About this skill
Accuracy for Academic Excellence
The Academic Citation Formatter is a precision tool designed for researchers, students, and academic writers who need to move beyond generic AI "best guesses" to achieve submission-grade referencing. It solves the common problem of AI hallucinating page numbers, mangling DOI structures, or incorrectly applying style rules across different academic disciplines.
What it does
This skill provides a rigorous framework for drafting, auditing, and correcting academic citations. It works by validating provided source information against strict pedagogical standards, ensuring that every in-text citation has a corresponding reference entry and that block quotes are formatted with mathematical precision.
- Style Mastery: Defaults to APA 7th Edition, with specialized support for IEEE (Engineering/Tech) and AGLC (Legal) when contextually required.
- Quality Gates: Built-in checklists verify author-date correspondence, alphabetical ordering, and disambiguation of same-year sources.
- Handling Missing Data: Instead of inventing details, it applies formal "missing information" protocols or flags gaps for manual review.
- Quote Formatting: Automatically distinguishes between integrated and block quotations based on word count.
Why use this skill?
Standard LLMs often struggle with the nuances of citation—such as when to use "et al." versus listing all authors, or how to format a paragraph locator for a webpage. This skill enforces a structured logic that mirrors the exact requirements of university unit outlines and journal submission guides, significantly reducing the risk of academic integrity flags.

Creator
I design and publish skills built from real professional practice across three areas: cyber security consulting, business operations, and AI workflow engineering. My cyber security skills draw on active advisory work spanning governance, risk, compliance, assurance, and executive reporting. They are built for practitioners who need structured, defensible outputs - not generic templates. My business operations skills cover the day-to-day work of running a consulting practice: bookkeeping, financial tracking, expense reconciliation, and marketing content - designed to reduce repetitive overhead and keep outputs consistent. My AI platform and workflow skills are built for people who want to get more out of Claude and similar platforms - covering prompt engineering, skill architecture, automation pipelines, and agent enhancement. Every skill I publish has been tested in production use before it reaches the marketplace. If it is here, it works.
