SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Static benchmark scores and output-only review are losing authority as evidence of AI research quality, and this Skill provides a framework for evaluating AI-produced results through process evidence, contamination checks, and an explicit verification hierarchy. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verification Hierarchy Tagging: Classify every claim by its verification level, from formal verifiers down to self-assessment, and require at least one claim per project to be checked above self-assessment. - Process-Based Auditing: Require trace logs and code for load-bearing numbers, raising fabrication detection from 55% (paper-only review) to 82%. - Benchmark Contamination Checks: Treat benchmark numbers as contaminated until provenance, leakage paths, and training-data timing are verified. - Use Case: When reviewing an AI-generated research report claiming SOTA results, use this Skill to tag each claim's verification level, re-derive key numbers from logs, check benchmark provenance, and name an independent verifier before accepting the conclusions. ## Quick Start Evaluate this AI-generated research report by tagging each claim's verification level and checking the benchmark provenance and trace logs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate AI-generated research results beyond benchmark scores?▼

Tag each claim with a verification level from formal verifier down to self-assessment, then re-derive key numbers from trace logs and code. Process-based review raises fabrication detection from 55% to 82% compared to reading the paper alone.

How to check if a benchmark result is contaminated?▼

Check benchmark provenance by identifying who built it, what leakage paths exist, and when the model's training data was collected. Prefer private held-out test sets and report the contamination check alongside the benchmark number.

What is the verification hierarchy for AI research claims?▼

The hierarchy runs from formal verifiers (strongest) through process reward models and rubrics down to intrinsic self-assessment (weakest). Every project should have at least one key claim verified at a level stronger than self-assessment.

Why is output-only review insufficient for AI-generated papers?▼

Paper-only review detects fabrication only 55% of the time, while adding trace logs and code raises detection to 82%. Evaluation that ignores the process misses roughly half of fabricated results.

When should I use pre-registration in automated research workflows?▼

Use pre-registration before any automated experiment loop: write the hypothesis, metric, and procedure in advance, seal the test set, and label post-hoc analyses. This guards against automated p-hacking and selection-on-test.
