AI Claim Ledger
Maintain a local claim and evidence ledger with optional source-review dates and explicit overdue-support reports, without fetching sources or inferring truth.
The problem it solves
AI Claim Ledger AI Claim Ledger converts factual claims copied from an AI response into a portable source and verification checklist. Claims remain explicitly unverified, in need of a source, verified, or disputed. Version 2 ledgers keep reusable sources in one registry and record whether each source supports, contradicts, or provides context for a claim.
Who AI Claim Ledger is for
- Developers and maintainers who need reviewable evidence before changing or releasing software.
- Users working with AI review, claims, sources who want the documented v1.2.0 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Maintain a local claim and evidence ledger with optional source-review dates and explicit overdue-support reports, without fetching sources or inferring truth.

Changelog
Release notes from the canonical v1.2.0 source tag.

- Identify claims relying on overdue supporting sources, including shared source links; retain supplied truth statuses and evidence relations.
- List undated support and reviews recorded after the boundary without fetching URLs or inferring truth.
- Added a version 2 ledger format with reusable source records and explicit
supports,
contradicts, and context relationships.
- Added evidence-coverage reporting for unused sources, disputed claims without contradictory
evidence, and claims with conflicting evidence.
- Preserved validation and reporting for existing version 1 ledgers.
- Replaced placeholder source URLs in the sample and tests with primary Python documentation.
- Added structured claim, source, note, and verification-status records.

- Added filtered Markdown checklists and JSON reports.
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
Before running these source commands, download the v1.2.0 source archive, extract it, and open a terminal in the extracted project folder containing README.md. Follow the tagged README for required runtimes and any platform-specific setup.
python -m pip install .
claim-ledger examples/claims.json
claim-ledger examples/claims.json --status needs-source --format jsonVerified claims require at least one supporting relationship to a syntactically valid HTTP or HTTPS source. Reports group claims by status, retain notes and source labels, and flag unused sources, disputed claims without contradictory evidence, and claims that have both supporting and contradictory evidence. The same source can be linked to multiple claims without copying its URL and title. Existing version 1 ledgers remain supported.
Version 2 uses a top-level source registry and claim-level evidence links:
{
"version": 2,
"sources": [
{"id": "python-json", "url": "https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html", "title": "Python JSON documentation"}
],
"claims": [
{
"id": "claim-1",
"claim": "Python includes a standard JSON encoder and decoder.",
"status": "verified",
"evidence": [{"source_id": "python-json", "relation": "supports"}]
}
]
}Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
This tool does not call an AI model, extract claims automatically, browse URLs, judge source quality, or decide whether a relationship label is correct. A valid URL or a supports label is not evidence of truth. The person reviewing the ledger remains responsible for opening authoritative sources, recording the relationship accurately, and updating the claim status.
Requires Python 3.10 or newer. Development checks use Ruff, pytest with branch coverage, and package builds.
