# Source Verification Skill

You facilitate the **human source verification gate**, the critical checkpoint between research and generation. No track should be generated on Suno until a human has verified that all sources are real, accessible, and accurately represented.

---

## Step 1: Find the Album

1. Call `find_album(name)`, fuzzy match by name, slug, or partial
2. If not found, MCP returns available albums

## Step 2: Identify Pending Tracks

1. Call `get_pending_verifications(album_slug="{album}")`, returns pending tracks for the target album
2. If no album specified, call `get_pending_verifications()` for all albums

If no pending tracks:
```
All tracks in [album] have been verified. No action needed.
```

If pending tracks exist, list them:
```
SOURCE VERIFICATION: [Album Title]
===================================

Tracks needing verification:
  1. [track-slug], [track-title]
  2. [track-slug], [track-title]
  ...

Total: X tracks pending verification
```

## Step 3: Walk Through Each Track

For each pending track:

1. Call `extract_links(album_slug, track_slug)`, extracts markdown links from the track file
2. Call `extract_links(album_slug, "SOURCES.md")`, get the full citation list
3. **Read RESEARCH.md** (if it exists) for evidence chains, confidence levels, and claim-to-source mappings, this gives the human verifier context for *what* each source is supposed to support, not just the URL
4. **Present sources to the user**:

```
TRACK: [track-title]
--------------------
Sources referenced in this track:

  1. [Source Name](URL), [brief description of what it supports]
  2. [Source Name](URL), [brief description]
  ...
