name: credible-claims
description: Research-brief + claim-record discipline for delegated or AI-assisted research work. Use when starting any substantive research task or long autonomous run (write the brief first), and when reporting results that will support a claim in a paper or decision (produce the claim record). Keeps faster execution from being confused with credible evidence.

This skill's instructions live in [`.claude/skills/credible-claims/SKILL.md`](../../../.claude/skills/credible-claims/SKILL.md).
Read that file now and follow it, with the files it points to. Read [`AGENTS.md`](../../../AGENTS.md)
first if you have not already.

It was written for Claude Code. Running it from Codex, Antigravity or another agent:

- **Arguments.** Where it says `$ARGUMENTS`, use what the user asked for.
- **Claude Code agents.** Where a step hands work to an agent in `.claude/agents/` (through the
  `Agent` or `Task` tool), read that agent's file and do the step yourself after the main work.
  Tell the user the step was not an independent review: the same agent did both.
- **Claude Code settings.** `allowed-tools`, `model`, `effort`, `argument-hint` and
  `disable-model-invocation` in the source's frontmatter configure Claude Code. Ignore them.
- **Guards.** Claude Code's guard hooks do not run for you. Follow the rules in `AGENTS.md`
  yourself; the git pre-commit gate and CI still apply to your commits.
