What problem does it solve? Academic manuscripts lose credibility when numbers in the draft cannot be traced to their source files, or when evidence files are silently edited after claims are written. This Skill maintains a fingerprinted, read-only evidence store (mates/) with a manifest that records each file's provenance, checksum, and upstream commit, so every number in the paper traces to a verifiable source. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Import from a paired STAR repo: Runs execs/scpts/import.sh to pull or refresh result files, pinning each file's upstream commit in mates/MANIFEST.md as source-type: star entries, with confirmation before any rewrite of registered entries. - Register hand-dropped evidence: Adopts files under mates/manual/ as source-type: manual entries after reading them in full, asking for provenance, computing sha256, and stamping the real date. - Reconciliation check: Grades every file ok, unregistered, missing, tampered, or stale by comparing disk against the manifest, and reports the exact command that fixes each non-ok row. - Use Case: After a STAR experiment run produces updated results, run the import mode to refresh the evidence, then route to the table builder and claims auditor so tables and claims citing moved numbers get re-checked. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run stage-evid-curator in check mode to reconcile the mates/ evidence store against its manifest and report any unregistered, missing, tampered, or stale files.
