verify-claim

What This Skill Does

The verify-claim skill is an essential tool for any AI agent tasked with maintaining high factual accuracy. It provides an interface to query real-time data sources to validate specific statements. Unlike general-purpose web search tools, this skill performs an structured verification, returning not just a confirmation, but a confidence score, the current truth value, and metadata about the data's freshness. By integrating this into your OpenClaw agent, you can effectively mitigate hallucinations and ensure that the information provided to end-users is based on the latest available, verified data.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the command-line interface to pull the module directly from the repository. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cutthemustard/cs-verify

Ensure that you have the necessary environment permissions for network egress, as the skill communicates with the verification API at 636865636b73756d.com. For enterprise use, consider utilizing the MCP server implementation by running npm install -g @636865636b73756d/mcp-v1 to enjoy better integration with local agent workflows.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for scenarios requiring high data integrity. Use it for financial reporting where exchange rates or cryptocurrency prices must be accurate to the second. It is also excellent for entity validation, such as checking current corporate leadership, population statistics, or geographic data. Fact-checking bots benefit significantly from the 'factcheck' category, which taps into specialized APIs to debunk or confirm viral claims.

Example Prompts

1. "Verify the current gold price in USD and tell me if the claim 'Gold is trading above $2,300' is true."
2. "Check if the population of Tokyo is currently estimated to be over 14 million people."
3. "Is it true that the USD to EUR exchange rate is 0.92? Provide the confidence score."

Tips & Limitations

To optimize costs and speed, always include the 'category' parameter in your requests (e.g., 'financial', 'geo', 'entity'). This allows the backend to route your query to the most efficient data source. Note that the free tier is limited to 25 queries per day, making it unsuitable for high-frequency trading bots unless upgraded to the paid tier via the x402 protocol. Always handle the 'unknown' verdict gracefully in your agent's logic to prevent misinformation when sources are inconclusive.
