light-citation
Verify scholarly references and claim-citation support for Light stage 10. Use when auditing a manuscript, claim map, bibliography, DOI/arXiv/PMID/ISBN/URL, BibTeX/CSL, citekeys, chimeric or fabricated citations, retraction/correction alerts, or preparing a canonical citation registry for typesetting. Builds provenance-preserving inventories, confirms metadata with independent authoritative sources, distinguishes CONFIRMED/CONFIRMED-MISSING/UNAVAILABLE/UNRESOLVED, records Crossref update direction, and emits the citation gate plus delivery artifacts.
npx skills add Light0305/Light-skills --skill light-citation --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Citation — stage 10 Make every author-used reference traceable, real, correctly identified, and honestly connected to the claim it is supposed to support. Treat formatting, metadata existence, publication-integrity facts, and semantic support as four different questions. Read [`citation-resource-map.md`](citation-resource-map.md) before a full manuscript audit. Read [`references/registry_contract.md`](references/registry_contract.md) before producing or consuming the canonical registry. Read [`references/locator_audit.md`](references/locator_audit.md) before judging claim support. ## Stage contract - Consume paper-writing's `light.paper_claims.v1`, exact claim/source locators, current claim text hashes, reviewer-bound citation-support hashes, manuscript, figures/tables, supplement, and reference candidates. - Reuse literature-search provenance as input evidence; independently verify the references the author actually keeps. - Emit `light.citation_registry.v1`, BibTeX, CSL JSON, source-level evidence, failure records, claim-edge review, citekey audit, and `light.findings.v1(producer=citation)`. - Keep stage 10's only critical gate `citation_verify`: confirmed missing works and chi

What does the light-citation skill do?
Verify scholarly references and claim-citation support for Light stage 10. Use when auditing a manuscript, claim map, bibliography, DOI/arXiv/PMID/ISBN/URL, BibTeX/CSL, citekeys, chimeric or fabricated citations, retraction/correction alerts, or preparing a canonical citation registry for typesetting. Builds provenance-preserving inventories, confirms metadata with independent authoritative sources, distinguishes CONFIRMED/CONFIRMED-MISSING/UNAVAILABLE/UNRESOLVED, records Crossref update direction, and emits the citation gate plus delivery artifacts.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Light0305/Light-skills --skill light-citation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Light0305/Light-skills, a repository with 505 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
