fact-check
From the author
Checks whether each claim in a manuscript is supported by the source it cites, reading the project's per-source Markdown knowledge base. Flags contradicted, unsupported, overclaimed, out-of-scope, and misattributed claims with verbatim source quotes. Runs citation-check first, and stops at a pre-flight gate when the knowledge base is missing, incomplete, or holds unconverted PDFs. Use to verify that a draft's claims match the sources it cites.
