SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Research briefs and memos often cite sources that do not actually support their claims, and unverified claims erode trust once forwarded. This Skill checks every checkable claim against its cited source so nothing ships on borrowed credibility. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim-by-claim ledger: Extracts every factual claim with a stable id, maps it to its cited source, and marks each as hit or miss with the supporting passage or miss reason. - Miss classification: Distinguishes claims with no source, unopenable sources, and sources that say something nearby but not the claimed thing. - Brief comparison: When two briefs cover one topic, flags where they disagree and which brief's sourcing holds up. - Use Case: Before a market research memo goes to leadership, run this Skill to produce a dated markdown ledger showing which claims are backed by their cited sources and which need rework. ## Quick Start Verify the citations in the attached brief and produce a claim-by-claim hit-or-miss ledger with supporting passages.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify citations in a research brief?▼

Provide the brief with numbered claims and their cited sources. The Skill extracts each checkable claim, opens the cited source, compares what it says to the claim, and records a hit or miss with the supporting passage or miss reason in a markdown ledger.

What counts as a miss when checking citations?▼

A miss is any claim with no cited source, a source that cannot be opened, or a source that says something nearby but not the claimed thing. Unverified and verified are never merged, and partial support does not count as a hit.

Can citation verification handle sources behind credentials?▼

Sources requiring credentials you were not granted are recorded as unreachable and the claim is logged as a miss (unopened). Credentials are referenced as environment variable names only and never pasted into findings.

Does citation verification judge whether sources are correct?▼

No. It only checks that cited sources say what the brief claims they say. It does not assess whether the sources themselves are accurate, and it is not legal or statistical review of the underlying analysis.

When should I not use citation verification?▼

Do not use it for statistical review of the underlying analysis or for legal interpretation of what a source obligates. Consequential claims still require a qualified human even when every citation checks out.
