/verify-claims — Chain-of-Verification on a Draft
Fact-check a draft using the Post-Flight Verification protocol (.claude/rules/post-flight-verification.md).
Input: $ARGUMENTS — path to a file containing the draft (markdown, .qmd, .tex, .md) or a shorthand pointer. Optional flags:
--source <path-or-url>— one or more source-material pointers (repeat for multiple). If omitted, the skill infers from context (e.g., papers referenced, cited arXiv URLs).--no-fail-closed— downgrade FAIL outcomes to warnings without regeneration. Use sparingly.
When to pick this skill
/verify-claims(this skill) — ad-hoc fact-checking on any draft or text block the user hands you. One-shot, user-invoked.- Other skills that auto-run Post-Flight internally (
/lit-review,/research-ideation,/respond-to-referees,/review-paper --peer) — no need to call this separately; they already run it. /proofread— grammar, typos, overflow. Different lens./review-paper(default mode) — full manuscript review, not just claim verification.
How it works
Implements the 4-step CoVe loop from Dhuliawala et al. 2023 (arXiv:2309.11495), with architectural enforcement of the fresh-context independence trick.

25review-paper
Comprehensive manuscript review covering argument structure, econometric specification, citation completeness, and potential referee objections
25lit-review
Structured literature search + synthesis with citation extraction, thematic clustering, and gap identification. Use when user says "find papers on X", "do a lit review", "what's the literature on...", "summarize what we know about...", "where's the gap in this field", "review recent work on Y". Produces a written review with BibTeX-ready citations. Uses WebSearch/WebFetch for recent work.
25pedagogy-review
Holistic pedagogical review of a lecture deck (`.qmd` or `.tex`). Checks narrative arc, prerequisite assumptions, worked examples, notation clarity, and deck-level pacing. Use when user says "pedagogy review", "does this teach well?", "is the flow right?", "will students follow?", "review the narrative", or before teaching a deck for the first time. Read-only; produces a report.
24validate-bib
Validate bibliography entries against citations in all lecture files. Structural checks (missing/unused entries, malformed fields) by default; `--semantic` adds citation-drift detection, DOI verification, and style-consistency checks.
24interview-me
Interactive interview that formalizes a fuzzy research idea into a structured spec (RQ, hypotheses, identification, data needs, empirical strategy). Use when user says "interview me", "help me think through this idea", "I have a half-baked idea", "formalize this into a project", "walk me through framing a study". Multi-turn Q&A; saves spec to disk. NOT for lit review (`/lit-review`) or ideation from scratch (`/research-ideation`).
