Verify Claims

Verify claims and information using professional fact-checking services. Use this skill when users want to verify facts, check claims in articles/videos/transcripts, validate news authenticity, cross-reference information with trusted fact-checkers, or investigate potentially false or misleading content. Triggers include requests to "fact check", "verify this", "is this true", "check if this is accurate", or when users share content they want validated against misinformation.

This skill appears to do exactly what it says: it will search public fact‑checking websites and present cross‑referenced findings. Before using it, consider that the agent will send claim text and search queries to external search engines and third‑party fact‑checking sites (including translations), so do not submit private, sensitive, or personally identifiable content if you do not want it exposed. Also be aware fact‑checks can be behind paywalls, dated, or regionally limited — ask the agent to cite exact fact‑check URLs and publication dates, and to include a summary of each source's conclusion and confidence level.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: verify-claims Version: 1.0.0 The skill is designed to verify claims using professional fact-checking services. It explicitly instructs the AI agent to fetch a list of fact-checking websites from Wikipedia and then perform targeted web searches on those sites, using `site:` operators, to retrieve and analyze articles. While it involves network access and web search capabilities, these are directly aligned with its stated purpose. The instructions include safeguards like avoiding 'fraudulent fact-checking websites' and clearly outlining when to use general web search as a fallback. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection designed to subvert the agent's core mission or compromise user data.
