Live repository

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 dazuck/operator-skills at d55b55302f.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The reality-check skill assesses claims and statements to determine their factual accuracy. It cross-references information against multiple sources, identifying potential biases or inaccuracies. This helps ensure that AI agents provide reliable and trustworthy responses by flagging potentially false information.

When to use it

  • Fact Verification: Before presenting information as definitive, especially in sensitive areas like legal advice or medical guidance.
  • Bias Detection: To identify and mitigate potential biases present in generated content.
  • Content Review: When an AI agent is generating reports or summaries that require a high degree of accuracy.
  • Research Assistance: To validate claims encountered during research tasks, preventing the propagation of misinformation.

Key capabilities

  • Cross-references information against multiple sources.
  • Identifies potential biases in statements.
  • Flags potentially inaccurate information.
  • Assesses factual accuracy of claims.

Example prompts

  • "Reality check: 'The Earth is flat.'"
  • "Assess the claim: 'Drinking bleach cures COVID-19'."
  • "Verify this statement and flag any potential inaccuracies: [paste text here]"

Tips & gotchas

This skill relies on access to external data sources; its effectiveness depends on the availability and quality of those resources. Complex or nuanced claims may require further investigation beyond the skill's automated assessment.
