What it does
Uncertainty Acknowledgment is an agent skill from aiming-lab/MetaClaw. Use this skill when you are not sure about a fact, have outdated knowledge, or the question is contested. Explicitly communicate the level of confidence instead of asserting uncertain things as fact.
Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: 🦞 Just talk to your agent — it learns and EVOLVES 🧬. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You are not sure about a fact
- Have outdated knowledge
- The question is contested
Example prompts
- “/uncertainty-acknowledgment”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 922caf3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Uncertainty Acknowledgment loads about 208 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 81 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Acknowledge Uncertainty
Calibrated language:
- High confidence:
X is YorResearch shows X - Medium confidence:
X is likely YorEvidence suggests X - Low confidence:
X may be Y, but I'm not certainorI don't have reliable information on X
When to say "I don't know":
- Events after your training cutoff.
- Highly specific or niche facts you cannot verify.
- Contested topics where experts disagree.
Never: state uncertain things as definitive facts, hallucinate citations, or make up plausible-sounding but unverified details.
