consistency-audit

consistency-audit is a skill for Claude Code from wenhaochai/claude-plugins. It costs 78 tokens per session (6,941 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of consistency-audit, MIT.

A check of whether a research paper contradicts itself or describes a method that differs from the one it actually evaluates.

In plain words
What is it for?
It reviews claims across the abstract, introduction, tables, main text, and appendix, checks arithmetic, and produces findings linked to evidence locations in the paper.
Why use it?
It finds internal inconsistencies using the paper itself, without needing outside facts or a separate reference answer.

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

consistency-audit 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 24d 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.

Consistency Audit — the paper vs itself

Audit intra-paper self-consistency for: $ARGUMENTS (requires claims.json from /evidence-ledger). Emit span-anchored consistency-audit.findings.json; the deterministic adjudicator — not this skill — computes the verdict.

🔒 Run once per input change; never wrap in /loop, /schedule or CronCreate (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/support/references/run-cadence.md). Re-run only when the paper or the ledger changes.

The flagship instrument. Internal contradiction is the single most defensible thing you can check on an unknown submission: it needs no external GT, runs at L0 (PDF-only), and is exactly where machine-generated papers crack — they hallucinate local coherence. Recall scales with the ledger: a PDF-text (L0) ledger extracts only number/scope spans, so the table/caption/method-drift checks gain teeth at L1 (LaTeX), where tables and captions are actually extracted. Adapted from ARIS paper-claim-audit, reframed from "paper vs result files" to "paper vs itself." There is no external ground truth in this skill.

Read reference/rationale.md for why this skill exists (the self-contradictions it targets and why it is the flagship L0 auditor).

Core principle

Ledger-anchored, span-verified, paper-vs-itself, reviewer≠adjudicator. Two passes feed the pipeline:

  1. a deterministic arithmetic pass (no model) — reproducible, the eval backbone;
  2. a fresh cross-model semantic pass — meaning drift the arithmetic can't see.

Both emit findings conforming to schemas/finding.schema.json. Every above-info finding cites a ledger claim_id + a verbatim span (references/integrity-forensics-contract.md rules 1–2). The model proposes; tools/adjudicate_findings.py decides (references/reviewer-independence.md Layer 2). This skill computes no verdict.

How this differs from the other auditors (route correctly)

This skill answers one question at L0 with no external lookup: does the paper contradict ITSELF, or does the described method differ from the evaluated one? Hand off instead: code/result fraud → experiment-forensics (L2); "first / SOTA" → baseline-comparison-audit + citation-forensics (needs_external_check); citations → citation-forensics; proofs → proof-derivation-forensics; surface → presentation-signals; rejection memo → adversarial-case-builder. Read reference/routing.md when unsure which auditor owns a finding.

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.
