Evidence Hierarchy Reference

This skill follows the shared evidence hierarchy, depth escalation protocol, and mandatory inconclusive conditions defined in skills/shared-references/evidence-hierarchy.md. Verification agents must cite evidence tiers in every verdict. The depth escalation protocol governs re-verification requirements.

CoVe Self-Interrogation Reference

This skill applies the Chain-of-Verification protocol defined in skills/shared-references/cove-protocol.md during claim extraction (Phases 2-3). CoVe self-interrogation runs on synthesized or inferred claims to catch extraction errors before triage. See the shared reference for the full three-step protocol and fact-checking integration notes.
