Use when the meta-builder routes to kind=discipline. Generates a discipline spell with the rule, excuses table, warning signs, and hard gates.
Use when the user wants to capture a repeatable task as a reusable spell, or asks "how do I build a workflow / skill / framework for X"
Use when the meta-builder routes to kind=subagent. Generates a spell that dispatches one or more subagents to do work in parallel or in isolation.
Use when the meta-builder routes to kind=workflow. Generates a workflow spell with explicit stages, checkpoints, and loop-back conditions.
Use when composing multiple spells into a chain that runs end-to-end (e.g. brainstorm -> plan -> execute -> verify).
Use when browsing what spells are available - bundled seeds, your personal library, or both. Filter by kind, audience, or update status.

Forces every cited claim, statistic, quote, or attribution to be verified against the actual primary source before it appears in writing. Eliminates "secondhand citation drift" — the failure mode where a claim is true at the start of a citation chain but mangled by the third repetition.
A claim that you have personally verified against the primary source, OR an explicit hedge ("according to X, who cites Y, which I have not verified") OR the claim removed.
This is a discipline. The behavioral structure is: a non-negotiable rule (below), an excuses-and-counters table to defeat rationalizations, warning signs to spot the moment of risk, and a hard gate that fires before publishing. Apply the gate at every citation; verify, hedge, or cut.
Every cited claim, quote, statistic, or attribution must be verified against the primary source — opened, read in context — before it leaves your hands. If you cannot, you must hedge explicitly or remove the claim.
| If you think... | Reality |
|---|---|
| "I remember reading this" | Memory drifts. Open the source. |
| "I've cited this before" | The source may have updated, or your prior cite may have been wrong. Open the source. |
| "An AI told me this is from X" | AI-attributed quotes are routinely fabricated or misattributed. Verify or remove. |
| "It's a famous quote, everyone knows it's from X" | Famous quotes are misattributed at the highest rates. Especially these. Verify. |
| "I'm short on time" | The cost of a wrong citation lasts longer than the time to verify it. Verify. |
| "It's a small detail" | Small wrong details destroy credibility for the rest. Verify. |
| "The secondary source seems reliable" | Even reliable secondaries get details wrong. Open the primary. |
| "I'll mark it for fact-check later" | "Later" doesn't happen. Verify now or hedge now or cut now. |
If any answer is no — verify now, or hedge explicitly, or remove. No exceptions.
Without skill: "As Einstein said, 'If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.'"
With skill: STOP. Verify. The quote is widely attributed to Einstein but has no primary source — it's likely a 20th-century paraphrase of Rutherford. Two options:
Either is honest. The verbatim attribution to Einstein is not.
