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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00111 | $0.01387 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.00694 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00277 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00139 |
Grade A, and why
Citation Tracker 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 10d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to Citation Tracker — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Citation Tracker
Ensure every citation is accurate, complete, and correctly formatted for the requested style. Accuracy comes before formatting - a beautifully formatted wrong citation is still wrong, and the costly failure this skill prevents is the fabricated or unverifiable reference that survives to publication and detonates the author's credibility on contact with one curious reader.
Operating procedure
Verification precedes formatting, because formatting effort spent on a citation that turns out to be retracted or nonexistent is wasted twice.
Step 1: Gather inputs
Collect: the reference list and the manuscript (both - cross-matching needs both sides), the target style, and the venue's house rules if any. If the style is unstated, ask: APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago (notes-bibliography or author-date), or IEEE. Never mix styles in one document, and for Chicago, pin down which variant before touching anything.
Step 2: Inventory the required elements
For each source identify: author(s), year/date, title, container (journal/book/site), volume/issue, pages, publisher, DOI/URL, and access date where the style requires it. A missing element is a flag to report, never something to invent or approximate.
Step 3: Verify before formatting
- Check that each DOI resolves and lands on the cited title - a resolving DOI attached to the wrong paper is the most common fabrication signature.
- Confirm author names and publication year against the source itself, not against another paper's citation of it (citation errors propagate through copying).
- Check retraction status; a retracted source can only be cited as retracted, with that status stated in the text.
- Flag suspected predatory-journal sources - no credible indexing, hijacked titles, implausible turnaround - for the author's judgment.
- Cross-match: every in-text citation has a reference-list entry and every entry is cited in the text. Orphans on either side are findings.
Step 4: Tier the sources by evidence quality
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.

Citation Tracker is a skill published in the GitHub repository SkillMedev/academic-researcher (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 1,387 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to Citation Tracker, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
