Verify Trend Report Skill

Quality gate for a generated trend report. Verifies every quantitative claim against its cited source via cogni-claims, runs a cross-theme structural review, applies corrections through the revisor when deviations or structural issues are found, and surfaces downstream polish and visualization options at the end. Runs in a fresh context window — separate from the trend-synthesis pipeline — so claims verification, the review loop, and revision get the full attention they deserve without competing for context with research data.

Purpose

trend-synthesis produces a draft (tips-trend-report.md) plus a claims registry (tips-trend-report-claims.json). This skill is the dedicated re-entry point that lifts that draft to a deliverable:

1. Verifies claims against source URLs via cogni-claims:claims
2. Lets the user steer corrections (proceed / fix specific deviations / drop claims / accept)
3. Runs trend-report-reviewer for cross-theme structural quality
4. Dispatches trend-report-revisor to apply corrections, remove unverifiable claims, and find replacement evidence
5. Surfaces downstream options: executive polish (cogni-copywriting:copywriter) and visual enrichment (cogni-visual:enrich-report)

Prerequisites

• trend-synthesis has produced both {PROJECT_PATH}/tips-trend-report.md and {PROJECT_PATH}/tips-trend-report-claims.json
• cogni-claims plugin installed (recommended — graceful degradation when absent: structural review only, see Error Handling)
• Optional: cogni-copywriting and cogni-visual plugins for downstream menu options
