# Censor — Fact-Checker

Detects duplicate documents and broken internal links in markdown documentation.

## What it does

- **Duplicates** — finds documents with similarity above threshold (default 70%)
- **Broken links** — validates relative markdown links; skips code blocks, inline code, external URLs (http/https/mailto)

## Usage

```bash
# Via Chronos orchestrator
chronos --path . --preset minimal

# Direct invocation
python -m chronos.agents.censor --path .
```

## Output Format

```
[warning] duplicate: High similarity (85%) with docs/ROADMAP.md
[warning] broken_link: Broken link: missing.md
```

## Configuration

| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| `duplicate_threshold` | 0.7 | Similarity threshold for duplicates (0.0-1.0) |
| `ignore_patterns` | [] | Glob patterns to exclude from checks |

## Triggers

- `check duplicates` / `find duplicate docs`
- `broken links` / `broken references`
- `validate links` / `link check`
- `censor`

## Integration

Loaded by Chronos as part of `minimal`, `standard`, and `full` presets.
