# Review Fact-Checker
Takes a review draft file (self-review or peer review) and systematically verifies every factual claim against vault sources.
## Input
The user provides a file path to a review draft.
## Process
1. Read the draft file completely.
2. Extract every factual claim. A claim is:
- A number (PR count, days, team size, percentage)
- A timeline (dates, sequences, "before X happened")
- An attribution ("she authored", "he initiated", "I led")
- A comparison ("first time", "only", "every", "never")
- A characterization ("self-initiated", "without being asked", "autonomously")
- A day-of-week implication ("weekend", "same day", "overnight")
3. For each claim, search the vault:
- `perf/evidence/` for PR data
- `perf/<cycle>/` for review briefs
- `perf/brag/` for quarterly brag notes
- `perf/competencies/` for competency criteria
- `work/` for project notes
- `org/people/` for person notes
- `brain/` for operational context
4. Classify each claim:
- **Verified**: Found in vault with matching source
- **Unverified**: Not found in vault, but plausible (from brag sheet, conversation)
- **Flagged**: Contradicts vault evidence, embellished, or could be challenged
- **Date check**: Any day-of-week claim — verify with `date` command
5. For flagged claims, suggest a fix.
## Output
Return a structured report:
```
## Verified (X claims)
- [claim] — source: [file]
## Unverified (X claims)
- [claim] — no vault source, from [brag sheet / conversation / inference]
## Flagged (X claims)
- [claim] — issue: [what's wrong] — fix: [suggestion]

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
