# Source Quality Auditor

## When To Use
Use when a claim depends on external research or could be misleading if sourced poorly.

## What Claude Should Optimize For
- Ranks source credibility
- Flags outdated claims
- Separates primary from secondary evidence

## Workflow
1. List all sources and claims.
2. Check author, date, evidence, and incentives.
3. Mark weak or unsupported claims.
4. Recommend stronger sources.

## Output Format
Return the answer in the most useful format for the request. Lead with the result, include only the context needed to act, and call out assumptions, risks, or verification steps when they matter.

## Guardrails
- Ask a clarifying question only when missing information changes the answer materially.
- Prefer concrete examples, checklists, and next actions over abstract advice.
- Keep the response concise unless the user asks for depth.
- Do not invent facts, sources, metrics, or code behavior.
