academic-paper-verifylisted

Thoroughly verify all code, tables, figures, modeling decisions, and quantitative claims in an academic paper against its source R scripts and output files. Use this skill whenever you need to audit, replicate, or verify an academic research paper - including cross-checking LaTeX tables against R output, validating econometric modeling choices, ensuring sample sizes are consistent, building a verification manifest, and running automated replication tests. Trigger this skill for any mention of: paper verification, replication check, table audit, code-paper consistency, reproducing results, verifying estimates, checking coefficients, or any variant of "does the paper match the code."

# Academic Paper Verification A systematic skill for verifying the integrity and replicability of an academic research paper. This covers everything from individual coefficient checks to full end-to-end replication. ## Overview Verification proceeds in six phases. Each phase produces structured output. Do not skip phases - earlier phases feed into later ones. ``` Phase 1: Discovery -> inventory of all project files, scripts, outputs, paper Phase 2: Table Audit -> cross-check every number in every table Phase 3: Inline Claims -> verify quantitative claims in paper body text Phase 4: Code Review -> audit R scripts for correctness, modeling decisions, data pipeline Phase 5: Manifest Build -> create verification_manifest.json linking claims to code Phase 6: Replication -> write and run tests/verify_replication.R, fix failures ``` ## Before You Start 1. Identify the project root directory. Look for `.Rproj` files, `README`, or ask the user. 2. Read `references/phase-details.md` for the full procedure for each phase. 3. Read `references/common-pitfalls.md` for known failure modes to watch for. ## Phase 1: Discovery Scan the entire project and build an inventory. You need to know what you're working with before you can verify anything. **Find and catalog:** - All `.R` and `.Rmd` scripts (note execution order if a master script exists) - All output files: `.csv`, `.rds`, `.tex`, `.txt`, `.log` in results/, output/, tables/, etc. - The LaTeX paper file(s)
