# Evidence-backed documentation
**A claim is documentation only when it carries the means to check it.** This skill is
the standard and the map: ten canons, and where each is defined, enforced and seeded.
It is a **navigator, not a second copy**. Every law below has exactly one home — that is
canon 3, and a navigator that restated the doctrine would break the rule it is indexing.
The full statement of each canon, its rationale and its enforcement live in
[`documentation.md`](../task-pipeline/references/documentation.md) → *The canons*.
## The ten canons
1. **A claim carries its address** — `file:line`, a command with its output, a test name; a lesson names its commit.
2. **Numbers are computed, never restated.**
3. **Every fact has exactly one home** — others link, never restate.
4. **A reference resolves from where the document is read** — not from where it lives.
5. **Green nobody watched turn red is not evidence.**
6. **A check proves its scope and nothing beyond it.**
7. **Silence is not a pass** — ask what a mechanism prints when it did not look.
8. **An estimate is never announced as a measurement** — a rule states its evidence condition.
9. **What was not checked is printed beside what was.**
- **9a. A measured zero and an unmeasured quantity may not print the same** — canon 9 says carry the absence; 9a says refuse the number when nothing measured it.
10. **The document ships in the change that made it true** — and a correction is appended, never written over.
