# Citation verification

A reusable skill the "Answer the audit request without the scramble" recipe pulls in. Add it once and every agent on the team can use it.

Confirm every cited document in the evidence pack exists, is current, and actually supports the claim made.

## Method
1. Take the draft evidence entries, each with a claim and a cited source.
2. Re-open every cited source directly, not from a cached description of it.
3. Confirm the document exists at the stated path or URL.
4. Confirm it is the current version, not a superseded draft.
5. Read the cited section and confirm it actually supports the specific claim made.
6. Drop or flag any citation that fails any of these checks, rather than shipping it.

## Rules
- A citation that cannot be re-opened and confirmed is never left in the final pack.
- "Current version" is checked explicitly, not assumed from a recent-looking filename.
- Standard turnaround expectation for audit requests (set on first run, then stored in memory).
- Flag, do not silently remove, a claim whose only citation fails — the gap must stay visible.

## Output
A verified or flagged status per citation, with the failure reason recorded for anything that did not hold up.
