What Citation does

Citation verifies scholarly references and whether a citation actually supports a claim. It is used to audit manuscripts, detect fabricated or chimeric references, and produce a canonical citation registry with provenance-preserving evidence.

Citation is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Citation comes from a repository tagged academic-writing, agent-skills, ai-agent, ai-skills and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Citation — stage 10

Make every author-used reference traceable, real, correctly identified, and honestly connected to the claim it is supposed to support. Treat formatting, metadata existence, publication-integrity facts, and semantic support as four different questions.

Read citation-resource-map.md before a full manuscript audit. Read references/registry_contract.md before producing or consuming the canonical registry. Read references/locator_audit.md before judging claim support.
