# Gap Finder
## Core Rule
Every claim in a draft is one of three things: **cited**, **the author's own
reasoning/data**, or **common knowledge** for this audience. **Flag everything else.** For a
genuine evidence gap — a claim the argument needs but the library cannot support — the honest
output is a **search direction** (what to look for: keywords, likely venues/years, a
citation-chain to follow), **never a fabricated source** that pretends the gap is closed. "The
argument needs evidence on horizon-scaling of hallucinated tool calls and the library has
none — search ACL 2024–2025 for 'tool-call error rate task horizon'" is the right output; an
invented `\cite{halluc2025}` is the failure the whole kit forbids.
This is the **breadth-first** scan: *what is missing* across a whole draft, fast. It is
deliberately distinct from `/claim-check`, which deep-verifies each cited claim against its
source. Gap-finder finds the holes; claim-check checks the fillings.
## When to Use
Invoke with `/gap-finder` when:
- A full draft (or several sections) exists and you want a fast map of every uncited /
unsupported claim before investing in line-by-line verification.
- Early in revision — to triage where sourcing work is needed before `/claim-check` goes deep.
- After heavy drafting, to catch claims that slipped in without a cite ("I'll find one later"
is how fabrications enter — surface them now).
- Planning a literature-search session — the gaps it emits become the queries for
`/
