smart-sourcing skillA
smart-sourcing is agent-read markdown (skill) from athola/claude-night-market: Selects optimal sources for tool calls, balancing accuracy with token cost. Use before research tasks or when deciding whether a claim needs verification..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Smart Sourcing Intelligent sourcing that requires citations only when the cost is justified by the value of verification. ## Philosophy **Full sourcing is prohibitively expensive** (10-16x token increase). Smart sourcing targets high-value claims where verification materially improves accuracy. ## When to Source ### REQUIRE Sources | Claim Type | Example | Why Source | |------------|---------|------------| | **Version numbers** | "Python 3.12 added..." | Versions change, easy to verify | | **Performance claims** | "30% faster than..." | Quantitative claims need evidence | | **Security recommendations** | "Use bcrypt for..." | Security advice must be current | | **API specifications** | "The function accepts..." | APIs change between versions | | **Release dates** | "Released in Q4 2025" | Factual, verifiable | | **Pricing/limits** | "Free tier allows 1000 requests" | Business terms change | | **Deprecated features** | "X was removed in version Y" | Breaking changes need verification | ### DO NOT Require Sources | Claim Type | Example | Why No Source | |------------|---------|---------------| | **General concepts** | "Async improves concurrency" | Foundational knowledge | …

How to install
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/smart-sourcing@git:20260622.c7c8f6fmdr add athola/claude-night-market/smart-sourcing@sha256:10d9db322dafc37bPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
