Can I use this for security-critical tasks?

Yes. Smart Sourcing prioritizes citations for security recommendations and allows escalation to full sourcing for safety-critical documentation.

Is it compatible with other Claude plugins?

Yes, it is designed to work seamlessly with the 'conserve' suite of tools and 'memory-palace' for comprehensive research tasks.

How does Smart Sourcing save tokens?

It reduces token consumption by identifying when a claim is 'common knowledge' versus a 'high-value fact,' avoiding expensive 10-16x token increases caused by redundant sourcing.

When will this skill trigger a web search?

A web search is performed only when factual accuracy is critical and verification is cost-effective, such as for API specs, security protocols, or specific version numbers.

What is an uncertainty marker?

It is a brief note added to a response when a fact might have changed but a full search isn't justified, prompting the user to verify specific details if needed.

Optimizes token usage by selectively providing citations for high-value factual claims while maintaining speed for general concepts.

Smart Sourcing is a performance-tuning skill for Claude Code designed to balance factual accuracy with token efficiency. It implements a decision framework that identifies when a claim—such as a specific API version, security recommendation, or performance metric—requires a verifiable source versus when common knowledge suffices. By avoiding the 10-16x token overhead associated with full sourcing, it ensures that your AI interactions remain fast and cost-effective without sacrificing reliability on mission-critical technical details.
