Back factual claims and field values with official, verifiable sources. Use when the user asks to fill fields, answer questions, or make claims that must be supported by an exact quote and an official link.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
The user wants every field value or factual claim you produce in the current response to be backed by an official, verifiable source. Apply this skill to the response that triggered it; do not assume it stays active for the rest of the conversation unless the user clearly asks for it to. ## Output format For each field or claim, respond with exactly these four labeled lines: - **Field**: the field name (or a short description of the claim) - **Value**: the value you are assigning (or the claim itself) - **Quote**: the exact verbatim text from the source that supports the value - **Source**: the official URL where the quote can be found When there are multiple fields, repeat the block once per field. Keep blocks separated by a blank line. ## Source selection rules 1. Prefer primary sources, in this order: - Official product / project documentation - Standards documents (RFCs, W3C specs, ISO standards) - Official API references - Source code in the project's own repository 2. Accept secondary sources (blog posts, Stack Overflow, forum threads, news articles, third-party tutorials) only as a last resort, and clearly label them as such in **Source**. …

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/evidence-based-citations@sha256:ebd2645e8e365121The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260603.899fdaf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
