Cross-Reference Integrity Audit

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

Ensure gates and procedures link to other procedures that provide the needed answer-interface and next steps. Broken or missing cross-references mean executors hit dead ends.

Steps

Step 1: Extract References

From the target artifact, extract:

All ”→ INVOKE:” references that mention a procedure name
All “see also” or “related” procedure mentions
All file path references to other procedures
All implicit references (“use the evaluation from…” without naming it)

Step 2: Verify Reference Existence

For each reference:

Reference	Target	Exists?	Accessible?
[reference text]	[what it points to]	Y/N	Y/N

If a reference points to a non-existent procedure: flag as BROKEN.

Step 3: Verify Answer-Interface Match

For each existing reference, check: does the referenced procedure provide what the referrer needs?

Referrer Needs	Referenced Provides	Match?
Definition (what does X mean?)	[what it actually provides]	Y/N
Observation (what to look for?)	[what it actually provides]	Y/N
Measurement (what metric?)	[what it actually provides]	Y/N
Provenance (what source?)	[what it actually provides]	Y/N
Decision (what choice?)	[what it actually provides]	Y/N

If the referenced procedure doesn’t provide what the referrer needs: flag as MISMATCHED.

Step 4: Identify Missing References

Check for places where a cross-reference SHOULD exist but doesn’t:

Steps that say “evaluate” without pointing to an evaluation procedure
Gates that require information without saying where to get it
Decision points without linking to decision procedures
“Verify” steps without linking to verification methods
Steps that produce output without saying where it goes next

Step 5: Propose Fixes

For each issue:

Issue	Type	Fix
[reference]	broken	[correct target or remove]
[reference]	mismatched	[better target or note the gap]
[location]	missing	[add reference to: procedure_name]

Step 6: Report

CROSS-REFERENCE INTEGRITY:
Target: [what was audited]
References found: [N]
  Intact: [N]
  Broken: [N]
  Mismatched: [N]
Missing references: [N]

Issues:
| # | Location | Issue | Severity | Fix |
|---|----------|-------|----------|-----|
| 1 | [where] | [what's wrong] | [H/M/L] | [how to fix] |

Integrity score: [intact / (intact + broken + mismatched)]%

When to Use

When adding new procedures or gates
When a file asks questions without providing an evaluation path
When cross-references drift or break
→ INVOKE: /sapea (executability audit) for deeper procedure quality checks
→ INVOKE: /pv (procedure validation) for overall procedure quality

Verification

All references extracted (explicit and implicit)
Each reference checked for existence
Answer-interface match verified for existing references
Missing references identified
Fixes proposed for all issues
