ccf-integrity-auditor

CCF Integrity Auditor

Core Rule

Trace each important claim to supplied evidence, each number to supplied results, and each citation to a real cited work and a supported citation context. Mark unsupported items instead of repairing them by invention.

Modes

• claim-audit: claim-support and result-to-claim consistency.
• numeric-audit: numbers, units, table/figure/text agreement, deltas, and metric direction.
• citation-audit: already cited papers, BibTeX metadata, duplicate keys, DOI/arXiv/venue sanity, and citation-context support.
• full: all integrity checks.

Workflow

1. Identify supplied manuscript, figures/tables/results, bibliography, ccfa.yaml, and requested audit mode.
2. Build a claim-evidence matrix and mark each claim as supported, partially supported, unsupported, overstated, or unclear.
3. Cross-check all reported values across text, tables, figures, captions, abstracts, and conclusions.
4. For citation audit, verify only existing citations unless the user asks for new literature; broad search belongs to ccf-literature-searcher.
5. For any questionable citation, separate metadata problems from context-support problems.
6. Hand off to ccf-paper-reviewer for full scientific judgment and to ccf-paper-writer for safe wording edits.
7. If the numbers and claims are consistent but the figure/table layout, caption placement, palette, float order, or rendered readability is weak, hand off to ccf-visual-composer.
