Citation Sourcing

Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods  ·  Last updated:
Source tier definitions, citation formatting, verification patterns, and hallucination prevention. Load when writing content that requires external evidence, statistics, or expert claims. Covers what sources to use, how to cite them, and what to avoid.

From the source SKILL.md

Every statistic needs a named source. Every claim needs evidence or an explicit opinion label. Content backed by named research gets cited; content backed by "studies show" does not.

What this skill does

Citation Sourcing is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/citation-sourcing/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Citation Sourcing Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
