Source-Based Fact Checking

Verify claims against evidence rather than model recall. Do not initiate a full claim audit speculatively when the user requested a narrower edit or review.

Scope and capabilities

Read the supplied files in order and preserve context. Use available search, source retrieval, document-reading and output tools; exact tool names and subagents are not prerequisites. If evidence cannot be retrieved, mark affected claims unresolved and report coverage limits. Do not replace retrieval with confident memory. Select an output location within the authorized workspace; preserve existing reports rather than overwrite them without authorization.
