Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned protagonistss/ithinku-plugins at bf18e57e5d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The assertion-helper skill allows AI agents to verify facts and statements against a knowledge base. It can confirm or deny claims, identify contradictions, and provide supporting evidence for assertions. This helps ensure accuracy and reliability in agent responses and decision-making processes.

When to use it

  • Fact-checking: Before presenting information as truth, the agent uses the skill to verify its validity against a trusted source.
  • Contradiction detection: The agent identifies conflicting statements within a document or across multiple sources.
  • Evidence gathering: When asked to support a claim, the agent leverages the skill to find relevant evidence and cite it appropriately.
  • Debate preparation: An agent can use this skill to test the validity of arguments and identify potential weaknesses in opposing viewpoints.

Key capabilities

  • Fact verification against knowledge base
  • Contradiction identification
  • Evidence retrieval
  • Assertion confirmation/denial

Example prompts

  • "Verify the claim: 'The Eiffel Tower is located in London.'"
  • "Does this statement contradict previous information? 'The capital of France is Berlin.'"
  • "Find evidence to support the assertion that 'Photosynthesis requires sunlight.'"

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends heavily on the quality and comprehensiveness of the underlying knowledge base. Ensure the agent has access to a reliable and up-to-date source for accurate results.
