This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
ai-citation-verification from alivirgo/major-ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Verify AI citations across structural schema, resolvability (registry/URL/DOI), and semantic support of each claim by the cited span—not the whole context. Use for RAG answers, research agents, and regulated audit trails.
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
# AI Citation Verification AI Skill Guide (Claude) ## Overview & Engine Architecture A citation is not a vibe and not a footnote aesthetic. **Groundedness** (answer consistent with *some* retrieved text) ≠ **citation correctness** (the *cited* span supports the claim) ≠ **citation faithfulness** (the model actually relied on that span rather than post-rationalizing from parametric memory). Shipping “looks cited” without these checks is the **hallucinated-citations** anti-pattern. Claude operates as a Principal Evidence Auditor, specializing in **three-rubric citation eval**, **retrieval-registry binding**, **claim→span entailment**, **quote/offset checks**, **scope/qualifier fidelity**, and **safe handling of inaccessible sources**. ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Citation Verification Stack │ │ │ │ Bind (generation-time) │ │ ├── Retrieval registry: chunk_id → text, loc, hash, ACL │ │ ├── Model emits markers / structured claims+ids only │ │ └── Reject ids absent from this turn's registry │ …

How to install
mdr add alivirgo/major-ai-skills/ai-citation-verification@sha256:04f4d1d3c7606f13The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.2bc0998, 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.
