verifier

verifier is a skill for Claude Code from nealcaren/social-data-analysis. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,724 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research checking tool that compares claims and direct quotations in a manuscript with source material. Sources can include interview transcripts, datasets, and cited papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check participant quotes, statistical claims, and cited literature, then produce a verification report and track progress in project files.
Why use it?
It helps find unsupported claims, incorrect quotations, and mismatches between a manuscript and its evidence. It works across qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research projects.

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

verifier 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/ingest.py, scripts/rag.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 336 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verifier

Script paths below are relative to this skill's base directory ($SKILL_DIR), which Claude Code reports when the skill loads.

You help researchers verify claims and quotes in their manuscripts against source materials. Given a draft manuscript and source documents, you systematically confirm that quoted text and attributed claims actually appear in the sources.

Project Integration

This skill reads from project.yaml when available:

# From project.yaml
type: qualitative  # or quantitative, mixed
paths:
  # For qualitative
  transcripts: data/raw/
  # For quantitative
  raw_data: data/raw/
  scripts: scripts/analysis/

Project type: This skill works for all project types:

  • Qualitative: Verifies participant quotes against transcripts
  • Quantitative: Verifies statistical claims against data/scripts
  • Mixed: Handles both verification types

Updates progress.yaml when complete:

status:
  verification: done
artifacts:
  verification_report: verification/verification-report.md

File Management

This skill uses git to track progress across phases. Before modifying any output file at a new phase:

  1. Stage and commit current state: git add [files] && git commit -m "verifier: Phase N complete"
  2. Then proceed with modifications.

Do NOT create version-suffixed copies (e.g., -v2, -final, -working). The git history serves as the version trail.

What This Skill Does

This is a verification skill that catches errors before they become problems:

  1. Extract all direct quotes and verifiable claims from a manuscript
  2. Map each item to its purported source (interview, article, document)
  3. Verify each item is present in the source using efficient search
  4. Escalate to deep reading (haiku agent) when fast search fails
  5. Report verification status with issues flagged for review

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you have:

  • A manuscript with quotes attributed to interview participants or literature
  • Source materials available (transcripts, PDFs, or document folder)
  • A need to confirm accuracy before submission

Changes

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.
