Agent skills that fact-check the internet. Point your agent at a viral YouTube video, article, tweet, or PDF — get a claim-by-claim verification report with sources and a BS score (0–10) instead of taking "10 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY WITH AI 🤯" at face value. Portable Agent Skills — plain markdown + self-contained Python. They work in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and any harness that supports the skills format and has web search. Built in the open with Claude Code — an AI helped build the tool that fact-checks AI hype, and the example report is it auditing its own kind. Follow @SerhiiFounder for new skills and fact-check experiments, or join the newsletter to get them in your inbox. Install uv if you don't have it (the fetch script uses it to self-resolve its dependencies). Prefer a managed bundle that updates when a new version ships, instead of copied files you maintain yourself? Inside Claude Code: Pick one, not both — installing both gives Claude Code two copies of every skill. Works beyond Claude Code — the skills are plain markdown + self-contained scripts.
