Run Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) on a draft or a block of text with factual claims. Spawns the `claim-verifier` agent in a fresh context (never a conversation fork) so it never sees the draft — then reports which claims are supported, contradicted, or unverifiable. Use when user says "verify these citations", "check the claims in X", "did I hallucinate anything", "fact-check this draft", "run CoVe on this", or after any text generation that asserts facts about papers, datasets, or numerical…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /verify-claims — Chain-of-Verification on a Draft

Fact-check a draft using the **Post-Flight Verification protocol** ([`.claude/rules/post-flight-verification.md`](../../rules/post-flight-verification.md)).

**Input:** `$ARGUMENTS` — path to a file containing the draft (markdown, .qmd, .tex, .md) or a shorthand pointer. Optional flags:

- `--source <path-or-url>` — one or more source-material pointers (repeat for multiple). If omitted, the skill infers from context (e.g., papers referenced, cited arXiv URLs).
- `--no-fail-closed` — downgrade FAIL outcomes to warnings without regeneration. Use sparingly.

## When to pick this skill

- **`/verify-claims`** (this skill) — ad-hoc fact-checking on any draft or text block the user hands you. One-shot, user-invoked.
- **Other skills that auto-run Post-Flight internally** (`/lit-review`, `/research-ideation`, `/respond-to-referees`, `/review-paper --peer`) — no need to call this separately; they already run it.
- **`/proofread`** — grammar, typos, overflow. Different lens.
- **`/review-paper`** (default mode) — full manuscript review, not just claim verification.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow/verify-claims@sha256:de0af2716ea0ec1c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.6535de7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
