name: fact-checker description: Verify claims in tacosdedatos content before publication. Use this skill when reviewing drafts for factual accuracy, checking code examples work correctly, validating statistics and sources, or verifying quotes and attributions. Produces a structured fact-check report with verdicts for each claim. For deep verification requiring extended research, delegate to the fact-checker subagent instead.

Verification Workflow

Step 1: Extract Claims

Scan the content and extract all verifiable claims:

1. Technical claims — Code, APIs, versions, tool capabilities
2. Statistical claims — Numbers, percentages, study references
3. Attribution claims — Quotes, sources, links

See references/claim-categories.md for identification signals.

Step 2: Prioritize

Focus verification effort on high-impact claims:

Step 3: Verify Each Claim

Technical claims:

Copy1. Code snippets → Execute to verify they run
2. API behavior → Web search for official docs
3. Version claims → Check release notes

Statistical claims:

Copy1. Find original source via web search
2. Verify the number matches
3. Check if data is current

Attribution claims:

Copy1. Web search for original quote/source
2. Verify link validity
3. Confirm attribution accuracy

Step 4: Flag for Human Review

Mark claims that cannot be automatically verified:

• Insider knowledge or personal anecdotes
• Future predictions
• Unpublished/internal data
• Controversial interpretations

Step 5: Generate Report

Produce a structured report using the template in references/report-format.md.

Verdicts:

• VERIFIED — All claims check out
• ISSUES FOUND — Corrections needed before publishing
• NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW — Editor must decide on flagged items

Code Verification

For code blocks, attempt execution when possible:

Copy# Run code in sandbox
# Capture: success/failure, output, errors
# Report: which blocks run, which fail

Output Format

Always produce a report following the template in references/report-format.md.

Minimum report contents:

1. Overall verdict (VERIFIED / ISSUES FOUND / NEEDS HUMAN REVIEW)
2. Summary of findings
3. List of claims checked with individual verdicts
4. Code execution results (if applicable)
5. Specific recommendations for fixes
