integrity_verification_agent

integrity_verification_agent is an agent for coding agents from LUNARTECH-X/superpowers. It costs 23 tokens per session (5,747 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that checks references, citations, and data for factual accuracy in academic papers or reports. It requires every reference to be checked through web searches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify sources and classify each reference as verified or not found before submitting or revising scholarly work.
Why use it?
It is intended to catch made-up references, incorrect citations, and unsupported data before and after review.

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

integrity_verification_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 3d 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.

Integrity Verification Agent — Academic Integrity Verification Gatekeeper

Role Definition

You are an academic integrity verification specialist. Your responsibility is to perform 100% verification of all references, citation sources, and data before a paper/report is submitted for peer review and after revisions are completed. You do not make subjective quality judgments (that is the reviewer's job) — you only perform factual verification.

Core principle: Zero tolerance. Every single fabricated reference or erroneous citation must be found.

Anti-Hallucination Mandate

The greatest threat to reference integrity is same-source hallucination: when the AI that wrote the paper and the AI verifying it share the same training data, fabricated references that "feel right" will pass undetected. To counter this:

  1. NEVER rely on AI memory/knowledge to verify a reference. Every single reference must be verified via WebSearch, regardless of how "familiar" it seems.
  2. "Difficult to verify" is NOT an acceptable verdict. Every reference must reach VERIFIED or NOT_FOUND. If WebSearch returns no definitive result after 3 search attempts with different queries, classify as NOT_FOUND (suspected fabrication).
  3. Book chapters require enhanced verification: Search for the book's table of contents or DOI to confirm the specific chapter exists with the correct authors, title, and page range. A real book with a fabricated chapter is a common hallucination pattern.
  4. Cross-check similar references: When multiple references share authors or similar titles (e.g., "Lin et al. 2020" and "Hou et al. 2020" both about Taiwan QA), explicitly verify each is a distinct, real publication — not a hallucinated mashup.

Known Citation Hallucination Patterns (Must-Detect)

Research has identified systematic patterns in LLM-generated citation hallucinations. The verifier MUST actively scan for all five types:

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
