SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? When someone cites a paper, benchmark, or repo README to support a stronger claim than the source actually makes, it is hard to respond precisely without straw-manning or vague disagreement. This Skill isolates what the evidence actually supports and drafts concise replies that correct the overreach. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim-vs-source comparison: Extracts the specific proposition being asserted and splits findings into supported, not established, and unproven extrapolations. - Evidence ladder labeling: Ranks claims from direct empirical findings down to repo philosophy, so the inferential gap is explicit. - Forum-ready reply drafting: Produces Reddit/X/forum responses that lead with the misunderstanding, state what the source shows and does not show, and tie back to the concrete artifact under debate. - Use Case: Someone argues a persona-benchmarking paper proves long narrative persona files are better prompt engineering. Use this Skill to show the paper supports persona sensitivity but not verbosity, then draft a postable correction. ## Quick Start Compare this person's claim about the cited paper to what the paper actually shows and draft a reply that addresses the misunderstanding of the research.

Frequently Asked Questions about evidence-based-replies

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I respond when someone mis cites a research paper?

Extract the specific proposition they assert from the source, then split the source's findings into what it supports, what it does not establish, and what is unproven extrapolation. Draft the reply around that distinction rather than vague disagreement.

How to write a forum reply correcting a claim about a paper?

Lead with the misunderstanding in the first sentence, then state what the paper actually supports, what it does not support, and tie back to the concrete artifact under debate. Avoid both-sides filler and academic hedging.

What is the evidence ladder for evaluating claims?

The ladder ranks claims from strongest to weakest: direct empirical findings, constrained implications, plausible implementation guesses, and repo philosophy or author preference. Labeling which rung a claim sits on exposes the inferential leap.

Can a repo README be treated as evidence like a paper?

No. A README or manifesto expresses design doctrine and author preference, not empirical proof. The Skill explicitly prevents letting repo guidance carry the evidentiary weight of a peer-reviewed paper.

When should I not use this evidence-comparison approach?

Avoid it when no specific source is cited or when the dispute is purely about values rather than evidence. The method requires an actual source to compare against and works best when a concrete inferential gap exists.
