SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Business documents often contain numbers, figures, and quotations whose origins are lost or unverifiable, making it impossible for readers to confirm values or reproduce them later. This Skill fixes the provenance of every data point before writing begins, so the same value can always be reached again. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Source Recording Standard: Defines a four-field citation format (location, position, timestamp, retrieval method) placed in a ## 出典 section at the end of the document. - Value Classification: Requires every number to be labeled as actual (実績), forecast (見込み), or estimate (概算), with testable assumptions written for non-actual values. - Clear Scope Boundaries: Delegates data retrieval to other skills (google-drive, document-systems, data-analyst) and fact-checking to quality-gates, keeping this Skill focused only on how sources are recorded. - Use Case: When drafting a quarterly business proposal with metrics from ad dashboards, spreadsheets, and SQL queries, use this Skill to record each value's URL, cell range or query, retrieval timestamp, and method so reviewers can verify every figure. ## Quick Start Use the document-sources skill to identify every number and figure needed for my proposal document and record their sources with location, position, timestamp, and retrieval method.

FAQPage Schema
How do I cite data sources in a business document?▼

Add a sources section at the end of the document with a table recording four fields per source: location (URL or system identifier), position (sheet name, cell range, query, or filter conditions), timestamp of retrieval, and retrieval method (screen, query, or API). Reference entries by number from the body text.

How should I label forecast and estimated numbers in reports?▼

Label every number as actual, forecast, or estimate directly where the reader sees the value. Forecasts and estimates do not need a source but must include a testable assumption, such as a stated growth rate continuing for a defined period.

Does this skill fetch data from Google Drive or databases?▼

No, it only defines how sources are recorded, not how data is retrieved. Fetching is delegated to other skills: google-drive for Drive files, document-systems for per-system procedures, and data-analyst agents for SQL aggregation.

Why is a URL alone not enough as a data source?▼

Spreadsheet values change over time and dashboard screens vary by filter conditions, so a URL alone cannot reproduce the same value. You also need the position (cell range, query, or filters), the retrieval timestamp, and the retrieval method.

What happens when a document value does not match its source?▼

Mismatch handling belongs to the fact-checking stage of the quality-gates skill, which sends the work back to this sourcing step. The correct value is determined by re-retrieving from the source, then updating both the value and the timestamp if the source changed.
