Audit Claims Skill

Perform a two-phase citation integrity audit on an open GitHub research PR using parallel subagents. Phase 1 extracts claims by report section; Phase 2 matches each claim against available evidence and generates findings. Posts inline review comments and emits a verdict for recipe routing.

Arguments

/autoskillit:audit-claims <worktree_path> <base_branch> <pr_url>

• worktree_path — Absolute path to the research worktree (skill derives feature_branch from git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD inside it)
• base_branch — The base branch the PR targets (e.g., "main")
• pr_url — Explicit PR URL passed by the recipe (avoids re-discovering the PR)

When to Use

• Called by the research recipe orchestrator after review_research_pr
• Both read-only gates complete before any resolution step begins
• Can be invoked standalone to audit citation integrity for any open research PR

Critical Constraints

NEVER:

• Create files outside {{AUTOSKILLIT_TEMP}}/audit-claims/
• Approve a PR that has changes_requested findings
• Post review comments when gh is unavailable — output verdict=approved and exit 0
• Review files outside the PR diff — scope all audit to diff content only
• Modify any source code
• Run deterministic diff annotation (claim positions are report-level, not line-level)
• Generate findings for experimental claims — they are self-evidencing by definition
• Run subagents in the background (run_in_background: true is prohibited)

ALWAYS:

• Use the explicit pr_url argument instead of re-discovering via gh pr list
• Output verdict= on the final line
• Exit 0 in all normal cases; verdict drives recipe routing via on_result, not exit code
• Exit non-zero only for unrecoverable errors (e.g., gh CLI truly unavailable after graceful degradation)
• Use model: "sonnet" when spawning all subagents via the Task tool
• Deduplicate findings by (file, line) pairs before posting
