checking-source-claims

checking-source-claims is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FlyFission/nuclear-grade-context-engineering. It costs 65 tokens per session (999 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review skill for checking whether references to outside sources are accurate and limited to what those sources support. Source families, agencies, and standards are outside authorities or bodies whose ideas may be cited.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review public documentation, templates, skills, change records, and rollout text against source maps and related evidence.
Why use it?
It prevents documentation from implying formal approval, certification, compliance, or direct influence when the evidence only supports a weaker connection.

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

checking-source-claims 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.

Checking Source Claims

Overview

"Source lineage" means showing where an idea came from. Honest lineage keeps public claims clean. It links an idea to a real public source. At the same time, it keeps the repo from sounding like it formally meets that source's rules.

Decision contract

  • Claim checked: every cited source is public and in the source map or marked "public URL needed", and each reference reads as influence or idea lineage rather than compliance, certification, or formal assurance.
  • Artifact observed: the changed public text against source-map.md, source-to-concept-crosswalk.md, and compliance-boundaries.md -> narrowed wording and updated source-map or crosswalk rows.
  • Decision affected: warn -- whether public/source wording is narrowed to honest influence or idea lineage rather than a compliance claim.
  • Failure class: overstated-lineage (an unconfirmed source cited as direct lineage, or a compliance/approval claim outside a disclaimer).
  • Next action: downgrade the source to "public URL needed" or reword to influence; wording affecting regulated, customer, or investor trust escalates.

When to Use

  • A doc, template, skill, command, or change record cites a source family.
  • New standards, frameworks, agencies, or assurance-sounding terms show up.
  • A public claim might sound like compliance, certification, approval, or formal verification.
  • A dependency, model, API, or vendor claim might get confused with proof from your own repo.

When Not to Use

  • The change is private code with no method claim and no source claim.
  • A source cannot be made public; use private, project-specific controls outside this public repo.

Inputs

  • The changed public text.
  • docs/00-standards-foundation/source-map.md.
  • docs/01-field-guide/source-to-concept-crosswalk.md.
  • docs/00-standards-foundation/compliance-boundaries.md.

Process

  1. Find every cited source family and every assurance-sounding term.
  2. Confirm each direct source is public, can be linked, and is listed in the source map.
  3. Sort each reference: is it an influence, an analogy, evidence, a requirement, an authority, or a vendor claim?
  4. Downgrade any unconfirmed source to "supporting context" or mark it "public URL needed."
  5. Reword claims as influence, idea lineage, or workflow inspiration.
  6. Remove or negate any wording that implies compliance, approval, or formal assurance.

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.
