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
# Citation Hygiene Skill Business documents run on unsourced confidence: "studies show," "industry-standard," the market-size number nobody can trace, the chart with no as-of date. Each unsourced load-bearing claim is a small loan against credibility — called in the moment a skeptic asks "says who?" in front of the room. Citation hygiene is not academia: it's the practical discipline that every claim someone might *challenge or act on* carries its source, the link actually contains the claim (the classic drive-by cite doesn't), numbers wear their dates, and claims that can't be sourced get softened or cut *before* the meeting does it for you. ## What This Skill Produces - **The claim audit** — the doc's load-bearing claims listed, each: sourced / sourceable / soften / cut - **The fixes** — sources attached (verified to contain the claim — the [source-triangulation](../source-triangulation/SKILL.md) quick check), softenings drafted, the cut list - **The venue format** — how citations look here: footnotes for memos, the source line for slides, links for docs - **The norm card** — the team's three citation rules, postable ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: …

How to install
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/citation-hygiene@sha256:05b752a52bbfb422The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.8f98b70, 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.
