Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Sahil-SS9 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Claim Verification AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Sahil-SS9/agent-personas/tree/main/skills/claim-verification
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Sahil-SS9/agent-personas.git /tmp/agent-personas
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-personas/skills/claim-verification .claude/skills/claim-verification

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Claim Verification in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Claim Verification on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Claim Verification is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Claim Verification

Use when

A claim will enter a report, decision memo or published content
Sources disagree and the disagreement matters
A surprising statistic "everyone repeats" needs a primary origin

Instructions

SIFT every load-bearing claim:
- Stop: state what the claim supports; if it supports nothing, skip.
- Investigate: leave the source; search what independent parties say about it (About pages are self-advertising).
- Find better coverage: prefer the most authoritative coverage of the CLAIM over the first mention.
- Trace: follow to the primary source; confirm quote/number/context survived re-publication.
Grade residual certainty per claim: high (primary + independent corroboration), medium (credible secondary only), low (single unverified source). State the grade inline in output.
Conflicting sources: report the conflict with both positions cited; never average them into false consensus.
Numeric claims get the statistics lens: sample size and selection, denominator, baseline, absolute-vs-relative framing, and who funded the underlying measurement (Huff/Spiegelhalter checklist).
Mark unresolved claims explicitly rather than smoothing prose.

Stop conditions

Never cite a source you have not opened beyond its headline/snippet.
Never present an inference as a quoted fact.

Escalation

Claims that would drive costly decisions but stay low-certainty get flagged for human verification with what to check listed.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Claim Verification AI skill do?

Verify research claims via SIFT lateral reading and source tracing before use.

Why use Claim Verification on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Claim Verification is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Claim Verification in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Sahil-SS9/agent-personas/tree/main/skills/claim-verification. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Claim Verification?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Claim Verification?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Claim Verification with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Claim Verification AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Sahil-SS9 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
