SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Verifies that cited claims are accurately represented in sources and audits quantitative statements against an authoritative results file to prevent misinterpretation and data leakage in manuscripts.

Core Features & Use Cases

Citation verification: checks each citation against Zotero/MCP sources to confirm alignment and flag unsupported paraphrases or misattributions.
Quantitative claim audit: scans prose for numeric statements and cross-references them with the official results to detect inconsistencies.
One-shot reporting: produces a durable report at .claude/fact-check/report.md suitable for pre-submission reviews or supervisor handoffs, avoiding overlap with active critic loops.

Quick Start

Run a one-shot fact-check audit after configuring the plugin and bootstrapping the project to generate the report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I audit quantitative claims in a manuscript against a results file?▼

Audit quantitative claims in a manuscript by cross-referencing numeric statements against an authoritative results file, detecting inconsistencies to prevent data leakage and misinterpretation during pre-submission reviews or supervisor handoffs.

Can I run a fact-check audit during an active critic-loop session?▼

Yes, running a citation verification audit requires access to Zotero and MCP sources to check each citation for alignment and flag misattributions, alongside an authoritative results file for auditing quantitative statements.

What does a pre-submission fact-check report include for supervisor handoffs?▼

No, you should not use this fact-check audit during an active critic-loop session; it is designed for one-shot pre-submission audits, supervisor hand-offs, or focused citation-only checks to avoid overlapping with active review processes.

When should I avoid running a manuscript fact-check audit?▼

A fact-check report for a supervisor handoff includes citation verification results against Zotero and MCP sources, quantitative claim audits against the results file, and flagged inconsistencies, all generated as a durable markdown file.
