# Paper Citation and Claims Verifier
Use when auditing a paper draft for numerical accuracy, stale references, and
unsubstantiated claims. Traces every number and assertion back to actual result files
on disk.
**Trigger:** When user types `/cite-check` with an optional file path.
## Iron Law
```
NO NUMBER IN THE PAPER WITHOUT A TRACEABLE DATA SOURCE
```
## Arguments
- `$ARGUMENTS` — optional: path to paper draft file. Defaults to `docs/paper_draft.md`.
## Anti-Rationalization Table
| Excuse | Reality |
|--------|---------|
| "The numbers are approximately right" | Reviewers check exact numbers. "Approximately" gets your paper rejected |
| "I'll update the numbers before submission" | Stale numbers propagate — every draft review builds intuition on wrong data |
| "Only the final version matters" | SC papers are reviewed once. There is no "fix it later" after submission |
| "The trend is correct even if the number is off" | A wrong number undermines trust in every other number in the paper |
## Red Flags — STOP and Escalate
- A percentage or count in the paper that does not match any result file on disk
- A reference to a model that has been dropped from the campaign (e.g., azure-gpt-4.1)
- A table or figure referenced in text that does not exist in the draft
- A claim about "all models" or "all kernels" that actually excludes some
- A speedup ratio cited from wall-clock timing (known to be unreliable — see known-issues.md)
If any red flag triggers: mark the claim as
