citation-cli
Cite, don't import — track cited code in pyproject.toml with
Quote / Paraphrase / Synthesize semantics.
Install
uv tool install citation-cli
Or with pip:
pip install citation-cli
Usage
Record a citation — scans files in the target directory and records
each as a quote with its sha256 hash in pyproject.toml:
cite add my-pkg \
--source ../packages/ref \
--version 1.0.0 \
--target ./src/clients/my-pkg
Check integrity of cited files — compares sha256 hashes of quoted files, reports drift or missing files:
cite check
Check a specific package:
cite check my-pkg
File status
Files are tracked with one of three statuses:
- quote — exact copy, sha256 recorded, checked for drift
- paraphrase — intentionally modified, skipped during check
- synthesize — merged into an existing file, skipped during check
Migrating from assimilai
If you have a legacy [tool.assimilai] manifest, migrate it to the
v2 [tool.citation] schema with:
cite migrate

Security for citation-cli 0.1.0
Provenance
Provenance describes where a file came from. On PyPI, provenance is shared via attestations, which provide a verifiable record of the build or publishing details. View details, limitations and caveats.
No provenance found
None of the files in this release were uploaded with provenance metadata.
A note on package security
PyPI is a repository for distributing packages, not a service for auditing them. While third-party security researchers and our staff do their best to detect and remove malicious packages, PyPI cannot guarantee the quality, security or suitability of any given package.
