belief-state-runtime.skill

Evaluates the trustworthiness of a claim based on evidence.

When to use

• User asks "is this true?" or "can I trust this?"
• Agent collects information from multiple sources and needs to assess reliability
• Detecting contradictions between evidence pieces
• Quantifying confidence in a conclusion

⚡ AUTO WORKFLOW (Default - Always Run This First)

IMPORTANT: When this skill is triggered, you MUST follow this workflow automatically:

from assess import get_assessment_prompt, assess_claim_with_response

# Step 1: SEARCH FOR EVIDENCE (MANDATORY)
# Use your search tool to find real, verifiable evidence about the claim.

# Step 2: Get the assessment prompt
prompt = get_assessment_prompt(claim="The claim", evidence="Search results + user's evidence")

# Step 3: YOU (the AI) answer the prompt with 6 boolean judgments
# Based on your search results and analysis:
#   - direct_support: Does the evidence support the claim?
#   - new_info: Does it provide new information?
#   - logical_consistent: Is it logically consistent?
#   - direct_refute: Does it explicitly refute the claim?
#   - limitation: Are there limitations or exceptions?
#   - error_outdated: Is the claim outdated or wrong?
#
# Your answer format:
#   {"direct_support": true/false, "new_info": true/false, ...}

# Step 4: Get final result
result = assess_claim_with_response(
    claim="The claim",
    evidence="Search results + user's evidence",
    llm_response='{"direct_support": true, ...}'  # YOUR judgment
)

# Step 5: Present the result to the user

Workflow Summary

How it works

1. Search for evidence (MANDATORY): Use search tools to find real, verifiable evidence.
2. Rule layer (Python): assess.py computes source reliability, evidence density, temporal freshness.
3. LLM layer (YOU): The AI agent answers 6 boolean questions about the evidence.
4. Aggregation (Python): Combines rule signals and your judgments into calibrated confidence.

Output

{
  "state": "VERIFIED",
  "confidence": 0.83,
  "confidence_range": [0.68, 0.98],
  "features": {"direct_support": true, ...},
  "summary": "Evidence strongly supports the claim"
}

States:

• VERIFIED (confidence >= 0.65): Agent can cite this information
• CONTESTED (0.25 \x3C confidence \x3C 0.65): Agent should note disagreement
• UNCERTAIN (confidence \x3C= 0.25): Agent should seek more information

Files

• assess.py — self-contained skill with your custom domain/keyword/threshold/weight rules
• config.json — your configuration in JSON format

External Endpoints

None. This skill is a pure computation engine. All evidence search is delegated to the host Agent.

Security & Privacy

• No API keys required
• No external network calls
• No user data collection
• All computation runs locally
