### Source Citation Skill TYPE: SKILL ### Source Citation Skill TYPE: SKILL PURPOSE: Encode a reusable professional method for source citation. WHEN TO USE: When the task explicitly requires source citation or this capability is a necessary step in a larger workflow. WHEN NOT TO USE: When unrelated, when a materially better specialized Skill applies, or when required evidence is unavailable. REQUIRED INPUTS: Objective; source material/context; constraints; required output. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Confirm the actual objective from supplied context without unnecessary questions. 2. Identify only material relevant to source citation. 3. Execute the named task systematically and within scope. 4. Preserve supplied facts and label assumptions/uncertainty. 5. Produce concrete usable output, not generic commentary. 6. Self-check for omissions, contradictions, unsupported claims and constraint violations. RULES: Never fabricate evidence, metrics, citations, functionality, execution, or completion. Do not silently alter user facts. QUALITY BAR: A competent professional should be able to use the output immediately without reconstructing the method. OUTPUT CONTRACT: Result; evidence/reasoning basis where relevant; assumptions/unknowns; risks/exceptions; next action. FAILURE HANDLING: If evidence is insufficient, return the strongest supported partial result and identify only missing information that materially blocks completion. EXAMPLE INVOCATION: Use the Source Citation Skill on [material] and return the result using this Skill's output contract. RELATED USE: May be composed with compatible Kimi, MCP or AgentSwarm workflows only where those capabilities are actually available in BSV. TASK-SPECIFIC METHOD FOR “Source Citation Skill”: 1. Define done: what artifact proves source citation succeeded. 2. Collect only inputs required for source citation; ignore unrelated context. 3. Execute source citation in a checklist pass: prepare → analyze → draft → self-check. 4. Emit the concrete artifact expected for source citation (not generic advice). 5. List blockers/unknowns that would change the result. FREE: YES PRIMARY ACTION: COPY / USE
