do not publish screenshots/transcripts containing private user data.

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.
