Before any completion claim on a change that touches a document containing external-source citations (verbatim quotes, paraphrased synthesis, or framework references with article / section / clause locators), verify each citation's text against the cited source at the cited location. Catches the failure mode where a confidently-cited quote does not actually appear in the source, or a paraphrase mis-represents the source's meaning. Catches what the mechanical citation linters…
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 Quote Verification ## Overview A citation has three properties a reader will rely on: format (is it well-formed and resolvable), currency (is the source still the current version), and correspondence (does the quoted or paraphrased text actually appear at the cited location and faithfully represent the source). The mechanical citation linters (a citation-format linter for framework identifiers; a standards-currency linter for version recency) check the first two. They do not check the third. This skill closes that gap. Before any completion claim on a change that touches citation-bearing content, each citation in the modified region is verified by reading the source, locating the cited passage, and confirming the document's text matches. The failure mode this skill targets is the most-cited-but-least-checked: a confidently-asserted quote that does not appear in the cited source, or a paraphrase whose meaning has drifted from what the source actually says. Mechanical linters cannot catch this because correspondence is a semantic check, not a format check. ## When to Use …

How to install
mdr add jposluns/grc_library/citation-quote-verification@sha256:721750369a64e990The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.50c809a, 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.
