What problem does it solve? Research documents lose credibility when claims cannot be traced to sources: tabs get closed before saving, citations are added as an afterthought, links rot, and inferences get formatted as direct citations. This Skill establishes the workflow that keeps every claim traceable to its source. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Capture at Encounter: Record every source the moment it enters your thinking with locator, accessed date, author, and a why-kept note, using a reference manager or a lightweight sources.md file. - Claim-to-Source Binding: Attach inline citation keys to factual claims as they are written, at page/section/timestamp resolution, distinguishing direct support from inference. - Link Rot Defense and Pre-Ship Audit: Archive load-bearing web sources, prefer DOIs and stable locators, and run a final audit that catches unsourced claims, citation drift, and dead links. - Use Case: A build-vs-buy memo headed to executive review is drafted with 31 captured sources and inline [s7]-style keys; the pre-ship audit catches two unsourced claims and one drifted citation, and an archived pricing page later becomes evidence in contract negotiation. ## Quick Start Set up a citation workflow for my research memo so every claim is traceable to its source and links are archived against rot.
