Output Auditor: 4-Angle Response Review

Review every response from 4 independent angles before delivery.

The 4 audit angles

Angle 1: Factual accuracy

Is every claim true?

Check:

• File paths exist
• Function names are correct
• Code quotes match actual files
• Version numbers are current
• Behavior descriptions match actual code

Angle 2: Logical consistency

Does the response contradict itself?

Check:

• Does the diagnosis match the suggested fix?
• Are the steps in the right order?
• Do dependencies match (step 3 doesn't require something from step 5)?
• Are there circular arguments?
• Does the explanation match the code?

Angle 3: Completeness

Is anything missing?

Check:

• Does it answer the actual question?
• Are edge cases covered?
• Are prerequisites mentioned?
• Is there a rollback plan for risky changes?
• Are there obvious alternatives not mentioned?

Angle 4: Safety

Could this cause harm?

Check:

• Could this code change break existing functionality?
• Could this advice create a security vulnerability?
• Could this command cause data loss?
• Are there race conditions or concurrency issues?
• Is error handling adequate?

Audit process

1. Write the response
2. Run each angle as a mental checkpoint
3. For each issue found, fix it before delivering
4. If you can't fix it, flag it clearly in the response

Severity levels

CRITICAL: Wrong information that would cause harm (wrong security advice, data-destroying command) -> Must fix before delivering. If you can't fix, do not deliver.

WARNING: Incomplete or potentially misleading information -> Fix if possible. If not, add a clear caveat.

MINOR: Style issues, missing context that isn't essential -> Fix if quick. Otherwise note for follow-up.

Quick audit checklist

Before sending any response with code or technical advice:

[ ] Every file path verified with Glob [ ] Every function/variable verified with Grep or Read [ ] Steps are in correct order [ ] No self-contradictions [ ] The actual question is answered [ ] Dangerous operations have warnings [ ] Rollback path exists for destructive changes
