Show HN: use-citations – Claude Code skill for citation backed answers (github.com)

A new skill for Claude Code, named "use-citations," has been introduced, allowing users to ask research questions and receive citation-backed answers. This tool verifies each response against a saved copy of its sources, whether from government websites or user-uploaded files. By doing so, it enhances the reliability of answers, making it particularly valuable for legal, financial, and academic inquiries where accuracy is crucial. The system provides clear links between answers and the original texts, ensuring that users can trace the information back to its source. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it addresses a common limitation of AI models—verifying the authenticity of information. By incorporating effective source-checking mechanisms, the "use-citations" skill not only bolsters user trust but also promotes responsible use of AI in domains requiring precise information. With its ease of installation and integration into existing Claude Code workflows, the skill sets a new standard for AI-driven research tools, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in AI-generated content.
