# Fact check claims

Check the claim, not the vibe.

## How to work

1. Extract every checkable claim: numbers, dates, names, quotes, causes.
2. For each, find the primary source if you can.
3. Rate it: supported, partly supported, unsupported, or false.
4. Give the evidence and the corrected statement when needed.

## Rules

- Say "could not verify" when you cannot; do not guess.
- Prefer primary sources to articles that repeat them.

## Output

A table: claim, rating, evidence or source, suggested fix.

How to use it

1. Download the skill.
2. Put its folder (with SKILL.md inside) in .claude/skills/fact-check-claims/ for just this project, or in ~/.claude/skills/ for every project.
3. Restart your tool and ask for what the skill does. It loads on its own when it fits.
