What it does

AI Output Verifier is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check AI output before you trust or use it — where it's likely wrong, what to verify, and how to catch confident-sounding errors. Use when asked can I trust this AI answer, how do I verify what AI told me, fact-check this AI output, or is this AI response reliable. Produces a risk read on the specific output (the claims most likely to be wrong or made up), the parts that need independent verification vs the parts that are low-risk, how to actually verify each, the tells of AI hallucination and overconfidence, and…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Research & Science, covering Fact-checking and source verification. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked can I trust this AI answer
  • How do I verify what AI told me
  • Fact-check this AI output
  • Is this AI response reliable

Example prompts

  • “/ai-output-verifier”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

AI Output Verifier loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 168 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~168
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Check AI output before you trust or use it — where it's likely wrong, what to verify, and how to catch confident-sounding errors. Use when asked can I trust this AI answer, how do I verify what AI told me, fact-check this AI output, or is this AI response reliable. Produces a risk read on the specific output (the claims most likely to be wrong or made up), the parts that need independent verification vs the parts that are low-risk, how to actually verify each, the tells of AI hallucination and overconfidence, and a habit for building verification into your AI use — because AI is confidently wrong often enough that unchecked trust is a real risk.

AI-Output Verifier

AI is fluent, confident, and sometimes completely wrong — inventing facts, citations, and details in the same authoritative tone as the correct ones. That confidence is exactly what makes unverified trust dangerous. This checks a specific output: which claims are most likely wrong or fabricated, what genuinely needs independent verification, how to verify it, and the tells of hallucination — so you use AI's speed without inheriting its errors.

What This Skill Produces

  • A risk read of the output — which specific claims are most likely to be wrong, outdated, or made up (facts, numbers, citations, names, recent events, specifics)
  • Verify vs. low-risk split — what genuinely needs independent checking vs. what's low-stakes or self-evident, so you spend effort where it counts
  • How to verify each — the concrete way to check the high-risk claims (a primary source, a second tool, a domain expert, testing it)
  • The hallucination tells — the signs AI is likely fabricating (oddly specific citations, confident claims about recent/niche facts, plausible-but-unverifiable details)
  • A verification habit — how to build appropriate checking into your AI use by default, scaled to the stakes (trust more for low-stakes, verify hard for high-stakes)

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The output — the AI response to check (paste it)
  • What it's for — the stakes (a casual question vs. something you'll publish, decide on, or act on)
  • The domain — factual/technical/legal/medical/current-events (some are far higher-risk for AI)
  • What you'd do with it — trust it, act on it, share it, build on it

Framework: Risk-Rate The Claims, Verify What Matters

  1. Scan for the high-risk claim types. Specific facts, numbers, dates, names, citations, recent events, and niche/technical specifics are where AI most often invents — flag these.
  2. Split by risk and stakes. Separate the claims that genuinely need verification (high-risk × high-stakes) from the low-risk or low-stakes ones you can reasonably accept — don't verify everything equally.
  3. Verify against real sources. For the high-risk claims, check a primary source, a second independent tool, an expert, or by testing — not by asking the same AI "are you sure?" (it'll often just re-confirm).
  4. Watch the hallucination tells. Oddly precise citations, confident answers about very recent or obscure things, and unverifiable specifics are red flags — treat them as unverified until checked.
  5. Scale trust to stakes. For low-stakes uses, light verification is fine; for anything you'll publish, decide on, or that could harm if wrong, verify hard. Build this reflex in.

Output Format

Verifying: [the output] · for [use/stakes]

High-risk claims (verify these): [specific facts/numbers/citations/recent/niche → most likely wrong]. Low-risk (reasonable to accept): [self-evident / low-stakes parts]. How to verify each: [primary source / second tool / expert / test — not re-asking the same AI]. Hallucination tells present: [odd-specific citations · confident on recent/niche · unverifiable specifics]. Trust level for your use: [light check for low-stakes / verify hard because it's high-stakes].

Quality Checks

  • Flags the specific high-risk claim types in the output
  • Splits what needs verification from what's low-risk, by stakes
  • Gives concrete verification methods (not "ask the AI again")
  • Names the hallucination/overconfidence tells present
  • Scales the recommended trust to the actual stakes

Anti-Patterns

  • "Verify everything" equally, ignoring stakes.
  • Re-asking the same AI "are you sure?" as verification.
  • Trusting confident tone as a signal of correctness.
  • Missing the high-risk claim types (citations, recent facts, numbers).
  • No stakes-based scaling of how hard to check.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Can I trust this answer the AI gave me?"
  • "How do I verify what ChatGPT told me before I use it?"
  • "Fact-check this AI output — I'm about to publish it."
  • "Is this AI response reliable enough to act on?"
  • "What in this AI answer should I double-check?"
