What it does

研究 repo の引用 3 層 (docs 実引用 → .zenodo.json references → graph.jsonld ExternalReference) を監査し、下層から順に同期する orchestrator。旧層 4 (Wikidata P2860) は 2026-07 の governance revocation により恒久 retire (authorship-strategy ADR-0021) — 同期対象にしない。Use when the user says 「参考文献が少ない/足りない」「引用がずれてる」「citation を同期して」「引用文献を graph に反映して」, when new external papers were cited in ADR/glossary/empirical docs, or before a release of a DOI-registered repo.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

11研究 repo が外部文献を引用するとき、その引用は 3 つの層に現れる。層はそれぞれ別の audience に向けて伝播するため、**どれか 1 つに書いて終えると残りの層では引用が存在しないことになる**。本 skill はこの 3 層の divergence を検出し、下層から順に揃える。
12
13| 層 | 担体 | 伝播先 | 実装 skill |
14|---|---|---|---|
15| 1. docs | ADR / glossary / empirical / README 内の引用 | 人間 + LLM crawler | (執筆時に発生) |
16| 2. zenodo | .zenodo.json related_identifiers (relation: references) | DataCite → OpenAIRE / Scholix (次 release 時) | release-doi |
17| 3. graph | graph.jsonld の ExternalReference ノード | LLM ingest / HF mirror / knowledge-graph crawler | jsonld-knowledge-graph |
18| ~~4. wikidata~~ | ~~repo item の P2860 (cites work)~~ | **RETIRED 2026-07** — governance revocation で全 item 削除 (ADR-0021)。監査・同期対象外、--skip-wikidata を常用 | (retired) |

20**docs 層が source of truth**。上の層は docs に実在する引用だけを carry する (捏造辺の禁止)。逆に docs に引用を足したら、上 3 層への反映はこの skill の同期で行う — 「repo markdown に引用を書くだけでは citation graph に不可視」というのが authorship-strategy の citation-graph federation tactic の出発点。

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈200
always loaded
The name and description, so the model knows the skill exists and when to reach for it.
2,975
on trigger
The instruction body and 6 supporting files, read only when the skill fires.
1.6%
of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 16% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

3.2k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Middling. Fine to keep on in a project where you use it weekly, worth unloading in one where you never do.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

7 files, 32.2 kB on disk. Mostly text — the instructions the model reads — with 4 scripts in it that your client would run only if the instructions tell it to. 1 file of its source is not in the download — listed after these, with why.

  • SKILL.md9.6 kB
  • pyproject.toml1.6 kB
  • evals/evals.json1.5 kB
  • scripts/__init__.py0.1 kB
  • scripts/citation_audit.py13.5 kB
  • tests/__init__.py0.1 kB
  • tests/test_citation_audit.py5.8 kB

Not in the download

Not carried is a type a skill download does not hold. Take it from its source.

  • uv.locknot carried
What is not in it

A skill installs nothing and depends on nothing: it is a folder your client reads. This one carries 4 scripts beside the text, so the download is 7 files — not the whole of its source: 1 file is left out. It is listed under the files, with why. The MIT licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Citation Sync · 3.2k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/citation-sync/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/citation-sync" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/citation-sync ] || { mv .claude/skills/citation-sync "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/citation-sync" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/citation-sync"
On Windows, or any OS with Node 20+
npx mcprush@latest skill add shimo4228/citation-sync

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/citation-sync/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/citation-sync/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/citation-sync" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/citation-sync ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/citation-sync "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/citation-sync" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/citation-sync" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/citation-sync/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where. Not in this download: 1 file of its source (which one, and why). Take it from its source.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

Its author publishes no version number, so there is nothing here to pin to: what you install is the folder as it stands today. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

Pinning

Nothing to pin to: this skill carries no version number of its own. What you install is what the folder holds on the day you install it.
