Verify any factual claim, number, threshold, rate, spec, or rule published on a content site against its one authoritative canonical source before publishing or editing it. Use before changing any figure in content, when confirming whether a flagged passage is actually wrong, or when auditing a site for factual accuracy. Trigger when a user asks "audit my site's accuracy," "is this figure still correct," "what's the source for X," or when running any wider content-quality audit that touches…

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 Primary Source

Confirm the correct, current value of any published fact from its one authoritative source
before trusting or editing it. A checkable claim is never confirmed by assumption — always by
checking the source.

---

## Step 0 — Ask before assuming

1. What kind of claims does the content actually make (prices, specs, dates, regulatory
   thresholds, statistics, rankings, product data)?
2. Is there an existing source-of-truth mapping (a spreadsheet, a data source, an API), or does
   each page just state facts inline with no tracked source?
3. How many pages/claims are in scope? A 20-page site and a 2,000-page site need different
   sampling strategies (full check vs. representative sample + risk-tiering).
4. How often do the underlying facts actually change (daily prices vs. annual regulatory
   figures vs. essentially-static facts)?
5. Is there a specific known worry, or is this a cold-start audit?

Scope the rest of this skill to the answers — don't run every step unmodified if some don't apply.

**If the site owner can't answer some or all of these, proceed anyway rather than blocking**:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add seoo-tools/seoo-skills/verify-primary-source@sha256:e1b1a2e6c9dc5f49

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.a762959, 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.
