proposition-checking

When to Use

• A brief, skeleton argument, motion, memo, advice note, or witness statement makes propositions tied to citations.
• The user wants to know whether cited cases, statutes, exhibits, or witness evidence actually support the statement made.
• A citation exists, but the concern is misuse rather than fabrication.
• The user asks whether a quotation, paraphrase, or record reference is accurate.

This skill checks support. It does not predict who wins and does not replace legal judgment.

Audience and Work Shape

Audience: litigators, legal researchers, trainees, and paralegals checking draft arguments or evidence summaries for lawyer review.

Work shape: pattern-matched source checking with accretive judgment. The skill maps propositions to sources and grades support; it does not make the legal argument for the user.
