SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Genealogists following the Genealogical Proof Standard must turn accumulated evidence into a written, soundly reasoned conclusion, which is time-consuming and easy to get wrong. This Skill selects the correct proof tier and form, then produces a self-contained narrative ready to upload to FamilySearch. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tier and Form Selection: Chooses among Proved, Probable, Possible, Not Proved, and Disproved, and picks Statement, Summary, or Argument form based on the evidence. - Delegated Conclusion Writing: Delegates to a proof-conclusion agent that runs a preconditions gate, writes the narrative, updates proof_summaries in research.json, and encodes facts into tree.gedcomx.json at tier Probable or higher. - Proof Review: Assesses an existing proof summary against GPS components when asked whether a proof meets the standard. - Use Case: After resolving conflicting census records for an ancestor's birth date, ask for a proof argument and receive a GPS-conformant narrative persisted to the project and uploadable to FamilySearch. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write a proof argument concluding the open research question about your ancestor's birth date.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a GPS-conformant proof statement for genealogy research?▼

Ask to write the conclusion for a specific research question once assertions and person evidence exist. The Skill delegates to an agent that selects the tier and form, writes the narrative, and stores it in the project's proof_summaries section.

What proof tiers does the Genealogical Proof Standard support?▼

This Skill supports five tiers: Proved, Probable, Possible, Not Proved, and Disproved. The delegated agent picks the tier the evidence supports rather than forcing a positive conclusion, and records lower tiers instead of declining.

Can I review an existing proof summary against the GPS?▼

Yes. Ask whether your proof meets the GPS or to assess a specific ps_NNN entry against the GPS components. Re-invoking for the same question updates the existing summary in place rather than appending a duplicate.

When should I not use the proof conclusion step?▼

Do not use it to resolve conflicts, select the next research question, classify evidence, or summarize hypothesis status. Those tasks route to the conflict-resolution, question-selection, record-extraction, and hypothesis-tracking skills respectively.

Why does the proof conclusion get declined or routed elsewhere?▼

The delegated agent runs a preconditions gate covering evidence classification, identity links, and unresolved conflicts. If the gate fails, the agent declines and routes to the appropriate skill, which is the correct outcome rather than an error.
