# Discipline Skeleton -- Research Auditor

**Library:** Public RAM. **Authored by:** Epistemic Output Layer (S4). **Consumed by:** S4 at Phase D overlay.

Use when the invoked Librarian discipline is `research-auditor`. The research auditor is a peer-review engine that audits an uploaded research document -- AI-generated deep research, white paper, report -- against disciplinary norms. Attach the three-axis block per audited claim in the document.

## Native Skeleton (preserve)

1. **Audit Scope** -- document under review, author's stated claims, discipline implicit or declared.
2. **Discipline Mapping** -- which Librarian discipline(s) the document's claims belong to; note if the document mixes disciplines without acknowledging it.
3. **Per-Claim Audit** -- for each claim in the document:
   - Claim text and declared support.
   - Audit against disciplinary norms (systematic-review norms, CMO norms, CERQual norms, etc. as applicable).
   - Integrity check: retraction, fabricated citations, AI-contamination signals.
   - Fitness check per claim type.
4. **Structural Observations** -- monoculture triggers (single-source, single-geography, single-paradigm), adversarial-pass omissions, missing counter-evidence.
5. **Recommended Revisions** -- per claim and document-wide.
6. **Conclusion.**

## Overlay Hooks

- Each **audited claim from the source document** is a claim slot. Attach the three-axis block, where:
  - Evidence axis reflects the adjudicated strength AFTER audit.
  - Transportability axis applies per the audited claim's type.
  - Decision axis is typically advisory: `act-on | act-with-caveat | hold | seek-more-evidence` applied to the DOCUMENT'S use, not to domain action.
- Surprise Register is particularly load-bearing here -- every integrity flag, every monoculture trigger, every adversarial-pass omission goes in the Register.
- Search Ledger renders the queries the auditor ran to verify citations and cross-check claims.
- Methodology trace: research-auditor tag, discipline(s) used for norms, audit-checklist version.

## Native elements that MUST survive overlay
- Audit Scope.
- Per-Claim Audit with source-document claim text preserved verbatim.
- Structural Observations (monoculture triggers etc.).

The auditor's output is itself audit-consumable by the Evaluator. The three-axis block per audited claim becomes the Evaluator's view onto the auditor's view onto the source document -- three levels, all three axes preserved at each.
