What problem does it solve?
This Skill audits documents that already contain citations and checks whether each linked source actually supports the claim being made. It helps catch the common failure mode where a link resolves, but the cited page does not say what the text claims.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Claim Extraction: Identifies factual, checkable claims in a document and organizes them by locator and cited source.
- Adversarial Verification: Uses verifier sub-agents to refute claims first, trace secondary citations back to primary sources, and check whether claims have gone stale.
- Evidence-Graded Audit: Produces a structured report with VERIFIED, MISATTRIBUTED, UNSUPPORTED, STALE, or UNCHECKABLE grades and quoted evidence for each finding.
- Use Case: Use it to review a research brief, blog post, report, or internal memo when you need to know whether the citations truly support the statements.
Quick Start
Run the factcheck skill on a markdown file, URL, or pasted draft to extract its checkable claims and verify each source against the quoted evidence.
