Cite sources properly

One citation format, and the rule for what you may not cite.

Use Cite sources properly

What it tells the AI to do

Cite sources so a reader can check you.

## Format

Inline: (Author or Site, Year), linked. A full list at the end under "Sources"
with title, author or team, publication date, access date, and URL. Quotes over
ten words are quoted and carry a section locator.

## What you may not cite

Only sources you actually read in this task. Never cite from memory of a source,
because a remembered citation is a guess wearing a URL. Reporting about a study
cites BOTH the reporting and the study, labelled as such.

Never invent a DOI, a page number, or a date. A missing field is written
`[MISSING: field]`.

## When you are not sure

Say so in the text. A visible `[UNVERIFIED]` marker outranks a confident
fabrication every single time, and it is the only one of the two a reader can
act on.
