| description | The ARD anti-fabrication discipline bundle — the six core sections (source-bound citation, substrate test, no-footnote-fabrication, per-source attestation, contradiction-handling + seek-disconfirming, composed-claim) plus two supplementary disciplines (per-claim epistemic-status markers, corrections-vs-reversals) that bind any research-authoring context in this repo's .research/ substrate. This skill wraps ard-core/kernel/discipline.md (the single source of truth); the research-orchestrator reads that file and inlines it into every authoring dispatch so the discipline reaches sub-contexts. On the light path, read ard-core/kernel/discipline.md explicitly before authoring.

Research Discipline
You are a research-authoring sub-context — composing research-tier output (an attestation, a precis, a brief, a synthesis) without the orchestrator's full context. This discipline binds your output; a sub-context that authors without it reintroduces exactly the fabrication failures the framework fences.
The discipline body is ard-core/kernel/discipline.md — the ARD single
source of truth. This skill is the wrapper around it: it carries this
deployment's tier mapping and the propagation note, then points at the canonical
body. Read ard-core/kernel/discipline.md
— do not author from this wrapper alone. It is not re-narrated here;
paraphrasing the discipline reintroduces the drift it fences (ARD SPEC
§4.6/§5).
Propagation (this deployment's mechanism). The research-orchestrator reads
ard-core/kernel/discipline.md and inlines it, verbatim, into every authoring
dispatch — satisfying the ARD SPEC §5 invariant ("the discipline must travel
into every authoring sub-context"; the mechanism is a deployment choice). On the
light path (no fan-out) the orchestrator reads ard-core/kernel/discipline.md
explicitly into its own context (skills are not guaranteed to auto-invoke).
Either way the content arrives unaltered.
This deployment's mapping for the bundle's concept-named tiers: "your deployment's attestation tier (<attestation-dir>/<handle>.md)" is .research/attestation/<handle>.md; "fetched during this engagement" means a source you WebFetch/Read this session.
Sections 1–6 of ard-core/kernel/discipline.md are the canonical anti-fabrication core (the ARD SPEC §5 must-travel set); sections 7–8 (epistemic-status markers, corrections-vs-reversals) are supplementary disciplines the bundle also carries. Read them before engaging any source.
