Verified drafting

Ask for a document by what it is (a related-work section, a literature-review chapter, an introduction, a rebuttal), and the agent writes it as a named document in drafts/.

Write a verified related-work section on graph neural networks for drug discovery, numeric citations.

How a verified draft is made

1. Retrieve. The agent searches your library for the passages it needs. Only sources it has opened (read, viewed, or summarized) can be cited.
2. Write. It plans the sections and writes each in Markdown, attaching the exact passage behind every factual claim.
3. Verify. Every cited sentence, and every factual cell of every table, is checked against the passage it cites, in parallel.

The verdicts

Verdict	Meaning
supported	Every part of the claim follows from the cited passage, backed by a word-for-word quote.
partial	Some of the claim is supported, or the claim is stronger than the evidence (“proves” vs “suggests”).
unsupported	The cited passage doesn’t support the claim, or the citation is invalid.
uncited	No citation: the author’s own position. Counted, never verified.

The rule behind supported is strict and enforced in code: the check must quote the source verbatim, and the quote must really appear in the cited passage (ignoring only spacing, case, and curly-vs-straight punctuation). If it doesn’t, the sentence is downgraded to partial. Numbers must match exactly, and when in doubt the weaker verdict wins.

Headings are never verified. Each draft ends with a tally, for example Verification: 18 supported · 2 partial · 1 unsupported · 3 uncited.

Reading a draft

In the chat, the draft view colors each sentence by its verdict:

• Hover a sentence to see the verbatim quote that backs it.
• Click it to open the source pane: the passage with the quote highlighted, the source’s grade, and the PDF at the cited page.

If a source file was edited or removed after the draft was written, its passages show This passage is no longer in the library. Revise the draft to re-check those sentences.

Revising

Ask for changes in plain words: “shorten section 2”, “add a comparison table”, “fix the unsupported sentences”. Using the same document name revises the same file in place, and sentences you didn’t change keep their verdicts without being checked again. The draft’s version number goes up with each revision; earlier versions aren’t kept as separate files.

Tables

Comparison tables and extraction matrices are verified cell by cell, like sentences. If you ask for a table and the first pass doesn’t produce one, the agent runs a dedicated table pass.

Citation style

Numeric [1] is the default. Ask for author–year to get citations like (Hooker et al., 2020). Bibliographies are always built from the registry records, never written by the model.

Plain documents

Not everything needs citations. For emails, motivation letters, outlines, statements, or conversation summaries, the agent writes a plain document, with no verification, no verdict colors, and no export gate. A draft also falls back to plain when there’s nothing citable to draw on yet; the agent tells you when that happens. To turn a plain document into a verified one, ask for it explicitly.

Where drafts live

File	What it is
drafts/<name>.md	the working draft, with [n] markers, references, and the verdict tally
drafts/<name>.html	a reading view with linked citations and an optional verification overlay
drafts/<name>.json	data the app uses to revise and export

The Files panel shows only the .md. Use the PDF button on it to print or save a PDF.

Limits that keep runs sane

In one turn the agent creates at most 3 new documents, and runs at most 3 write-and-verify passes per document. If it hits a limit it tells you; send another message to continue.
