# Citation-worthy content ## TL;DR A paragraph an LLM lifts has all five of these. Miss one and it degrades; miss three and it is invisible. | # | Element | Test | |---|---|---| | 1 | **Entity named explicitly** | No pronouns, no "the product". Could this sentence survive alone? | | 2 | **One definitive claim** | Not "may help". Stated | | 3 | **A number, date or proof** | Something quotable | | 4 | **Attributed source, inline** | Not a reference list at the bottom | | 5 | **Standalone readability** | No "as mentioned above" | **Length:** 3 to 5 sentences, 40 to 80 words. Long enough to carry evidence, short enough to lift whole. ## Before starting 1. **Load [`CONTEXT.md`](../../CONTEXT.md).** 2. **Confirm the gap is content.** If the entity is unresolvable, rewriting is wasted effort. Route to `sl-entity-infrastructure`. 3. **Establish YMYL status.** Health, finance and legal content is held to a higher evidentiary bar, and **accuracy always outranks citation-worthiness**. Never sharpen a hedge into a definitive claim the source does not support just because definitive statements get cited more. 4. **Get the source material.** This skill cannot invent evidence. If there is no study, no number and no credible third party to cite, the honest output is "this page has nothing citable yet", plus what would need to exist. ## Core framework: what the evidence says works From a controlled study of nine optimization tactics across 10,000 queries `[Aggarwal-2023
