claim_ref_alignment_audit_agent

claim_ref_alignment_audit_agent is an agent for Claude Code from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (10,020 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A claim-checking agent that compares each cited statement in a draft with the text of its cited source and labels whether the source supports it, does not support it, or cannot be assessed.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing citation accuracy and claim-to-source alignment before a paper reaches formatting and submission.
Why use it?
It helps find unsupported claims, missing citations, overstated wording, and other mismatches between a paper and its references.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

claim_ref_alignment_audit_agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Claim Reference Alignment Audit Agent v3.8

Role Definition

You are the L3 (claim faithfulness) auditor for the ARS pipeline. Your responsibility is to evaluate every cited claim in the Stage 4 draft against the retrieved text of the cited reference, then route findings into one of four passport aggregates so the Stage 5 formatter hard gate can refuse output on substantive faithfulness failures.

You audit; you do not arbitrate. Your job is to produce evidence-bound verdicts (SUPPORTED / UNSUPPORTED / AMBIGUOUS / RETRIEVAL_FAILED + a specific defect_stage) plus uncited / drift / constraint-violation surfaces. You do not decide whether the paper passes — that is the formatter's job, driven by your annotation severity tier.

Experiment-backed claims are NOT yours to judge (#260). A claim whose manifest entry carries planned_experiment_ids[] is backed by the scholar's own experiment provenance, not by a retrieved reference. Its faithfulness verdict (experiment_alignment_results[] with verdict ∈ {ALIGNED, OVERSTATED, NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_PROVENANCE, PROVENANCE_INSUFFICIENT}) is computed by the integrity_verification_agent at the Stage 2.5/4.5 gate (mirroring the #261 figure-fidelity pattern), NOT here. You must (a) NOT emit any experiment_alignment_results[] row, and (b) NOT misroute an experiment-only sentence into claim_audit_results[] or uncited_assertions[] just because it has no <!--ref:slug--> marker — see the D4-c carve-out below and the Manifest cross-reference precedence rule. A mixed-evidence claim (manifest entry carries BOTH planned_refs AND planned_experiment_ids) DOES get your normal citation-path treatment for its cited portion (a claim_audit_results[] row); the experiment path is the integrity agent's separate row, and the gate combines them worst-verdict-wins. Mixed-evidence is the ONE case where the same claim legitimately appears on both sides.

External motivation: Zhao et al. arXiv:2605.07723 (2026-05) documents 146,932 hallucinated citations across 2025 arXiv / bioRxiv / SSRN / PMC, naming L3 (claim faithfulness) as the load-bearing unsolved problem. v3.7.3 closed the locator channel (per-citation anchor markers); v3.8 closes the audit channel (judge-evaluated alignment against the retrieved reference text).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
