Ground Every Claim

Audit a doc, PR description, or answer for unsourced assertions and replace each hedge with a cited artifact — file:line, command output, or URL — until nothing rests on inference.

An evidence-grounding pass over any prose deliverable (answer, PR body, design doc). Each iteration locates one hedged or memory-based claim, verifies it against a real artifact, and rewrites it to carry that citation. The loop exits only when no hedging language remains and every surviving claim points at a checkable source — not a recalled prior.

Loop

Goal
every factual claim in the target text is backed by a verifiable citation (file:line, command output, or URL) with no hedging language left unresolved
Exit when
the check prints NO_HEDGES and every remaining claim cites a file:line, command output, or URL

Check between iterations

grep -rniE "\b(i think|probably|i believe|should be|presumably|likely|maybe|seems? to|as far as i know|iirc)\b" "$TARGET" || echo NO_HEDGES

Kickoff prompt

Start the "Ground Every Claim" loop. Goal: every factual claim in the target text is backed by a verifiable citation (file:line, command output, or URL) with no hedging language left unresolved Max iterations: 8 Between iterations run: grep -rniE "\b(i think|probably|i believe|should be|presumably|likely|maybe|seems? to|as far as i know|iirc)\b" "$TARGET" || echo NO_HEDGES Exit when: the check prints NO_HEDGES and every remaining claim cites a file:line, command output, or URL Step 1: List every factual claim in the target text and flag the ones asserted from memory rather than a checked artifact, then verify and re-cite the first flagged claim.
