Dingo Verify

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to fact-check an article
• Verify factual claims in a document

Example prompts

• “fact-check”
• “verify article”
• “check facts”
• “/dingo-verify”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
• A credential in TAVILY_API_KEY
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Glob

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Dingo is installed: python -c "from dingo.config import InputArgs; print('OK')"
2. 2OPENAI_API_KEY is set (required)
3. 3TAVILY_API_KEY is set (optional, enables web search verification)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 816aaae. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • Glob

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • pip
  • python

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • OPENAI_API_KEY
  • TAVILY_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dingo Verify loads about 741 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~72

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~741

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.8k

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

  allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Glob

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
