SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Verifies that every data-carrying element in a manuscript—numbers, tables, figures, categoricals, and terminology—derives from code and pipelines rather than manual entry, ensuring reproducibility and auditability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Macro manifest generation that maps injected values to their generating scripts and outputs.
  • End-to-end provenance tracing across manuscript sections and codebase, with integration hooks to manuscript-review.
  • Boundary checks between manuscript data and code/config to detect stale or inconsistent results.

Quick Start

Run the manuscript-provenance audit on your project directory to generate a macro manifest and a full provenance report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace manuscript data values to their generating code for reproducibility?

Tracing manuscript data to generating code involves mapping injected values to their scripts and pipelines. This provenance audit checks abstracts, methods, results, figures, and tables to verify outputs derive from code rather than manual entry.

What is provenance auditing for manuscripts and why do I need it?

Provenance auditing for manuscripts verifies that numbers, tables, figures, and terminology derive from code and pipelines rather than manual entry. It ensures reproducibility and auditability by detecting manual entries, stale outputs, and terminology mismatches.

How do I detect stale outputs and manual data entries in my manuscript?

To detect stale outputs and manual entries, run a provenance audit that performs boundary checks between manuscript data and code configuration. This identifies inconsistent results and verifies data elements trace back to their generating scripts.

Does manuscript provenance auditing work with manuscript-review workflows?

Manuscript provenance auditing integrates with manuscript-review workflows through dedicated integration hooks. This synergy delivers a complete provenance verdict by combining end-to-end tracing across manuscript sections and the codebase.

What is a macro manifest and how is it used in manuscript traceability?

A macro manifest maps injected manuscript values to their generating scripts and outputs. It serves as the foundation for end-to-end provenance tracing, enabling full traceability and reproducibility across manuscript sections and the codebase.

Can I audit figures and tables for terminology mismatches against my codebase?

Yes, provenance auditing applies to figures and tables to detect terminology mismatches against your codebase. It performs boundary checks between manuscript data and code to identify stale or inconsistent results across these elements.
