Cross Checking

Cross-references a specific topic, concept, or rule across all files to verify it is used consistently. Use when checking if a term or claim matches its authoritative definition everywhere, or when user says "cross-check", "is this consistent", "verify this term", or "does this match everywhere". Does NOT audit entire directories — use /auditing-physics or /auditing-canon for that.

File contents

Cross-Checking

Verify that a specific topic or rule is used consistently across the repo.

Process

  1. Find the authoritative source for the term/rule
  2. grep -r to find all mentions across the repo
  3. Compare each mention against the authoritative definition
  4. Report matches, additions, and contradictions

Rules

  • Cross-civilization differences are NOT contradictions
  • In-universe documents may intentionally differ from science documents
  • Different eras may have different understandings

Out of Scope

Does NOT audit entire directories (use /auditing-physics or /auditing-canon). Does NOT write or modify files. Report only.
