verifying
verifying is a Web research & fact-checking skill for AI agents, published by genli-ai in the market-research-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates verifying D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Use when verifying information (fact, number, quote, event, statement) against authoritative primary sources, or cross-checking a number via one-level metric decomposition (Z = P × Q). Triggers: "verify X", "is this true", "find the original source", "where is this number from", "two sources disagree", "is it true X never did Y". Covers five scenarios: (1) basic truthfulness check, (2) completeness / out-of-context quoting, (3) one-level reasoning verification, (4) negative-statement handling, (5) multi-source conflict side-by-side output. Dig into whitelisted primary sources only (user-supplied files, official websites & databases, authoritative industry sources); cited reports / charts / datasets must be downloaded and read locally to count as verified — if download is blocked, hand the link to the user. If nothing can be found, plainly state "cannot verify" rather than guessing, patching, or citing secondary paraphrases. Always reply in the user's question language.
