fact-checker

Verifies factual claims in documents using web search and official sources, then proposes corrections with user confirmation. Use when the user asks to fact-check, verify information, validate claims, check accuracy, or update outdated information in documents. Supports AI model specs, technical documentation, statistics, and general factual statements.

Discovery

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is a well-crafted skill description that clearly communicates its purpose, methods, and trigger conditions. It uses third person voice correctly, includes a comprehensive 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms, and specifies the types of content it handles. The description is concise yet thorough, making it easy for Claude to distinguish this skill from others.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions: verifies factual claims, uses web search and official sources, proposes corrections with user confirmation. Also specifies the types of content supported (AI model specs, technical documentation, statistics, general factual statements).

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (verifies factual claims using web search and official sources, proposes corrections) and 'when' (explicit 'Use when...' clause listing multiple trigger scenarios). Both are well-articulated.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes strong natural trigger terms users would say: 'fact-check', 'verify information', 'validate claims', 'check accuracy', 'update outdated information'. These cover common variations of how users would phrase such requests.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The combination of fact-checking, web search verification, and correction proposal creates a clear niche. The specific trigger terms like 'fact-check' and 'validate claims' are distinct from general document editing or search skills.

Implementation

77%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-structured, actionable skill with a clear multi-step workflow and strong validation checkpoints including mandatory user approval before destructive edits. Its main weakness is length—the document includes sections (examples, limitations, export suggestions) that could be trimmed or split into referenced files. The search best practices and special considerations sections, while valuable, contribute to a document that's longer than ideal for a SKILL.md overview.

Suggestions

Move the 'Search best practices', 'Special considerations', and 'Examples' sections into a referenced FACT_CHECK_REFERENCE.md file to reduce the main skill's token footprint.

Remove the 'Next Step: Export Verified Content' section—it promotes other skills and doesn't contribute to the fact-checking workflow itself.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The skill is moderately verbose. While most content is useful, there's unnecessary padding: the 'When to use' trigger phrases duplicate frontmatter intent, the examples section restates the workflow without adding new information, and some sections like 'Limitations' and 'Next Step: Export Verified Content' add marginal value. The search best practices section, while useful, could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

The skill provides concrete, executable guidance throughout: specific search queries, a structured comparison table format, a detailed correction report template, an actual Edit tool invocation example, and specific source URLs to check. The status codes and query examples are immediately usable.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 5-step workflow is clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints: a progress checklist at the top, a mandatory user approval gate before applying changes (Step 5), post-edit verification, and a quality checklist at the end. The feedback loop for handling ambiguity and source conflicts is well-defined.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The content is well-structured with clear headers and logical sections, but it's a long monolithic document (~200 lines of substantive content) that could benefit from splitting detailed reference material (search best practices, special considerations, examples) into separate files. No external file references are used despite the length warranting them.
