SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Political and media claims about Taiwan government budget cuts are often misleading, mixing proposals with final results, conflating deletions with freezes, or using unclear baselines. This Skill restores such claims to traceable amounts, procedures, account items, and verifiable business impacts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-Baseline Comparison: Compares prior-year statutory budget, prior-year final accounts, current-year proposed budget, and current-year post-third-reading statutory budget so every percentage has a clear denominator. - Deletion vs. Freeze Separation: Calculates deletion rates and freeze rates separately, tracks unfreezing conditions, and never combines them into a misleading "total cut" figure. - Impact Evidence Grading: Classifies claimed impacts (service suspensions, reduced quotas) as proven, calculable estimates, agency claims, third-party claims, or unproven, using a reproducible evidence chain. - Use Case: A user pastes a news article claiming a ministry's budget was "cut 20% and services will halt." The Skill retrieves official budget books and legislative records, verifies the actual deletion and freeze amounts, checks the procedural status, and outputs a structured fact-check report with a verdict of established, partially established, misleading, false, or insufficient evidence. ## Quick Start Use the taiwan-government-budget-auditor skill to fact-check this budget claim, separating the comparison baseline, deletions, freezes, procedural status, and verifiable impacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fact-check a Taiwan government budget cut claim?▼

Extract the agency, fiscal year, account item, disputed amount, and comparison baseline from the claim, then retrieve official budget books and legislative review records. Compare four baselines: prior-year statutory budget, prior-year final accounts, current-year proposed budget, and current-year post-third-reading budget.

What is the difference between a budget deletion and a budget freeze?▼

A deletion permanently reduces the appropriated amount, while a freeze keeps the amount but restricts spending until conditions such as a written or special report are met. The two must be calculated separately and never added together as a single cut figure.

Can this skill fact-check budgets before the third reading passes?▼

It can only report the current procedural status, such as proposals, committee review, or cross-party negotiation, when final documents are unavailable. It will not present proposal figures as final deletion or freeze results before formal passage.

What sources are used for Taiwan budget verification?▼

It prioritizes statutory and resolution documents, agency budget and final account books, legislative gazettes and voting records, and National Audit Office reports. Government press releases, party statements, and media reports are treated as claims to verify, not as facts.

When should I not use this budget auditing skill?▼

Do not use it for corporate or household budgets, investment financial reports, or purely value-based policy debates without a factual budget dispute. It also refuses requests to selectively hide counter-evidence or produce misleading partisan headlines.
