Enrich Citations

This skill enhances markdown documents by finding and adding authoritative source links for all mentioned facts, citations, tools, products, research, and references.

Key Principles

• Find authoritative sources: Search for the original, most credible source for each reference
• Verify accuracy: Ensure links point to the correct, current information
• Preserve content: Only add hyperlinks, don't change the document's text or meaning
• Proper formatting: Use markdown hyperlink syntax with spaces for proper rendering

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• Add citations to a document
• Find sources for mentioned references
• Add hyperlinks to external resources
• Verify and link fact sources
• Enrich a document with authoritative links

Processing Instructions

Step 1: Identify References

Read through the entire markdown document and identify all mentions of:

1. External sources and research:

   • Academic papers, studies, reports
   • Books, articles, blog posts
   • Research findings or statistics

2. Tools and software:

   • Applications, frameworks, libraries
   • Programming languages, platforms
   • Development tools, services

3. Products and services:

   • Commercial products
   • SaaS platforms
   • Hardware or software products

4. Organizations and institutions:

   • Companies, universities
   • Standards bodies, foundations
   • Government agencies

5. Technical concepts and standards:

   • Specifications (RFC, W3C, etc.)
   • APIs, protocols
   • Industry standards

6. People and experts:

   • Authors, researchers
   • Industry leaders
   • Subject matter experts

Step 2: Web Search for Sources

For each identified reference:

1. Search for the authoritative source:

   • Use web search to find the official or most credible source
   • Prioritize: official websites > documentation > reputable publications
   • For academic references: search for DOI, arXiv, official publication

2. Verify the source:

   • Ensure the URL is current and accessible
   • Check that content matches the reference
   • Confirm it's the most authoritative source available

3. Select the best link:

   • Official documentation or homepage for tools/products
   • Original publication for research/articles
   • Wikipedia for general concepts (if no better source exists)
   • GitHub repository for open source projects

Step 3: Add Hyperlinks

Replace plain text references with markdown hyperlinks:

Format: [Reference Text](URL)

Critical formatting requirements:

• Add spaces around hyperlinks: text [link](url) text (not text[link](url)text)
• Use descriptive link text (the actual reference name, not "click here")
• Maintain the original sentence structure
• Preserve all other content unchanged

Step 4: Quality Assurance

Before finalizing:

1. Verify all links:

   • Test that URLs are valid and accessible
   • Check for broken links or redirects
   • Ensure HTTPS when available

2. Check formatting:

   • Confirm spaces around hyperlinks
   • Verify markdown syntax is correct
   • Ensure links render properly

3. Review accuracy:

   • Links point to correct resources
   • No duplicate or conflicting sources
   • All identified references are addressed

Important Constraints

• NEVER change the document content: Only add hyperlinks to existing text
• NEVER add new information: Don't insert citations not mentioned in the original
• NEVER remove existing content: Preserve all original text
• NEVER summarize or paraphrase: Keep exact wording
• DO add spaces around hyperlinks: Essential for proper rendering
• DO verify all sources: Ensure accuracy and accessibility

Output Format

Return the enhanced markdown document with:

• All appropriate references converted to hyperlinks
• Proper spacing around all links
• Original content and structure preserved
• All links verified and working

Source Priority Guidelines

When multiple sources exist, prioritize in this order:

1. Official sources: Project homepages, official documentation
2. Primary sources: Original research papers, first publications
3. Authoritative organizations: Standards bodies, academic institutions
4. Reputable publications: Well-known tech blogs, news sites
5. Community resources: GitHub, Stack Overflow (for code/tools)
6. General references: Wikipedia, encyclopedias (as last resort)

Language Support

This skill works with documents in any language:

• Respect the document's primary language
• Use appropriate sources for the language/region
• Maintain original text while adding hyperlinks
• For multilingual documents, find sources matching each language section when appropriate
