Use when someone asks what is true, false, misleading, unsupported, unknown, or genuinely complicated in a persuasive message, article, pitch, advertisement, policy claim, or viral post. Analyze propaganda, spin, selective framing, urgency, social proof, deceptive marketing, and AI-generated persuasion by tracing claims to evidence and separating literal truth from implied conclusions. Do not use to read deception from demeanor, adjudicate intent, or replace broad domain research.
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
# De-Spin Use this skill to determine whether a persuasive message earns its conclusion. The goal is calibrated judgment, not reflexive distrust: distinguish **supported**, **false**, **misleading**, **complicated**, and **unknown** without turning missing evidence into proof of deception. ## Non-negotiable rules - Judge **claims and evidence**, not the speaker’s body language, confidence, political identity, or presumed motive. - A literally true sentence may still be misleading when its likely implication, baseline, conditions, or typical outcome is withheld. - Do not call a claim false unless credible evidence directly contradicts it. Use **unsupported** or **unknown** when evidence is absent or inaccessible. - Treat repetition, reposts, and a network of affiliated outlets as one evidence stream until independent origins are established. - Match verification effort to stakes. Slow down before health, financial, legal, security, reputational, or irreversible decisions. ## Workflow ### 1. Define the decision and claim boundary …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/de-spin@sha256:f209d2cbf8698770The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.1b8c737, 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.
