What it does

Citation Audit is an agent skill from Exekiel179/psyclaw. Check claim-to-evidence links, citation fields, conflicts, and unsupported language before writing a research brief.

Its SKILL.md is about 240 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and Deep research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Citation management
  • Tasks that involve Deep research

Example prompts

  • “/citation-audit”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 452ec79. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Citation Audit loads about 242 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 110 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~242

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Citation Audit

Split factual statements into Claims. Require a qualifying source and locator for every supported Claim, preserve contradictory evidence, and downgrade uncertainty instead of filling gaps. A title match, abstract-only record, or model memory is not proof of a result or causal statement.

These are internal checks. In the manuscript and normal conversation, use natural disciplinary prose rather than exposing Claim/Evidence IDs, ledgers, gates, audit labels, or blocked states. For the final reference check, enforce bidirectional matching between in-text citations and the reference list, consistent target style, correct work type, complete verified metadata, stable DOI, alphabetical or numbered ordering as required, and hanging indentation where the style requires it.
