- description:
- Finds and cites a primary source for each substacker draft claim — original arXiv paper, official documentation, RFC, canonical textbook. Source hierarchy enforced: primary > secondary > tertiary > not-a-source. Records URL, title, passage/result that settles the claim. Use after classify-claim; runs once per claim unless classification is simplified-correct with high confidence on standard undergrad material. Trigger keywords: cross-reference, primary source, citation, arXiv, RFC, paper lookup, source hierarchy.
Cross-Reference Claim
Source hierarchy (enforced)
- Primary: original arXiv paper, official docs (PyTorch, CUDA, Linux), RFC, ACM/IEEE proceedings, canonical textbook (Deep Learning Goodfellow et al., DDIA Kleppmann, Jurafsky & Martin).
- Secondary: author's own blog/slides when they are the primary authority; well-maintained official implementation source.
- Tertiary: Wikipedia (orientation only, never as the cite).
- Not a source: random blog posts, Medium, X threads, unreviewed tutorials, other LLM outputs.
Workflow
Per claim:
- [ ] Step 1: WebSearch with claim + likely source terms
- [ ] Step 2: WebFetch top candidate; extract specific result/passage
- [ ] Step 3: If paywalled, fall back one tier; note fallback explicitly
- [ ] Step 4: If nothing authoritative within 10 min on one claim, mark could-not-verify
- [ ] Step 5: Return {url, title, passage_or_result, tier}
Guardrails
- Never cite a blog post as primary.
- Never cite model's own recall as source.
- Never invent a URL.
could-not-verifywith attempted-queries is better than fabrication. - 48h wall-clock cap is enforced at the agent level; per-claim cap is 10 minutes of research.
could-not-verifydoesn't block GO. It lands in the Could-Not-Verify section of the review; the writer decides whether to ship anyway.- Primary source must contain the specific result/passage — not a reference to a result. Fetch the paper, not a blog that cites the paper.

--- name: advisory-edit description: A strict advisory-only editing discipline for a writer who dictates ("speaks out") essays and wants help WITHOUT having their voice changed. The editor directs structure, flags grammar, and suggests strategic language — but never modifies the writer's text unless the writer explicitly says "apply" / "make that change" / "rewrite this." Produces a line-referenced, suggestion-only critique where every item is marked the writer's call. Four passes: structural, l

lyndonkl/strategist-voice
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Provides the house style for analyst-grade strategist writing — third-person register with sparing first-person, no em dashes, no "not X, not Y, not Z" negation cascades, numbered footnote citations rather than inline source parentheticals, specific opinion-signaling phrases, and topic-forward paragraph structure modeled on voice patterns observed in Damodaran's Musings on Markets and Thompson's Stratechery. Use when consolidating working notes into a finished long-form strategist or analyst report that must read as written by a senior human analyst rather than an AI assistant.

lyndonkl/markdown-to-pdf
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Renders a markdown report to a PDF using pandoc with xelatex (11pt serif body, 1-inch margins, numbered footnotes, formal heading hierarchy). Requires a one-time install of pandoc and a LaTeX engine on the user's machine — basictex on macOS or texlive-xetex on Linux. Does not attempt automatic install. Fails loudly with the exact install commands if pandoc or xelatex is missing on the user's PATH. Use when producing a finished strategist or analyst report PDF from a polished markdown source.

lyndonkl/worked-example-walkthrough
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Produces step-by-step computational walkthroughs of vector and matrix operations as a sequence of numbered "frames", showing the explicit state at each step. The text-equivalent of a 3Blue1Brown animation — each frame shows what changed and why, so the learner can re-trace the operation by hand. Use when the learner needs to *see* a computation unfold (eigenvalue computation, attention with 3 tokens, gradient descent step, SVD on a 2×2, layer norm on a 3-vector, softmax of a small input), when an explanation has been given but the learner needs to ground it in a worked example, or when introducing an operation that's intimidating in symbol form but trivial in pencil-and-paper form.
