double-checklisted

Use whenever the user asks to double-check, cross-check, verify, recheck, sanity-check, or confirm prior analysis or results — including "are you sure", "are you confident", "is this true", "still true?", "prove it", "triple check", "check against" some artifact, "look again", "repeat the analysis", or "repeat your findings in full". Re-derives the answer from source artifacts and returns it standalone in the original request's structure — never a revision log of the prior turn. Also invoke before re-running any analysis whose output the user has already seen once. To repair a chat where a diff-shaped answer already happened, use the `double-check-align` skill.

# Double-check Re-verify by re-deriving. The deliverable is the verified answer, not a record of how it differs from your last one. Read `references/verification-contract.md` before responding — it is the contract this skill enforces. ## Why the obvious response is wrong Your prior answer sits in the transcript, so re-checking it feels like editing it: keep the numbering, mark each item *holds* / *overstated*, report what changed. But transcript order is not user-adopted state. The user usually has not internalized the prior answer — often the double-check request is itself the signal that they never committed to it. A verdict list against text they never held is unreadable, and inherited scaffolding hides whatever the first pass missed entirely. ## Steps 1. **Recover the request, not the answer.** From the conversation, take the original question, its constraints, and any narrowing the user added since. Prior answers of yours are untrusted scratch — good for recalling which sources exist, never citable as evidence. 2. **Re-derive from source.** Re-open the artifacts — files, issues, specs, data — and rebuild each claim from what they actually say. Verification is performed, not asserted: cite what you re-opened and what it said, or the command you ran and its output. "Verified earlier in this conversation" anchors a claim to transcript position and does not count. 3. **Rebuild the structure.** Outline from the source material and the request,
