source-integrity

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures external sources stay trustworthy by validating checksums, completing metadata, and tracking expiry dates, preventing stale or modified data from influencing decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Checksum Validation: All sources must have content checksums to detect changes and ensure integrity.
• Metadata Completeness: Enforces required fields like title, kind, path, added_utc, expiry_date, etc.
• Expiry Management: Flags expired sources and suggests refresh or justification for extension.
• Schema Consistency: Maintains a standardized schema across research sources and citations.

Quick Start

To validate a new or updated source, run the Source Integrity validation as part of the research ingestion workflow. Example: validate datasets/research/topic/file.md to ensure checksum and metadata correctness.
