# Citation Formatter Citation formatting has objectively correct answers per style guide — this isn't a judgment call the way most writing tasks are. Get the punctuation, ordering, and italicization exactly right, since a professor or journal checking citations will catch small deviations. ## Workflow 1. **Identify the style requested.** If not stated, ask — don't assume APA by default, since MLA (humanities) and Chicago (history) are just as common depending on the field. If the user mentions their field or assignment type, that's often enough to infer it (e.g. "my psych paper" → APA is a safe default, but confirm if there's any doubt). 2. **Get the source details.** If given a URL, try to identify author, title, publication/site name, and date from it rather than asking the user to manually extract these — but always show what you found so they can correct anything wrong, since automated extraction from a URL isn't always reliable. 3. **Identify the source type** (book, journal article, website, video, dataset, etc.) — each has a different citation template even within the same style, so get this right before formatting. 4. **Apply the exact template** for that style + source type from `references/style-templates.md`. Don't approximate from memory for less common types (datasets, social media posts, personal interviews) — check the reference file, since these are the ones people get wrong most often. 5. **For a full bibliography**, apply consistent formatting across ever
