Make authored content survive the two selection surfaces it now faces: human engagement and LLM retrieval for citation. These partially anti-correlate, and the tactics that raise reactions are in two measured cases the ones that suppress citation. Encodes effect sizes from published causal studies (Scrunch, 12,000 ChatGPT observations via double machine learning; Semrush, 325,000 prompts over 89,000 cited URLs) rather than folklore, and ships a linter that enforces the mechanical half.

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
# citable Your content is now selected by two different systems with two different objectives, and most advice about "what performs" describes only the first. **Surface one — engagement.** Humans scrolling, plus the feed model deciding what to show them. Rewards hooks, rhythm, story, a CTA. **Surface two — citation.** An LLM retriever deciding whether your text is worth quoting in an answer to someone's question. Rewards specificity, named things, and self-containment. The measured result that reorganises everything else: **engagement does not drive citation.** Holding content constant, a post with 100 reactions is cited at essentially the same rate as one with 10,000, and accounts under 500 followers are cited as often or more than large ones. Citation selects on content. Which means a small account with real technical depth competes directly with a large one, on the surface that increasingly decides what buyers believe. ## The effects Every number below traces to a study, not to taste.

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/citable@sha256:a2474db872f2a4e1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
