Use this skill to verify CLAIM-LEVEL grounding of a documentation page (or set of pages) against the source code. Activate when you have specific pages to check for factual accuracy -- not when sweeping a whole corpus (use docs-corpus-audit for that) and not when triaging a PR diff (use docs-sync for that). Trigger nouns: "is this doc accurate", "verify the page against the code", "fact-check this section", "any claims that drifted from source", "fact-checking", "grounding audit", "drift hunt",…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'docs-grounding-verifier' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'docs-grounding-verifier' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named docs-grounding-verifier already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/microsoft/apm' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '59549aca5d39f2bf8cc6b15a62016a2a42746a54' -- '.agents/skills/docs-grounding-verifier' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.agents/skills/docs-grounding-verifier' ~/.agents/skills/'docs-grounding-verifier' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'docs-grounding-verifier' ~/.claude/skills/'docs-grounding-verifier' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
