ccf-integrity-auditor

mikubaka88/ccfa-skills

Audit CCF claims, numbers, and citations against supplied evidence—no invention, full traceability.

What is ccf-integrity-auditor?

Verifies that claims in manuscripts are supported by provided evidence, numbers are consistent across text/tables/figures, and citations match real works with proper context. Use this for integrity checking before submission; full scientific review and new literature discovery belong to other skills.

  • Trace claims to supplied evidence and mark support level (supported, partial, unsupported, overstated, unclear)
  • Cross-check numeric values across text, tables, figures, captions, and abstracts for consistency and correct units
  • Verify existing citations against primary sources and check BibTeX metadata, DOI/arXiv validity, and duplicate keys
  • Validate citation-context alignment—that cited works actually support the claims they're attached to
  • Distinguish between metadata problems and context-support problems in citations
  • Report exact locations (file, page, table) of discrepancies with severity levels

How to use ccf-integrity-auditor

  1. 1.Provide the manuscript, bibliography, and any figures/tables/results files
  2. 2.Specify the audit mode: claim-audit (claims only), numeric-audit (numbers), citation-audit (citations), or full (all three)
  3. 3.The skill will build a claim-evidence matrix, cross-check values, and verify citations against primary sources
  4. 4.Review the output report showing exact locations, severity, and what is unsupported or inconsistent
  5. 5.Hand off to ccf-paper-reviewer for scientific judgment or ccf-paper-writer for safe edits if needed

Use cases

Good for
  • Pre-submission integrity check: verify all claims in a manuscript have evidence before sending to reviewers
  • Numeric consistency audit: ensure table values match in-text numbers and figure captions report correct statistics
  • Citation validation: confirm that cited papers exist, metadata is correct, and citations support their claims
  • Collaborative manuscript review: identify unsupported or overstated claims for the writing team to address
  • Audit-before-handoff: prepare material for ccf-paper-reviewer or ccf-paper-writer with known integrity status
Who it's for
  • Academic authors preparing manuscripts for submission
  • Research teams conducting internal quality checks before external review
  • Editors or reviewers verifying claim-evidence alignment
  • Manuscript coordinators ensuring consistency across multi-author documents

ccf-integrity-auditor FAQ

Does this skill rewrite or repair unsupported claims?

No. It marks unsupported items and reports them; it does not invent evidence or reword claims. Repairs are handed off to ccf-paper-writer with explicit authorization.

What's the difference between this and ccf-paper-reviewer?

This skill audits integrity—tracing claims to evidence and checking consistency. ccf-paper-reviewer performs full scientific judgment, methodology critique, and novelty assessment.

Can it search for new papers to support a claim?

No. It verifies existing citations and supplied evidence only. New literature discovery belongs to ccf-literature-searcher.

What if a figure or table is missing?

The skill reports which values cannot be verified and marks coverage as incomplete. It finishes all checkable portions and clearly separates unverified from failed checks.

How does it handle numbers across multiple formats (text, tables, figures)?

It cross-checks values deterministically, checking units, metric direction, rounding, and deltas. It distinguishes 'not comparable' from 'inconsistent' and reports exact locations of discrepancies.

CCF Integrity Auditor

Family File Contract

Before writing, resolve the canonical output and one stable working directory per task/artifact. Reuse explicit or established task paths; otherwise use project-root ccfa-workfiles/<purpose>/<artifact-id>/, with source/, assets/, cache/, and build/ only as needed. Update current files in place; do not scatter intermediates or create iteration copies. Preserve inputs and required evidence; clean only verified disposable files created by this task. Use UTF-8 text I/O and check Chinese text after saving or rendering. For file work, apply artifact-contracts.md and reuse the same paths across skill transitions.

Collaboration Contract

Before specialist execution, read and apply ccf-humanization first, then ccf-common. At every handoff, reuse their applicable active rules or refresh missing/changed ones. Both preflights are required even without prose; detailed editing, experiment, and maintenance modes run only when relevant.

Keep one integrating owner and actively use other skills to resolve missing prerequisites or check material findings. Reuse applicable evidence; do not skip necessary groundwork to save tokens. Before finalizing, integrate contributions and verify affected results. Follow the conditional cooperation routes; avoid unrelated stages and duplicate reports.

Core Rule

Trace each important claim to supplied evidence, each number to supplied results, and each citation to a real cited work and a supported citation context. Mark unsupported items instead of repairing them by invention.

Modes

  • claim-audit: claim-support and result-to-claim consistency.
  • numeric-audit: numbers, units, table/figure/text agreement, deltas, and metric direction.
  • citation-audit: already cited papers, BibTeX metadata, duplicate keys, DOI/arXiv/venue sanity, and citation-context support.
  • full: all integrity checks.

Workflow

  1. Identify supplied manuscript, figures/tables/results, bibliography, ccfa.yaml, and requested audit mode.
  2. Build a claim-evidence matrix and mark each claim as supported, partially supported, unsupported, overstated, or unclear.
  3. Cross-check the reported values within the requested scope across text, tables, figures, captions, abstracts, and conclusions. Use deterministic arithmetic for deltas, units, metric direction, and rounding. Distinguish not comparable from inconsistent.
  4. For citation audit, verify the identity and context support of existing citations through primary sources; metadata existence alone does not establish support. Batch independent identifiers when possible. Seek new literature only when requested; broad discovery belongs to ccf-literature-searcher.
  5. For any questionable citation, separate metadata problems from context-support problems.
  6. Hand off to ccf-paper-reviewer for full scientific judgment and to ccf-paper-writer for safe wording edits.
  7. If the numbers and claims are consistent but the figure/table layout, caption placement, palette, float order, or rendered readability is weak, hand off to ccf-visual-composer.

Execution Boundaries

Follow ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md, and ../ccf-common/references/privacy-and-evidence.md. Finish the checkable portions when an attachment or source is missing. Report exact file/page/table locations, affected values or claims, evidence, and severity; mark unverified coverage separately from failures. An audit request does not authorize manuscript rewriting. Use existing authorization for explicitly requested fixes and preserve raw measurements.
