verify-trend-report

verify-trend-report is a skill for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 177 tokens per session (4,695 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A quality-checking workflow for trend reports that checks claims against their cited sources and reviews the report's overall structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for verifying research reports, applying revisions, removing claims that cannot be supported, and identifying possible follow-up improvements.
Why use it?
It helps find unsupported facts, structural problems, and claims that need correction before publication.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

verify-trend-report 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 1mo 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.

Verify Trend Report Skill

Quality gate for a generated trend report. Verifies every quantitative claim against its cited source via cogni-workspace:claims, runs a cross-theme structural review, applies corrections through the revisor when deviations or structural issues are found, and surfaces the downstream polish option at the end before handing back to /trends-resume for the Claude Design brief, catalog and dashboard paths. Runs in a fresh context window — separate from the trend-synthesis pipeline — so claims verification, the review loop, and revision get the full attention they deserve without competing for context with research data.

Purpose

trend-synthesis produces a draft (tips-trend-report.md) plus a claims registry (tips-trend-report-claims.json). This skill is the dedicated re-entry point that lifts that draft to a deliverable:

  1. Verifies claims against source URLs via cogni-workspace:claims
  2. Lets the user steer corrections (proceed / fix specific deviations / drop claims / accept)
  3. Runs trend-report-reviewer for cross-theme structural quality
  4. Dispatches trend-report-revisor to apply corrections, remove unverifiable claims, and find replacement evidence
  5. Surfaces downstream options: executive polish (cogni-publishing:copywriter), then hands back to /trends-resume for the Claude Design brief, catalog and dashboard paths

Prerequisites

  • trend-synthesis has produced both {PROJECT_PATH}/tips-trend-report.md and {PROJECT_PATH}/tips-trend-report-claims.json
  • cogni-workspace installed (recommended — graceful degradation when the cogni-workspace:claims skill is absent: structural review only, see Error Handling)
  • Optional: cogni-publishing:copywriter for the downstream polish option; if cogni-publishing is absent, skip polish gracefully and keep the verified report

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.
