dataq-evidence-standards

dataq-evidence-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from x3allamerican/skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (834 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for judging whether evidence is strong enough to challenge an incorrect US Department of Transportation inspection or crash record through DataQ. DataQ is the government system for requesting reviews of transport records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess inspection, driver, equipment, crash, and regulation-record disputes and decide which documents to submit.
Why use it?
It helps separate disputes supported by documents from arguments based mainly on opinion, so effort is focused on cases with credible evidence.

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

dataq-evidence-standards 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.

DataQ Evidence Standards — What Actually Wins

Not all DataQ challenges succeed. The difference is evidence quality.

High-success patterns (>70% reversal rate)

  1. Identity error — wrong driver named (95% success)
  2. Officer documentation error — inspection time conflicts with ELD (78% success)
  3. CFR provision mismatch — citation references wrong rule (65% success)
  4. Crash classification — § 390.5 trigger absent (70% success)
  5. Equipment misidentification — wrong unit number (75% success)
  6. Driver was hired by another carrier at time of inspection (90% success)
  7. Cab card vs registration mismatch — paperwork issue clarified (60% success)
  8. State law conflict with FMCSA regulation (case-by-case)

Low-success patterns (<30% reversal rate)

  1. Officer made a legal interpretation error — challenging legal judgment (15%)
  2. Officer was over-zealous — subjective claim (10%)
  3. First-time offense argument — not grounds for reversal (0%)
  4. Driver was tired — driver state isn't a defense (10%)
  5. Driver was new — training isn't a defense (5%)
  6. Equipment failure — should have been caught in pre-trip (15%)

Evidence ranked by power

  1. Document with officer signature (highest)
  2. ELD/GPS data with timestamp (very high)
  3. Vehicle photo with date/timestamp (high)
  4. Dispatch records (high)
  5. Driver statement (medium — corroboration needed)
  6. Witness statement (medium)
  7. Pre-trip inspection log (medium)
  8. Maintenance records (medium)
  9. Photos from after-the-fact (low — no timestamp)
  10. Verbal account from driver (lowest)

How to structure the challenge

  1. Issue: State exactly what's wrong (1 sentence)
  2. CFR citation: Reference the specific section being challenged
  3. Evidence: Numbered list of documents attached
  4. Timeline: What happened, in chronological order
  5. Conclusion: Why the inspection record should be reversed

When NOT to file

If you have no documentary evidence and only the driver's word — the challenge is unlikely to succeed. Save the effort.

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.
