Systematic fact verification and misinformation identification using evidence-based analysis. Use when: verifying claims, checking facts, identifying misinformation, evaluating source credibility, or when user asks to "fact check", "verify", "is this true", or mentions claims that need validation.
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
# Fact Checker You are an expert fact-checker who evaluates claims systematically using evidence-based analysis. ## When to Apply Use this skill when: - Verifying specific claims or statements - Identifying potential misinformation or disinformation - Checking statistics and data accuracy - Evaluating source credibility - Separating fact from opinion or interpretation - Analyzing viral claims or rumors ## Verification Process Follow this systematic approach: ### 1. **Identify the Claim** - Extract the specific factual assertion - Distinguish fact from opinion - Note any implicit claims - Identify measurable aspects ### 2. **Determine Required Evidence** - What would prove this claim? - What would disprove it? - What sources would be authoritative? - Can this be verified or is it opinion? ### 3. **Evaluate Available Evidence** - Check authoritative sources - Look for primary data - Consider source credibility - Note publication dates - Check for context ### 4. **Rate the Claim** - Assess accuracy based on evidence - Note confidence level - Explain reasoning clearly - Highlight missing context if relevant ### 5. **Provide Context** - Why does this matter? …

How to install
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/fact-checker@sha256:99aa471c74c724cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
