When should I use this skill instead of a search tool?

Use this skill when you need a structured audit of existing claims or documentation. For general exploration of new topics, a research-focused skill is better suited.

What happens if a claim is found to be incorrect?

The skill marks the claim as REFUTED, provides the contradictory evidence, and can automatically update your backlog files and commit those changes to your repository.

How does the Fact-Check skill differ from standard AI responses?

Standard AI responses rely on training data recall, which can be outdated or hallucinated. The Fact-Check skill explicitly rejects recall and requires live evidence from WebSearch, WebFetch, or GitHub.

What is the Chain of Verification (CoVe) requirement?

CoVe is a protocol where the agent performs an initial lookup, generates questions to try and disprove its own findings, and then conducts independent checks to ensure the final verdict is unbiased.

Can this skill handle multiple claims at the same time?

Yes, it spawns agents in parallel waves of five to efficiently process large batches of claims from documentation or backlog files.

Verifies technical claims and backlog items against primary web sources and live CLI data to eliminate AI hallucinations.

The Fact-Check skill enhances Claude's reliability by forcing it to validate assertions against primary sources rather than relying on its internal training data. It extracts falsifiable claims from documentation, plugins, or backlog items and spawns parallel verification agents to cross-reference data using WebSearch, WebFetch, and GitHub API lookups. By implementing a Chain of Verification (CoVe) protocol, the skill ensures that every verdict—whether Verified, Refuted, or Inconclusive—is supported by cited evidence, helping developers maintain 100% accuracy in technical documentation and project requirements.

主要功能

01Parallel Verification Waves: Processes multiple claims simultaneously using waves of parallel agents for rapid validation.

02Chain of Verification (CoVe): Employs a multi-step check that generates falsification questions to eliminate bias.

03Automated Backlog Integration: Automatically updates item statuses, lints files, and commits changes to your repository.

04Structured Verdict Reporting: Produces detailed reports with specific excerpts, citations, and evidence links.

05Primary Source Enforcement: Rejects internal training data in favor of live web fetches, GitHub source code, and CLI output.
