SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces mandatory verification after any code, table, bibliography, or manuscript section change to prevent silently incorrect outputs, broken cross-references, unresolved citations, and mismatched regression or table results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Post-change Verification Matrix: Prescribed checks for Stata do-files, R scripts, Quarto QMD chapters, LaTeX tables, .bib files, and Overleaf sections.
  • Operational Steps: Inspect logs for errors, run scripts end-to-end, render the Quarto book, grep and validate citation keys, diff generated tables against prior outputs, and verify LaTeX table structure and labels.
  • Use Case: After updating a data processing script or a manuscript section, run the verification workflow to produce a PASS/FAIL report, surface issues, and append evidence to the backmatter when appropriate.

Quick Start

Run verification on the changed file or section and produce a verification report indicating PASS or FAIL.

Frequently Asked Questions about verify

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify Stata do-file outputs and Quarto rendering after making changes?

To verify Stata do-file outputs and Quarto rendering, you must run post-change verification checks that inspect logs for errors, execute scripts end-to-end, and render the Quarto book to detect mismatched outputs and broken cross-references.

What is the best way to validate citation keys in a .bib file for a research manuscript?

Validating citation keys in a .bib file involves running grep-based citation validation to check for unresolved references and ensure that bibliography modifications align with manuscript cross-references before producing a PASS/FAIL report.

How do I check LaTeX tables for structural errors and label mismatches?

Checking LaTeX tables for structural errors requires verifying table structure and labels against generated outputs, performing diff comparisons with prior outputs, and confirming regression consistency to prevent silently incorrect results.

Can I run post-change verification on both R scripts and Overleaf sections simultaneously?

Yes, you can run post-change verification on R scripts and Overleaf sections simultaneously by applying the prescribed verification matrix, which inspects logs, runs scripts end-to-end, and validates cross-references across all modified manuscript sections.

Why does my Quarto book rendering fail after updating a data processing script?

Quarto book rendering fails after updating a data processing script due to mismatched outputs, broken cross-references, or unresolved citations that post-change verification detects through log inspection and end-to-end script execution.

Do I need to manually diff generated tables after running a Stata do-file?

No, you do not need to manually diff generated tables after running a Stata do-file, because the verification workflow automatically performs diff comparisons of outputs against prior results and produces a structured PASS/FAIL verification report.
