Evidence Linking
Link evidence pages to the causal claims they support or contradict.
Tool
vault_add_edge
Protocol
- Identify the claim (causal edge or claim page) that the evidence addresses
- Determine relationship: supported_by or contradicts
- Call vault_add_edge from evidence page to claim page
- Set weight based on evidence strength (hierarchy: RCT > observational > theoretical)
- Inline wikilink: Ensure the evidence page body contains
[[dir/slug]] pointing to the claim (dir/slug = target path minus .md). Place inline at semantically relevant location. Skip if already present.
HARD-GATE
Evidence must be linked to a specific claim, not to a general topic.
Yield
Returns: { claim: string, evidence: string, relationship: string, weight: number }
