Automated safety checks
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

This skill, cross-fact-check, helps verify information by comparing claims against multiple sources. It can identify inconsistencies and potential inaccuracies in text or statements. The tool aims to improve the reliability of AI agent outputs by providing a secondary layer of validation.
When to use it
- Research tasks: When gathering information for reports or presentations, ensure accuracy by having the skill cross-reference data points.
- Content creation: Verify claims made in articles, blog posts, or marketing materials before publishing.
- Summarization: Validate key facts and figures extracted from documents to avoid propagating misinformation.
- Debate preparation: Check the validity of arguments and counterarguments by comparing them against reliable sources.
Key capabilities
- Cross-references claims with multiple sources.
- Identifies inconsistencies between sources.
- Flags potential inaccuracies in text.
Example prompts
- "Can you cross-fact check this statement: 'The Earth is flat'?"
- "Please verify these statistics about climate change and provide your sources."
- "Cross-reference the following paragraph with reputable news outlets: [paste paragraph here]"
Tips & gotchas
This skill relies on available online information; its effectiveness depends on the accessibility and quality of those sources. It's not a substitute for expert judgment, but rather a tool to aid in verification.
