What problem does it solve? It prevents premature or false claims of task completion in research writing workflows by requiring concrete verification evidence—such as command output, file existence, and API checks—before any success is declared. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Verification Gating: Enforces a five-step gate (identify proof, run command, read output, confirm claim, then report) before any completion statement. - Scenario Checklists: Provides verification patterns for chapter completion, citation authenticity via CrossRef API, argument support via evidence maps, format checks, and literature search results. - Quality Gate Scripts: References PowerShell scripts like check_skill_integrity.ps1 and research_quality_gate.ps1 to validate skill integrity and manuscript quality before submission. - Use Case: Before telling your advisor a chapter draft is finished, run word counts, structure checks, and citation validation, then report the actual evidence instead of saying "it should be done." ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to verify that the current chapter draft is complete by running word counts, format checks, and citation validation before claiming it is finished.
