How it works

research-proof

When your agent uses it

Turn vague research ideas, math-heavy claims, AI-lab style agent loops, benchmark claims, causal claims, prototype-readiness claims, design research, prompt-injection-sensitive evidence reviews, and medical-research style questions into falsifiable proof programs with fixed Claim/Verifier/Current Evidence/Verdict/Ledger headings. Use for research reviews, eval design, proof ladders, frozen verifiers, rejection gates, enemy-term checks, evidence certainty, transfer gates, and proof ledgers.

## Purpose
Turn research work into a proof program: define the object, freeze the verifier, seek counterexamples, and update a ledger as evidence changes. Use the Output Contract headings inside each answer, even for brief yes/no reviews. Sources inspire the method; they do not prove the claim.

## Core Discipline
Start from a falsifiable proposition, not a favorite mechanism:

```text
For domain D and baseline B, candidate family C wins only if metric M improves by delta, guardrails G stay within budget, hidden costs H are charged, and transfer test T survives.
```

Evidence labels: `PROVEN` only inside an explicit verifier; `SUPPORTED` for scoped evidence; `REJECTED` for failed gates; `OPEN` when untested or under-specified. Before implementation, require `Claim`, `Verifier Boundary`, `Baseline / Candidate Family`, `Enemy Terms`, and `Rejection Gates`; if missing, produce them first and stop planning.

## Method Selection
Route by task type, then load the smallest reference that can falsify the claim.

How the signals fit together

Facts from a static read of the files at the pinned commit. They describe what the code does, not why.

Some files could not be read; the facts below still hold.
