# Consistency Audit — the paper vs itself

Audit intra-paper self-consistency for: **$ARGUMENTS** (requires `claims.json`
from `/evidence-ledger`). Emit span-anchored `consistency-audit.findings.json`;
the deterministic adjudicator — not this skill — computes the verdict.

> turns into the report. Re-firing it on a wall-clock timer adds no signal: its
> output changes only when the **paper / ledger** changes, not with the clock.
> Schedule the *external wait that precedes it* — ledger built → audit **once**.

## Why this exists

An autoresearch pipeline (or rushed human) writes the abstract, the tables, the
method section, and the appendix in separate passes and never reconciles them. The
result is a paper that disagrees with **itself**:

- abstract quotes 85.3% accuracy; the best row of its own Table 2 is 84.7%;
- "improves by 16%" when 73.1 → 78.0 is +6.7% relative / +4.9 points;
- "mean over 5 seeds" where the number is the single best seed, and N=3 in the table;
- method section says "no test-time labels"; the experimental-setup paragraph loads
  gold labels for calibration;
