Guardrailed Writer Fact-Check

What problem does it solve?

Drafting often includes unchecked claims and revision churn; this Skill provides a bounded, deterministic fact-checking workflow that reuses existing artifacts and telemetry to support editors without inviting uncontrolled external research.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Deterministic source ladder: prefer local artifacts first, official primary sources second, trusted references third, with escalation blocked or escalated as needed.
• Narrow resolver helper: expose an allowlisted fetch helper rather than freeform browsing to maintain policy and speed.
• Budgeted checks and time: cap external lookups and wall-clock time, with telemetry to track usage and cost.
• Durable artifacts: persist which claims were verified, attributed, softened, or omitted, with sources and budget summaries.
• Editor as final authority: the verification pass aids editors but does not replace decision-making.

Quick Start

Integrate the writer-factcheck step into your drafting workflow to automatically verify claims against local artifacts and approved sources.
