Wiki Audit

Verify a single wiki page against its cited sources. Two phases: detect uncited factual claims, then verify cited claims by dispatching one subagent per source in parallel.

Pre-condition

Find

SCHEMA.md

(search from cwd upward, or

~/wikis/

). If not found, tell the user to run

wiki-init

first. Read

SCHEMA.md

for the wiki root path and the Citations section (the rules and footnote format the audit enforces).

If
SCHEMA.md
has no Citations section (older wiki, initialized before this skill existed): use the fallback convention below for this run, and offer at the end to append the Citations section to

SCHEMA.md

so future operations stay consistent.

Cite every non-common-knowledge factual claim. Granularity is paragraph or claim,
never per-sentence. Format: Markdown footnotes. Two citation kinds:

Quote:     [^N]: <target> <locator> — "<verbatim quote>"
Synthesis: [^N]: <target> <locator> [synthesis] — <what supports the claim>

Three rules:
1. Target is one of: [[source-slug]] (a source-type wiki page), raw/<file> or
   assets/<file> (a local file path), or a URL. Never an entity / concept /
   analysis page.
2. A locator is present (§section, p.N, [HH:MM:SS], URL anchor, dated post).
3. Either a verbatim quote, or the [synthesis] tag plus a description of what
   the cited range supports.

If the user did not name a page, ask which page to audit. Accept slug, filename, or absolute path. Resolve to

wiki/pages/<slug>.md

. Audit one page per run.

Process

1. Read the target page

Read the full page. Note:

The frontmatter
```
sources:
```
list (which sources the page formally cites).
All footnote definitions (
```
[^N]: ...
```
) and references (
```
[^N]
```
in body text).

If the page has zero footnotes but contains factual content, that is itself the audit result — every claim becomes a Phase A finding. Still run Phase A; skip Phase B.

2. Phase A — uncited claim detection (1 subagent)

Dispatch one subagent. Give it:

The full page contents.
The Citations section copied from
```
SCHEMA.md
```
.
The page's
```
sources:
```
list.

Task: list every non-common-knowledge factual claim that lacks a footnote. Return a structured list of

(line number, claim text, suggested-source-from-the-sources-list-or-"unknown")

The subagent applies the SCHEMA.md "what to cite" rule: paragraph- or claim-level granularity, common knowledge exempt.

3. Phase B — cited claim verification (N subagents, parallel)

For every footnote definition in the page, parse:

The target — one of
```
[[source-slug]]
```
, a path under
```
raw/
```
/
```
assets/
```
, or a URL.
The locator (§section, p.N, timestamp, URL anchor, dated post).
Either the verbatim quote or the
```
[synthesis]
```
description.

Resolve each target to readable content:

```
[[source-slug]]
```
→ read
```
wiki/pages/<source-slug>.md
```
to find the raw file path (in its
```
**Source:**
```
line). Then read that raw file from
```
raw/
```
or
```
assets/
```
.
```
raw/<file>
```
or
```
assets/<file>
```
→ read the file directly.
```
<URL>
```
→ check whether a cached copy exists in
```
assets/
```
(filename derived from URL). If yes, read it. If not, mark the footnote
```
🚫 source-missing
```
(do not re-fetch — that belongs in the fix step).

Any target that cannot be resolved gets verdict

🚫 source-missing

; do not dispatch a subagent for it.

Group resolvable footnotes by their resolved file (multiple footnotes against the same PDF read it once). Dispatch one subagent per file, in parallel using the

Agent

tool. Each subagent gets:

The raw source content (from
```
raw/
```
,
```
assets/
```
, or cached URL).
The list of footnotes against that source — for each: number, locator, and either the verbatim quote or the
```
[synthesis]
```
description.
The verdict rubric below.

Each subagent returns, per footnote, one verdict and a 1-line note:

```
✅ supported
```
— quote string-matches the source at the cited locator, or the
```
[synthesis]
```
description honestly summarizes the cited range.
```
❌ unsupported
```
— quote not found at the cited locator, or the claim is contradicted by the source.
```
⚠️ partial
```
— quote is paraphrased rather than verbatim (and lacks the
```
[synthesis]
```
tag), or the synthesis description overstates the cited range.

For ❌ and ⚠️, the note must include what the source actually says, so the user can decide how to fix.

Why per-source, not per-footnote: PDFs are expensive to read. One read of a 30-page paper for five footnotes beats five reads.

4. Write the audit report

Always write — do not ask permission. Path:

wiki/pages/audit-<page-slug>-<today>.md

markdown

---
title: Audit Report — <page-slug> — <today>
tags: [audit, maintenance]
sources: []
updated: <today>
---

# Audit Report — [[<page-slug>]] — <today>

## Summary
- Cited claims verified: N
- ✅ Supported: N    ❌ Unsupported: N    ⚠️ Partial: N    🚫 Source missing: N
- 🆘 Uncited factual claims: N

## 🆘 Uncited Claims (Phase A)
- Line 42: "Transformers replaced LSTMs as the default sequence model."
  Suggested source: [[attention-is-all-you-need]] or unknown
  Fix: add footnote, weaken claim, or remove

## ❌ Unsupported (Phase B)
- [^3]: claims "8 attention heads with 128 dims each"
  Source says: "h = 8 parallel attention layers ... d_k = d_v = 64"
  Fix: correct the dimension to 64

## ⚠️ Partial (Phase B)
- [^7]: [synthesis] description says "compares to RNNs across 4 benchmarks"
  Source range covers 2 benchmarks, not 4. Tighten the description.

## 🚫 Source Missing
- [^5]: https://example.com/post — no cached copy in assets/
  Fix: re-fetch source, or remove citation

## ✅ Supported
- [^1], [^2], [^4], [^6], [^8] — all verified

Add the report to

wiki/index.md

under the

Maintenance

category (create the category if it does not yet exist —

wiki-lint

uses the same category).

5. Offer concrete fixes

For each non-empty category, offer one at a time:

🆘 Uncited: "Search the page's
```
sources:
```
list for support and propose footnotes for these claims?"
❌ Unsupported: "Apply the corrections shown in the report? (I'll show diffs first.)"
⚠️ Partial: "Tighten the synthesis descriptions, or add the
```
[synthesis]
```
tag where missing? (diffs first.)"
🚫 Source missing: "Re-fetch URLs / locate misplaced PDFs back into
```
raw/
```
?"

Apply only after user confirmation. Show the exact diff before each write.

6. Append to

wiki/log.md

Always append — do not ask permission:

## [<today>] audit | [[<page-slug>]] — N supported, N unsupported, N partial, N uncited
Report: [[audit-<page-slug>-<today>]]
Fixed: <list, or "none">

7. Report to user

Audit report:
```
wiki/pages/audit-<page-slug>-<today>.md
```
One-line verdict (e.g. "5/8 cited claims verified, 2 uncited claims found")
Whether any fixes were applied
