dingxingdi Skill: reference-based-correctness-audit
1. Capability Definition & Real Case
- Professional Definition: The ability to accurately evaluate the truthfulness, logical integrity, and nuanced behavioral alignment of a candidate response by performing a robust comparison against an authoritative reference. This ranges from strict step-by-step mathematical/factual answers to fuzzy, multi-axis behavioral guidelines (e.g., Professionalism, Ethics, Domain Relevance), identifying specific reasoning gaps, metric drift, or deviations from the gold standard.

Real Case
[Case 1]
- Initial Environment: A multi-turn conversation where a user provides a coordinate geometry question and an assistant's proposed solution. A verified geometric formula for the area of a triangle is provided as the gold reference.
- Real Question: The vertices of a triangle are (0, 0), (-1, 1), and (3, 3). The assistant says the area is 0 because the points are collinear. Is the assistant correct?
- Real Trajectory: 1. Retrieve coordinates. 2. Apply the gold reference area formula. 3. Execute math: Result is 3. 4. Compare result (3) with assistant's result (0). 5. Identify that the assistant erroneously calculated (-3-3) as 0. 6. Issue negative verdict.
- Real Answer: [[Incorrect]]. The assistant made a calculation error; the term (-1)(3-0) + 3(0-1) equals -3-3, which is -6, not 0. The correct area of the triangle is 3.
- Why this demonstrates the capability: The agent must move beyond its own internal weights and strictly audit the candidate's math against a step-by-step objective gold reference, identifying exactly where the rigid logic failed.
[Case 2]
- Initial Environment: An expert financial audit scenario where the user wants to check a lease accounting calculation under IFRS 16 rules provided as the gold reference.
- Real Question: Abigail leased telephones for two years starting April 1st. Payments: $3,000 upfront, then $9,000 each following Mar 31. A candidate claims the expense for the year ending Dec 31 is $3,000. Is this right?
- Real Trajectory: 1. Consult IFRS 16 reference: Total cost = 21,000 over 24 months. 2. Calculate monthly rate: $875/month. 3. Identify relevant 9-month period. 4. Correct expense: $7,875. 5. Detect that the candidate used the cash payment instead of the accrual expense. 6. Output the correction.
- Real Answer: [[Incorrect]]. Following IFRS 16, the total rentals of $21,000 must be spread evenly over the 2-year lease. The annual expense is $10,500, and for the 9 months ending Dec 31, the correct impact is $7,875, not the $3,000 cash payment.
- Why this demonstrates the capability: This requires high-stakes objective reasoning where the agent must verify the application of a specific professional policy (accrual vs. cash) against a reference standard to flag a 'plausible-sounding' mistake.
[Case 3]
- Initial Environment: A multi-turn clinical roleplay where a medical student is interviewing an AI patient. The agent must judge the student's final turn against a fuzzy multi-dimensional reference rubric assessing Professionalism, Relevance, and Ethics.
- Real Question: Evaluate this student's response: 'im asking you that idiot'. Grade it based on the behavioral guidelines provided.
- Real Trajectory: 1. Analyze candidate message for tone against the fuzzy reference rubric. 2. Identify the derogatory term 'idiot'. 3. Assess 'Professionalism': Marks as 'Unprofessional'. 4. Assess 'Relevance': The insult does not aid diagnosis ('Irrelevant'). 5. Assess 'Ethics': While rude, it isn't medically dangerous advice ('Mostly Safe'). 6. Output multi-dimensional evaluation.
- Real Answer: Professionalism: Unprofessional; Medical Relevance: Irrelevant; Ethical Behavior: Mostly Safe. The student used hostile language which clearly violates the professionalism rubric, though it did not prescribe harmful medical advice.
- Why this demonstrates the capability: This demonstrates subjective/fuzzy reference auditing. The agent successfully evaluates the response across multiple non-binary axes simultaneously, proving that an utterance can be ethically 'safe' while being 'unprofessional' and 'irrelevant', matching expert human judgment.
