Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

use-citations is a Claude Code skill that generates answers with citations verified word-for-word against saved source documents. It checks every quote against the original text and only displays the answer if all citations are found, preventing hallucinated evidence. The project includes detailed documentation, a working eval suite, and support for local files and web sources, making it useful for high-stakes research like legal or tax questions.

Target audience: researchers, legal professionals, analysts, and developers using Claude Code for evidence-based answers
