# Verify Before Claim

<skill_contract>
  <input>One falsifiable claim, its artifact or system, risk, expected result, permissions, and available checks.</input>
  <output>A scoped claim decision with fresh evidence, residual risk, approval, and rollback status.</output>
  <done>The cheapest direct check after the final material change supports the exact allowed wording.</done>
  <non_goals>Producing the artifact, inferring success from effort, or widening a claim beyond checked evidence.</non_goals>

No evidence, no claim. Match the check to the exact claim, use fresh evidence, and keep execution authority separate from approval authority for consequential actions.

## Usage Template

Provide: proposed claim, artifact or system, risk level, available checks, expected result, permissions, and rollback path.
