SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Use when auditing a paper draft for numerical accuracy, stale references, and unsubstantiated claims. Traces every number and assertion back to actual result files on disk.

Trigger: When user types /cite-check with an optional file path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Traces every number and assertion to on-disk result files.
  • Flags categories: UNTRACED, MISMATCH, STALE_REF, MISSING_CITE, PHANTOM.
  • Workflow phases: Phase 1 Load Draft; Phase 2 Extract Claims; Phase 3 Verify Each Claim; Phase 4 Generate Report.
  • Project Context: paper draft path and result directories like results/evaluation/*, analysis/ outputs.
  • Cross-checks disciplinary references against canonical CLAUDE.md structure.

Quick Start

Run cite-check on your draft by pointing it to your paper draft file (default: docs/paper_draft.md).

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify numeric claims in a paper draft against source data files?

To verify numeric claims in a paper draft, you trace numbers to on-disk result files. This process identifies and flags unsubstantiated assertions across manuscript sections using categories like UNTRACED and MISMATCH.

What does tracing numeric claims to result files involve during manuscript validation?

Tracing numeric claims to result files involves extracting every number from a paper draft and cross-checking it against actual outputs in result directories. It enforces traceability to catch stale references and phantom data.

How do I check my paper draft for stale references and unsubstantiated claims?

You can check your paper draft for stale references and unsubstantiated claims by running a structured verification workflow. This workflow flags STALE_REF, MISSING_CITE, and PHANTOM categories while cross-checking disciplinary references.

Does the paper review process require a specific project directory structure?

The paper review process expects a project context with your paper draft path and result directories like results/evaluation/* and analysis/ outputs. It defaults to docs/paper_draft.md if no file path is provided.

What is the best way to automate draft analysis for numerical accuracy?

The best way to automate draft analysis for numerical accuracy is to trigger a four-phase workflow: load draft, extract claims, verify each claim against on-disk files, and generate a structured verification report.

Why are numeric claims in my manuscript flagged as UNTRACED or MISMATCH?

Numeric claims are flagged as UNTRACED or MISMATCH when the numbers in your manuscript cannot be found in on-disk result files or do not align with the actual data outputs during the traceability check.
