fact-checking

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection (GitHub) · research · 36 stars · scanned at commit 1691932

Use when verifying claims. Covers tracing a claim to its origin, evaluating sources, detecting laundered statistics, and reporting a verdict with the evidence rather than an assertion. Trigger on "is this true", "where does this statistic come from", "fact check this article". Do not use for open-ended multi-source research — see the deep-research skill.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'fact-checking' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'fact-checking' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named fact-checking already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/nimadorostkar/Claude-Skills-collection' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '1691932edc17063d712a85d02bcc7a1cd3791057' -- 'skills/productivity/fact-checking' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/productivity/fact-checking' ~/.agents/skills/'fact-checking' && 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/'fact-checking' ~/.claude/skills/'fact-checking' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
