What it does
Documenting With Sources is an agent skill from mathbullet/skills. Common conventions for writing Markdown documents that cite external sources (survey reports, paper explainers, and any deliverable that surfaces facts from outside). Defines mandatory citation, in-text reference format, quotation-versus-prose separation, the ban on fabricated associations, and the source-list format. Referenced by survey, paper-details, and any skill that produces sourced output.
Its SKILL.md is about 780 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 Literature review and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: mathbullet Agent Skills. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ab997f. 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
Documenting With Sources loads about 781 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 386 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Common conventions for writing Markdown documents that cite external sources (survey reports, paper explainers, and any deliverable that surfaces facts from outside). Defines mandatory citation, in-text reference format, quotation-versus-prose separation, the ban on fabricated associations, and the source-list format. Referenced by survey, paper-details, and any skill that produces sourced output.
Documenting with Sources
Common conventions for writing Markdown documents that pull from outside sources. Apply to any deliverable that surfaces facts taken from elsewhere — survey reports, paper explainers, and similar.
Cite every factual claim
Every factual claim in the deliverable must carry a citation. A claim with no citation cannot be verified, and is worthless as a documented finding. If a claim cannot be tied to a source, mark it explicitly (e.g. "citation not confirmed"). Do not slip uncited claims in silently.
Reference format
- In-text references take the shape
[label (YYYY/MM), location]. How to fill thelabelslot (publication name, author short-form, position-only for the paper under review, etc.) is decided by the calling skill. - Do not use bare numeric references such as
[1]or[2]. Numbers alone force the reader to bounce between text and source list; readability drops. - For the formatting of quotation blocks themselves (code-block fencing, original-and-translation pairing, where to place the source reference, anti-patterns), follow the
writing-quotationskill. Readwriting-quotationbefore drafting.
Quotation vs prose
- Keep quotations and prose (the writer's own summary or interpretation) visually and structurally separate. Even when not quoting, write in a way that prevents the source's claim and the writer's interpretation from blending.
- When quoting a source written in a language other than the writer's working language, place the translation alongside the original inside the same code block (see
writing-quotation).
Show full SKILL.md (157 more words)Show less
No fabricated associations or interpretations
Do not write interpretations, speculation, or associations that the source itself does not contain.
- Do not invent connections such as "this relates to X", "this could be applied to Y", or "this suggests Z" when the source does not say so.
- Do not import context from the surrounding conversation or the calling project into the body of the document. Descriptions of a source must stay within the source's own content.
- Good: "Main criticism: even with flipped labels, accuracy does not always drop, and the text-gradient is mathematically distinct from classical gradient descent" (states what the source actually says).
- Bad: "Relation to AI writing improvement: feedback-based improvement is mathematically different from gradient descent..." (the source does not say this; the connection is fabricated from conversation context).
Source-list format
The source list at the end of the document uses this format:
[label, YYYY/MM] Author. "Title." Publication. URL
Do not use the - [n] list format.
