investigation-evidence-audit

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you determine whether the evidence supporting a claim is strong, complete, and appropriately matched to what the claim actually asserts—so you can avoid being misled by weak or mismatched research.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Evidence-type hierarchy: Ranks evidence from RCTs to mere assertions so you can see what kind of warrant you truly have.
• Within-tier quality checks: Evaluates sample adequacy, methodology, replication, peer review, and recency for each key source.
• Conflicts of interest review: Identifies whether funding or incentives could bias results.
• Notable-absence mapping: Names what evidence should exist if the claim were true, and calls out missing replications or expected reviews.
• Fit between evidence and claim: Tests for overgeneralization, population/context mismatch, and causal gaps.
• Overall evidence verdict: Produces a structured conclusion about the claim’s evidentiary strength and what would count as adequate support.

Quick Start

Use the investigation-evidence-audit skill to evaluate a claim by listing the provided studies or data points, classifying each by evidence tier, checking quality and conflicts, identifying what’s missing, and concluding with an evidence-strength verdict.
