# Data Fidelity

Activates when research documents need verification, fact-checking, or data updates.

## When to Use

- After initial research documents are written (quality gate before publish)
- When refreshing documents with current data (market prices, company stats)
- When a user says "check for errors", "verify claims", "fact check", "add fidelity"

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Fact-Check Fleet
Launch 2-3 parallel fact-checker agents, each covering a different document range:
- Agent A: docs 01-12
- Agent B: docs 13-24
- Agent C: forward-looking/speculative docs (if any)

### Phase 2: Aggregate Findings
Collect reports. Categorize by severity:
- **ERROR** — factually wrong, must fix
- **QUESTIONABLE** — might be wrong, needs verification
- **INCONSISTENCY** — contradicts another document

### Phase 3: Data Refresh
Launch market-researcher agents for current pricing, company data, and industry stats.

### Phase 4: Apply Corrections
Systematic edit pass:
1. Fix all ERRORs first
2. Resolve INCONSISTENCYs (pick the correct value, update all occurrences)
3. Update data with fresh market research
4. Flag QUESTIONABLE items that couldn't be resolved

### Phase 5: Rebuild
If documents have HTML/PDF output, rebuild after corrections:
```bash
bash build.sh
```

## Quality Standards

- Every numerical claim should have a source or explicit reasoning
- Cross-document consistency: same number must be the same everywhere
- Dates should be specific (not "recently" — say "March 2026")
- Company names should be current (post-merger names, current HQ)
- Legal citations should include statute number (USC, CFR, RCW)

Skill	Description
3d-interaction-design	Design heuristics for three-dimensional interaction — input modalities (6DoF controllers, gaze, gesture, voice), selection and manipulation techniques (ray-cast, virtual hand, go-go, world-in-miniature), navigation (teleport, continuous, redirected walking), and feedback loops (haptic, audio, visual). Covers Fitts' law in 3D, discoverability vs affordance, safe-zone design, and comfort/simulator sickness mitigation. Use when designing VR/AR interactions, immersive walkthroughs, or any input system where the user's body is the controller.
accessibility-patterns	Provides web accessibility best practices for semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and screen reader patterns. Use when building UI components, reviewing accessibility, or when user mentions 'a11y', 'accessibility', 'ARIA', 'screen reader', 'keyboard navigation', 'WCAG'.
active-listening	Active listening techniques for effective communication. Covers attending behaviors, paraphrasing, reflective listening, clarifying questions, empathic response, barriers to listening, listening in conflict, and cross-cultural listening. Use when building listening skills, improving understanding in conversation, mediating disputes, or analyzing communication breakdowns.
adversarial-pr-review	Adversarial spec-compliance PR review — cross-references diffs against approved specs, verifies runtime claims against source, detects competing PRs, audits scope/convention compliance. Use before merging.
agile-methods	Agile and Lean software development methodologies for iterative, adaptive project execution. Covers Scrum (roles, ceremonies, artifacts), Kanban (WIP limits, flow metrics), XP (TDD, pair programming, CI), SAFe overview, Lean Software Development (Poppendieck's 7 principles), user stories (INVEST criteria), estimation via story points and velocity, and the Agile Manifesto's values and principles. Includes Cynefin framework for methodology selection and GSD's relationship to Agile as a structured Lean variant.
algebraic-reasoning	Symbolic manipulation, equation solving, and algebraic structures for mathematical reasoning. Covers distributive law, factoring, completing the square, linear through polynomial equation solving, systems of equations (substitution, elimination, Gaussian elimination, matrix methods), algebraic structures (groups, rings, fields), modular arithmetic, polynomial theory, and inequalities. Use when solving equations, simplifying expressions, working with algebraic structures, or performing symbolic manipulation.
algorithmic-awareness	Understanding how algorithmic systems shape what users see, know, and do -- from recommendation feeds to search ranking to credit scoring to hiring software. Covers the mechanics of recommendation systems, algorithmic bias and its sources, personalization's effects on information diets, opacity and accountability, AI limitations (hallucination, confident wrongness), and the human-in-the-loop question. Use when a learner needs to think critically about why particular content reached them.
algorithms-data-structures	Algorithms and data structures from first principles through advanced analysis. Covers sorting (bubble, insertion, selection, merge, quick, heap, radix), searching (linear, binary, BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, A*), fundamental data structures (arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, trees, heaps, graphs, tries), complexity analysis (Big-O, Big-Omega, Big-Theta, amortized), recurrence relations, and algorithm design paradigms (divide-and-conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, backtracking). Use when analyzing, selecting, implementing, or comparing algorithms and data structures.
aminet-browser	Aminet search and browse: full-text search, category tree navigation, architecture filtering, package detail, and curated collections. Use when searching, browsing, or managing package collections.
aminet-emulator	FS-UAE emulator configuration and launch: hardware profiles, ROM management, WHDLoad integration, config generation, and state snapshots. Use when configuring emulation, managing ROMs, or launching Amiga software.
