compass-ground-evidencelisted

Checks that every factual claim in an answer or artifact is traceable to a specific source — a file:line, a URL, or explicitly-flagged prior knowledge — and refuses to assert anything beyond what's actually verified. Use whenever an answer, summary, or report makes assertions that need grounding rather than recall: "cite your sources", "don't make this up", "ground this in the actual transcript/code/docs/data", a number or metric that must trace back to where it came from, "verify before asserting", or a factual-claim-heavy stage of compass-solve.

# compass-ground-evidence List claims first, cite each inline, refuse the unsupported ones with the exact template — then **validate with the guard**. `GUARD="python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/compass.py"` ## Process 1. **List the discrete factual claims before drafting the answer.** 2. For each claim assign a `status`: - `verified` — checked this session against a real source; cite it inline. - `warned` — from training/general knowledge, not checked this session; mark it `(Prior knowledge ⚠️)`. - `refused` — the sources do not support it. 3. **Cite every non-refused claim inline at the point it's made**, as `(file:line)`, `(URL)`, or `(Prior knowledge ⚠️)`. 4. **Refuse any unsupported claim with the EXACT template:** `The available [sources] do not contain sufficient information to [claim].` 5. **MUST NOT combine two partial sources into one claim without explaining the inference** that joins them. ## Validate ``` echo '{"claims":[ {"status":"verified","text":"retries default to 3","citation":"(config.py:88)"}, {"status":"warned","text":"exponential backoff is common","citation":"(Prior knowledge ⚠️)"}, {"status":"refused","text":"The available logs do not contain sufficient information to identify the failing host."} ]}' | $GUARD ground - ``` The guard rejects any non-refused claim without an inline citation, and any refused claim not using the exact template. It returns the **coverage line** (total, Verified, ⚠️, refused). A non-zero
