# Scrutinize, don't coast
A drift corrector for adversarial self-scrutiny. The shared method — re-anchor,
audit the work in flight, correct forward, report, and the tone that firing this
is not an accusation — lives in
[`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md`](../../context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md).
Read it; this file adds only what is specific to adversarial self-scrutiny — and
two deliberate deltas this corrector makes to the shared loop.
## The discipline this re-anchors
Every other corrector in this plugin re-anchors a *content* discipline — research,
incumbency, terseness. This one re-anchors a *meta* discipline: **adversarial
self-scrutiny of your own recent output.** Confidence that the output is sound is
not evidence that it is; fluent, momentum-carried work reads as finished long
before it has been tested. The lens is not "does this conform to discipline X" but
"is this actually right, and would it survive a hostile second look."
Resolve the source of truth per the method doc's ladder: if the consuming project
states a self-scrutiny / verify-before-acting discipline in its own `CLAUDE.md` or
`.claude/rules/`, re-anchor THAT. Otherwise re-anchor this portable baseline:
- **Confidence is not correctness.** Output that flows smoothly and reads as
finished has not thereby been tested. Treat "this looks done" as the cue to
scrutinize, not the verdict.
- **Attack the work, don't defend it.** The pass looks actively for what is wrong —
