Fact verification prevents hallucinations about version states by combining local ground-truth checks with web searches of official sources. This Skill enforces mandatory verification steps—uncertainty recognition, local assertion review, and targeted web searches—before stating confirmed facts about software versions, release dates, and current status.

Hallucinations occur when assertions about software versions, dates, or current state aren't verified against official sources. This Skill implements a verification protocol that checks local metadata first, then searches official documentation to confirm facts before responding, eliminating ungrounded claims.

Yes. This Skill verifies factual accuracy for versioned software libraries and tools by consulting official sources and release timelines. It confirms version numbers, GA statuses, release dates, and current state across major frameworks to prevent misinformation.

Web search with official sources confirms current release status. This Skill performs targeted verification against authoritative documentation, release notes, and timelines to establish whether a version is GA, in preview, deprecated, or no longer supported.

After verification completes, this Skill states confirmed facts alongside their sources and verification dates. This practice ensures transparency and lets readers trace claims back to official documentation, preventing assertion without evidence.

The Skill recognizes uncertainty explicitly before attempting verification. It acknowledges gaps in local knowledge, performs web searches for official ground truth, then provides answers only after confirming facts, protecting against guesswork.
