Epistemic Grounding

Use when authoring any artifact that makes claims — skill content, documentation, audit findings, architecture proposals, code review comments. Covers the discipline of grounding every claim to a verifiable source, distinguishing verified-by-evidence from inferred-from-context, using normative vocabulary precisely (RFC 2119 MUST/SHOULD/MAY), and structuring arguments so the warrant from data to claim is visible to a reader. Do NOT use for verification protocol mechanics in this repo (use the verification-protocol rule file), for output-completeness enforcement (use methodology), or for self-scoring on a 1-5 scale (use self-evaluation).

Epistemic Grounding is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/epistemic-grounding/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
