SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Before submitting or defending a paper or thesis, researchers risk unsupported claims, unverified citations, mismatched figures, and missing reproducibility records slipping through. This Skill acts as the final quality gate, systematically checking every claim, citation, figure, and artifact against raw evidence. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim and Evidence Auditing: Extracts quantitative claims and verifies each against raw result files, flagging number inflation, best-seed cherry-picking, config mismatches, and scope overclaims. - Citation and Reference Verification: Checks citation existence, metadata accuracy, sentence-level support, and Zotero/Scite/Semantic Scholar provenance. - Tiered Audit Workflow: Supports quick, advisor, and final audit tiers with prioritized P0-P3 issue routing to the correct revision skill. - Use Case: Before submitting a thesis, run a final-tier audit to produce a claim audit table, citation issue table, figure readiness checks, reproducibility checklist, and a prioritized fix list routed to writing, figures, or literature skills. ## Quick Start Use the research-final-audit skill to run a final-tier audit of my thesis manuscript before submission.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a research paper before submission?

Run a final-tier audit that extracts quantitative claims, verifies them against raw result files, checks citations for existence and sentence-level support, and reviews figures, formatting, and reproducibility records. The output is a prioritized P0-P3 fix list routed to the right revision step.

How to verify citations support the claims in my paper?

The citation audit checks each reference for metadata accuracy, existence, and whether it supports the exact sentence citing it. It can use Scite, Zotero, Semantic Scholar, or web search for verification when those tools are available.

What is the difference between quick, advisor, and final audit tiers?

Quick tier gives a short issue list after daily changes, advisor tier produces a risk list across claims, citations, data, figures, and code before supervisor review, and final tier delivers a full go/no-go decision with formatting and defense readiness before submission.

Can this audit check figure captions against raw data?

Yes. The figure and table evidence audit compares caption claims against source data and scripts, checks axes, units, and bolding against numeric values, and flags captions that overstate what the visual actually shows.

What happens when the audit finds an unsupported claim?

Unsupported claims are treated as blockers and routed to the appropriate revision skill, such as results analysis for raw data mismatches or paper writing for overclaim wording. The audit never silently rewrites claims to be stronger than the evidence.
