fact-check skillA

fact-check is agent-read markdown (skill) from scdenney/open-science-skills: Fact-checks manuscript claims against their cited sources. Locates each source’s knowledge-base Markdown file and verifies that every in-text claim is supported. Runs a pre-flight gate requiring a clean per-source Markdown knowledge base, one file per cited source, with all raw PDFs converted. Then runs citation-check and audits claim support, overclaiming, direction, scope, and misattribution..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/fact-check@git:20260909.08bf795
Exact content

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
