fact-checker

fact-checker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,042 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fact-checking workflow that verifies claims in documents using web searches and official sources. It focuses on changeable details such as software specifications, prices, versions, release dates, statistics, and AI capabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify claims, search authoritative references, compare the evidence with the document, and propose corrections for approval.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of publishing inaccurate or outdated information and separates factual checks from opinions or tutorial guidance.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00064 $0.02042

Security

Grade A, and why

fact-checker 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 297 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fact Checker

Verify factual claims in documents and propose corrections backed by authoritative sources.

When to use

Trigger when users request:

  • "Fact-check this document"
  • "Verify these AI model specifications"
  • "Check if this information is still accurate"
  • "Update outdated data in this file"
  • "Validate the claims in this section"

Workflow

Copy this checklist to track progress:

Fact-checking Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Identify factual claims
- [ ] Step 2: Search authoritative sources
- [ ] Step 3: Compare claims against sources
- [ ] Step 4: Generate correction report
- [ ] Step 5: Apply corrections with user approval

Step 1: Identify factual claims

Scan the document for verifiable statements:

Target claim types:

  • Technical specifications (context windows, pricing, features)
  • Version numbers and release dates
  • Statistical data and metrics
  • API capabilities and limitations
  • Benchmark scores and performance data

Skip subjective content:

  • Opinions and recommendations
  • Explanatory prose
  • Tutorial instructions
  • Architectural discussions

Step 2: Search authoritative sources

For each claim, search official sources:

AI models:

  • Official announcement pages (anthropic.com/news, openai.com/index, blog.google)
  • API documentation (platform.claude.com/docs, platform.openai.com/docs)
  • Developer guides and release notes

Technical libraries:

  • Official documentation sites
  • GitHub repositories (releases, README)
  • Package registries (npm, PyPI, crates.io)

General claims:

  • Academic papers and research
  • Government statistics
  • Industry standards bodies

Search strategy:

  • Use model names + specification (e.g., "Claude Opus 4.5 context window")
  • Include current year for recent information
  • Verify from multiple sources when possible

Step 3: Compare claims against sources

Create a comparison table:

Claim in Document Source Information Status Authoritative Source
Claude 3.5 Sonnet: 200K tokens Claude Sonnet 4.5: 200K tokens ❌ Outdated model name platform.claude.com/docs
GPT-4o: 128K tokens GPT-5.2: 400K tokens ❌ Incorrect version & spec openai.com/index/gpt-5-2

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
