SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about verification

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify a research chapter is actually complete?

Run word count checks, confirm the chapter file exists, and execute format validation scripts, then read the full output. Only claim completion when the command output confirms each criterion, not based on assumptions like "it should be done."

How to verify citations are real in an academic paper?

Query the CrossRef API to confirm each DOI exists and that author, journal, and year metadata match the original source. Visual inspection of a reference list is not sufficient evidence of authenticity.

What is a verification gate in AI-assisted writing?

A verification gate is a mandatory checkpoint requiring you to identify a proving command, execute it, read the complete output, and confirm it supports your claim before reporting success. Skipping any step invalidates the claim.

Can I trust an agent's success report without verification?

No. Agent success reports must be independently verified by running the relevant commands yourself and inspecting the output. Partial checks or trusting summaries are explicitly treated as insufficient evidence.

What scripts validate manuscript quality before submission?

The research_quality_gate.ps1 PowerShell script checks citation coverage, placeholder strategy, figure data manifests, and evidence maps. Adding the -Submission flag blocks unfilled placeholders before submission.
