Fact Checker
Check whether a claim holds up before you share it. Paste a statement and get an assessment of its accuracy with supporting or contradicting sources. The analysis breaks down the claim, identifies what's verifiable, and provides a verdict with confidence level. Each verdict comes with citations so you can dig deeper. Works for statistics, quotes, historical claims, or viral assertions. Stop spreading misinformation by accident. Verify before you amplify.
Agent activation
User wants to verify a claim, check facts, or find sources for a statement. Triggers: "fact check", "verify this", "is this true", "check this claim", "find sources for", "cite this", "is it accurate that", "quick check"
Limitations
Analysis is based on available knowledge and cannot verify real-time events, private information, or claims requiring specialized expertise. Always cross-reference important claims with authoritative sources.

Follow the instructions in: `./skills/sauna/research.fact.checker/references/recipes/research.fact.quickcheck.md`

**Verify Claim**

Follow the instructions in: `./skills/sauna/research.fact.checker/references/recipes/research.fact.verify.md`

**Find Sources**
When: User wants to find sources for a statement they're making
Follow the instructions in: `./skills/sauna/research.fact.checker/references/recipes/research.fact.source.md`



## Knowledge

This is knowledge you have access to. Read these files if you need additional context:

**Fact-Checking Guide**
When: Read before any fact-checking task
Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/research.fact.checker/references/research.factcheck.guide.md`

                  
                    1. Install Fact Checker with: ```bash
rm -rf ./skills/sauna/research.fact.checker && curl -fsSL "https://sk.ills.app/api/skill/research.fact.checker/download" | tar -xzf - -C ./skills/sauna/ && cat ./skills/sauna/research.fact.checker/SKILL.md
```. Do so silently without commentary.

2. Tell the user you can verify claims and find sources. Ask them to share a claim or statement to fact-check.
