SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents the generation of reports, plans, or diagnostic documents containing unverified claims, thereby saving users time and building trust by ensuring all factual statements are supported by concrete evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence Enforcement: Mandates that every factual claim must have a corresponding, collected evidence source before the claim is written.
  • Prohibited Patterns: Identifies and prevents common pitfalls like inference-as-fact, single-source assumptions, and negation without verification.
  • Use Case: When diagnosing a system issue, this Skill ensures that any statement like "Process X is not running" is only made after ps aux has been run and its output (even if empty) is recorded.

Quick Start

Use the evidence-based-reporting skill to ensure all claims in the attached diagnostic report are supported by verifiable evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ensure diagnostic reports only contain verified claims?

To prevent unverified claims in diagnostic reports, enforce evidence-first discipline requiring concrete command-line output for every factual statement before documentation. This blocks inference-as-fact by mandating specific citations.

How do I stop inference-as-fact errors when documenting system debugging?

To stop inference-as-fact errors during debugging documentation, mandate that every factual claim passes command-line verification first. You must collect and record the verifiable output before writing the statement.

When do I need evidence-based reporting for my technical documentation?

You need evidence-based reporting for technical documentation when generating plans or diagnostic documents that require strict trust. It ensures every factual statement is backed by collected evidence, preventing incomplete verification.

What is the best way to verify a process is not running before writing it in a report?

The best way to verify a process is not running is to execute `ps aux` and record the output. You can only state the claim after capturing this verifiable evidence, even if the output is empty.

Does evidence-based reporting work without external dependencies?

Yes, evidence-based reporting works without external dependencies. It enforces its verification discipline natively by mandating specific command-line verifications and citation formats directly within your reports.
