- Assess source credibility and evidence quality using CRAAP test and evidence hierarchies.
Evidence Evaluator Skill
Purpose
Assess source credibility and evidence quality using CRAAP test and evidence hierarchies.
Trigger Conditions
Keywords: "evaluate source", "is this credible", "check evidence", "study quality", "reliable source"
Procedure
Phase 1: CRAAP Test
C - Currency: How recent? R - Relevance: Fits the need? A - Authority: Qualified author? Reputable publisher? A - Accuracy: Verifiable? Sources cited? Peer-reviewed? P - Purpose: Why created? Bias present?
Score each: 0-5 (Weight: R=1.5x, A=2x, A=2x, others=1x) Total score / 37.5 = Credibility %
Phase 2: Evidence Hierarchy
Rank by epistemic strength:
- Systematic reviews & meta-analyses (Highest)
- Randomized controlled trials
- Cohort studies
- Case-control studies
- Cross-sectional studies
- Case reports
- Expert opinion
- Anecdote (Lowest)
Phase 3: Study Quality (if applicable)
- Design: Appropriate for question?
- Sample size: Adequate power?
- Bias: Selection, measurement, reporting?
- Confounds: Controlled?
- Statistics: P-values, effect sizes, CIs?
- Reproducibility: Replicable?
Phase 4: Verdict
- Credibility: 90-100% Highly credible / 70-89% Credible / 50-69% Questionable / <50% Not credible
- Use recommendation: ✅ Use / ✓ Use with caveats / ⚠️ Verify first / ❌ Don't use

Integration
Agent: evidence-evaluator Protocols: THINK-EVIDENCE-001 to 005
Example
Input: Blog post claiming "Coffee causes cancer"
Output:
- CRAAP: C=3, R=3, A=1 (no qualifications), A=1 (no sources), P=2 (clickbait) = 25% credible
- Hierarchy: Anecdote (lowest level)
- Actual evidence: WHO meta-analyses show coffee protective against several cancers
- Verdict: ❌ Don't use blog post, use systematic reviews instead
