PaperLab Scientific Traceability Audit
When to Use
USE WHEN: a textbook chapter contains numbers, equations, figures, tables, or
engineering recommendations that depend on calculations, simulations, standards,
or source documents. This skill turns technical content into auditable content.
Pair with:
neqsim_in_writing for NeqSim claim markers,
neqsim-notebook-patterns for executable notebooks,
neqsim-regression-baselines for stable examples,
neqsim_standard_requirement_extraction for clause-level standards evidence.
Traceability Objects
Track six object types:
| Object |
Required Evidence |
| Numeric claim |
notebook cell, test, baseline, source table, or citation |
| Figure |
source file, notebook, generated script, or approved source document |
| Equation |
symbol definitions, units, source citation, and implementation link if used by NeqSim |
| Table |
data source, units, and update path |
| Standard statement |
standard code, revision, clause or paraphrased requirement |
| Recommendation |
preceding evidence that supports the action |
Marker Rules
Use existing neqsim_in_writing markers for high-value NeqSim-backed content:
<!-- @neqsim:claim
test: src/test/java/neqsim/book/<book_slug>/<TestName>.java
baseline: src/test/resources/baselines/book/<book_slug>/<baseline>.json
-->
<!-- @neqsim:figure source=notebooks/<notebook>.ipynb cell=<cell-id-or-index> -->
<!-- @neqsim:eq method=neqsim.package.ClassName#methodName -->
Do not mark every sentence. Prioritize values and equations that students will
reuse, cite, or compare in exercises.
Audit Workflow
- Run
book-skill-stack-plan and inspect traceability dimensions.
- Run
book-evidence-check and book-figure-dossier.
- For each core chapter, identify the top 3 to 5 numerical or equation-based
claims that deserve markers.
- Confirm every cited notebook exists and has executed output or generated figures.
- Confirm units in prose, tables, and figures match
nomenclature.yaml.
- For standards-heavy chapters, add clause-level or paraphrased evidence rather
than broad standard names.
Pass Criteria
A chapter is traceability-ready when:
- every main figure has source provenance and a discussion block,
- the most important numerical claims have markers or explicit citations,
- all equations define symbols and cite origin or implementation,
- SI units are present in tables and figure axes,
- worked examples have notebooks or tests that can be rerun,
- recommendations are supported by nearby evidence.
Output Pattern
## Scientific Traceability Audit: <chapter>
- Status: ready | needs-markers | needs-validation | blocked
- High-value claims needing markers:
- <claim and location>
- Figures needing stronger provenance:
- <figure>
- Equations needing source or implementation link:
- <equation>
- Unit inconsistencies:
- <quantity>
- Recommended next edit: <one concrete action>
Safety Rules
- Never invent a notebook, test, citation, or standards clause.
- If evidence is missing, mark the claim as unverified or lower confidence.
- Do not claim regulatory compliance from a candidate standards map alone.
- Keep private source filenames out of public outputs unless approved.
