Academic Evidence Gates
Nested swiss-knife reference. This ships the writing safeguards, not a paper
fetcher, API cookbook, citation-tracking pipeline, or LaTeX toolchain.
Before writing
- For author–year citations, a References section, related work, or a literature
review, read evidence-verification-gate.md.
Build the verified literature matrix before drafting. Search results are leads,
not citations; label preprints separately. Reduce scope, not verification.
- For empirical methods or results, read
anti-pattern-text-consistency-vs-data-correspondence.md.
Re-open data and runner code and maintain a claim-to-evidence map. Reviewer
agreement proves text consistency, not correspondence with the experiment.
- Use current official publisher, repository, library, or bibliographic sources
to verify provenance. Work only with authorized/open access; do not bypass
paywalls, logins, CAPTCHAs, or bot blocks, or expose credentials. If access is
unavailable, report that limit and ask for an authorized source or handoff.
Never read, store or replay publisher cookies/credentials. A Zotero or
institutional full-text handoff remains human-operated: do not automate its UI
through AppleScript/Accessibility or bypass OS privacy controls, and do not
silently substitute a shadow-library download. Preserve provenance and copy,
rather than move, human-provided originals.
- For source-derived teaching or HTML artifacts, read
html-report for source limits and delivery checks.
The former bundled PDF-fetch scripts, API cards and pipeline recipes are retired.
Do not invoke old installed copies as if they were supported shipped utilities.
