SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Epistemic classification provides a rigorous, repeatable method to label PKM artifacts by their confidence level (Verified, Inferred, or Guess), reducing ambiguity and enabling trustworthy knowledge curation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establishes canonical rules for when to assign Verified, Inferred, or Guess statuses.
  • Supports citation requirements and traceability for PKM artifacts.
  • Facilitates preload into agents that require epistemic rigor without PKM.

Quick Start

Classify a given PKM artifact using the canonical rules to assign it a status of Verified, Inferred, or Guess.

Frequently Asked Questions about epistemic-classification

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is epistemic classification for personal knowledge management artifacts?▼

Epistemic classification assigns a reliability status to PKM artifacts. It labels notes, references, and summarized content as Verified, Inferred, or Guess to reduce ambiguity and enable trustworthy knowledge curation.

How do I classify a note as Verified, Inferred, or Guess?▼

To classify a note, apply the canonical epistemic rules to evaluate its citation requirements and traceability. The Skill uses these strict rules to determine whether the artifact status is Verified, Inferred, or Guess.

When do I need to use epistemic status labels for my notes?▼

You need epistemic status labels when curating knowledge in a PKM system and requiring rigorous traceability. It establishes canonical rules to reduce ambiguity and ensure notes have clear Verified, Inferred, or Guess confidence levels.

Can I use epistemic classification without a full personal knowledge management setup?▼

Yes, you can use epistemic classification without a full PKM setup. It facilitates preload into agents that require epistemic rigor, applying canonical reliability rules to any summarized content or references.

What are the citation requirements for assigning a Verified status to a reference?▼

Assigning a Verified status requires meeting strict citation and traceability rules for the artifact. The classification process ensures references have the necessary documentation to support a Verified, Inferred, or Guess label.
