Evidence Lock Skill

For most drafts, plausible is enough. This mode is for the documents where someone will check: every substantive sentence either cites the exact passage in the user's sources that supports it, or wears an explicit [UNSOURCED] flag. No third state.

What This Skill Produces

• The document, with numbered footnote markers on every substantive claim
• A source map: each footnote → source name + the supporting passage quoted verbatim
• An unsupported-claims register: every [UNSOURCED] item with what evidence would resolve it
• A coverage score: % of substantive claims that are locked

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

• The sources — pasted documents, files, or excerpts. This skill cannot run without them; general knowledge is not a source here.
• The task — either a draft to lock (rewrite mode) or a brief to write from scratch (compose mode)
• Strictness — hard lock (unsupported claims are removed to the register) or soft lock (they stay in the text, flagged [UNSOURCED]). Default: soft.
