pi-fact-check

pi-fact-check is a command for Claude Code from tznthou/claude-prism. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,638 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking factual claims with two AI providers: Gemini searches for supporting sources, and Claude checks the evidence. A claim is a statement that can be tested against outside information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fact-check articles, notes, documents, web pages, or other content before publishing or relying on it.
Why use it?
It helps catch unsupported or incorrect statements by separating source discovery from verification. It can work with text, files, URLs, or referenced conversation content.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pi-fact-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Fact-Check via Cross-Provider Verification

Verify factual claims using Gemini (Google search) for source discovery and Claude for cross-verification. Two providers, two roles: Gemini finds evidence, Claude judges it.

Execution

Bash invocation rules (v0.12.3+): Call call-codex.sh / call-gemini.sh in foreground synchronous mode with timeout: 600000 (Bash tool's 10-minute ceiling). Do not use &, do not set run_in_background: true, do not use nohup — Claude Code 2026-04+ has an auto-background child-lifecycle regression that silently kills the process (output file stays 0 bytes). Use run_in_background: true + BashOutput polling only as an exception when the call is genuinely expected to exceed 10 minutes.

1. Obtain content

Use $ARGUMENTS as the content to verify.

  • File path: Read the file and use its content
  • URL: Fetch with WebFetch
  • Conversation reference: Claude extracts relevant content from history
  • Inline text: Use directly
  • Empty: Ask what to fact-check

2. Extract claims (Claude)

Scan the content. Identify every factual claim — statements that can be verified against external sources (data, events, quotes, attributions).

Skip opinions, predictions, and vague assertions ("many believe...").

For each claim, assess: how important is it if this is wrong? Focus effort on high-impact claims. Flag anything suspicious — too-precise numbers, vague sourcing, absolute language.

Output a numbered list of claims to verify, each with the exact text and suggested search terms. Prefix high-impact claims (the ones whose being wrong matters most) with [HIGH-IMPACT] — this marker travels into the Gemini batch prompt and directs deeper search effort.

If no verifiable claims found, report and stop.

3. Source search (dual-track)

Launch both tracks simultaneously in a single response to eliminate dead-wait time:

                    ┌─ Track A: Gemini (search grounding) ─┐
  Claims ──split──→│                                       │──merge──→ Step 4
                    └─ Track B: WebSearch (reliable URLs)  ─┘

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
