A skill for checking and correcting citations in research or note pages, including references to posts that are missing their actual URLs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan pages, fix citation formatting, add verified links to posts, and report how many citations were checked or repaired.
Why use it?
It helps find unsupported facts, incorrectly formatted citations, missing dates or source types, and broken post references across many pages.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high System Prompt Leakage · line 30
    Skill contains instructions that could directly expose system prompts, internal rules, or hidden instructions to users or external parties.
    Fix: Remove any instructions that reveal, print, or output system prompts or internal rules. System instructions should never be exposed to end users.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 177
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 212 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 (via get_skill conventions/quality) for the canonical citation format every fix should match.

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

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.
  • Tweet / post references without URLs are resolved via the agent's web search tooling and patched with deterministic https://x.com/<handle>/status/<id> links.
  • Results reported with counts (scanned, fixed, remaining).

Phases

  1. Scan pages. page_list the brain and read each page (page_get), checking for inline [Source: ...] citations.
  2. Identify issues:
    • Facts without any citation
    • Citations missing date
    • Citations missing source type
    • Citations with wrong format
    • Tweet references without x.com URLs
  3. Fix format issues. Rewrite malformed citations to match conventions/quality.md, writing the corrected page back with page_put.
  4. Resolve tweet references via the agent's web search tooling.
  5. Report results. Count: pages scanned, citations found, issues fixed, tweets resolved, remaining gaps.

Tweet resolution pipeline

For each broken tweet reference, follow this chain. The lookup goes through whatever web search / X lookup tooling the host agent has — never through invented URLs.

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

Changes

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.
