Guardrailed Writer Fact-Check

To automate fact-checking for drafting, this Skill uses a deterministic source ladder that verifies claims by checking local artifacts first, then official primary sources, and trusted references third. It persists verification results as durable artifacts.

A source ladder is a deterministic hierarchy for claim verification that prioritizes local artifacts first, official primary sources second, and trusted references third. It blocks or escalates verification as needed to maintain accuracy without uncontrolled external research.

Yes, you can restrict external lookups using an allowlisted resolver helper instead of freeform browsing. The workflow caps external checks and wall-clock time, tracking usage and cost through built-in telemetry to maintain budget constraints.

No, the fact-checking process aids editors but does not replace decision-making. The editor remains the final authority, ensuring the automated verification pass supports editorial drafting, reviews, and final gates without overriding human judgment.

You track verified, attributed, softened, or omitted claims through durable artifacts. The workflow persists these records alongside their sources and budget summaries, ensuring a clear audit trail for editorial review and final gates.

Use a bounded fact-checking workflow when drafting includes unchecked claims and revision churn. It reuses existing artifacts and telemetry to support editors with deterministic verification, preventing the uncontrolled external research that freeform browsing invites.
