SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enforces source integrity by preventing publication of drafts with unverified claims. It requires verifiable sources for every factual statement and flags any '(source needed)' markers to prevent incomplete work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inline linking enforcement: Replaces bare claims with inline source links or citations.
  • Quote verification: Ensures quoted material exists verbatim in sources and is properly attributed.
  • Source accessibility checks: Verifies that links resolve to accessible content (200 OK).
  • Workflow gating: Pauses publishing until all claims are source-backed and sources are validated.
  • Use Case: A marketing memo must include sources for every statistic and be free of '(source needed)' markers before publication.

Quick Start

Use this skill during content drafting workflows to automatically detect missing sources, verify inline links, and reject drafts containing '(source needed)' markers.

Frequently Asked Questions about citation-compliance

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify inline source links and ensure claims have verifiable citations before publishing?

To verify inline source links, this skill checks that every factual claim is backed by a citation, requires links to resolve to accessible content with a 200 OK status, and ensures quotes match the source verbatim before allowing publication.

What is the best way to block content publication if drafts still contain '(source needed)' markers?

Blocking publication of drafts with '(source needed)' markers is handled by workflow gating, which pauses the publishing process and flags these markers for remediation until all claims are properly source-backed.

Can I use this citation compliance check during the content drafting and review phases?

Yes, citation compliance checks apply across drafting, review, and publication workflows to automatically detect missing sources, validate inline links, and reject incomplete drafts containing unverified claims.

How does quote verification work for factual claims in marketing memos or articles?

Quote verification works by checking that quoted material exists verbatim in the cited sources, ensuring proper attribution and confirming that the source links resolve to accessible content before the draft is approved.

What happens if a source link does not return a 200 OK status during source accessibility checks?

During source accessibility checks, if a source link does not return a 200 OK status, the draft is flagged for remediation and workflow gating prevents publication until the inaccessible links are fixed.

Do I need any specific dependencies or components to enforce source attribution in my content?

No specific dependencies or components are required to enforce source attribution; the skill operates directly within your content workflows to replace bare claims with inline links and validate source accessibility.
