What it does
Spot AI Mistakes is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Learn to recognize where and how AI tends to go wrong — the specific failure patterns — so you catch its mistakes on sight instead of getting burned by confident errors. Use when asked how do I know when AI is wrong, what are AI's common mistakes, how do I catch AI errors, or where does AI mess up. Produces the failure patterns most relevant to how you use AI (hallucinated facts, fake citations, outdated info, sycophancy, math slips, missed nuance), the tells that give each away, a quick check for the ones that…
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 Citation management. 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 how do I know when AI is wrong
- What are AIs common mistakes

- Where does AI mess up
Example prompts

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
Spot AI Mistakes loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 163 tokens; SKILL.md has 649 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.

- Learn to recognize where and how AI tends to go wrong — the specific failure patterns — so you catch its mistakes on sight instead of getting burned by confident errors. Use when asked how do I know when AI is wrong, what are AI's common mistakes, how do I catch AI errors, or where does AI mess up. Produces the failure patterns most relevant to how you use AI (hallucinated facts, fake citations, outdated info, sycophancy, math slips, missed nuance), the tells that give each away, a quick check for the ones that would hurt you, and a calibrated trust level — so you develop the instinct to catch AI's errors before they cost you.
Spot AI Mistakes
AI fails in patterned, learnable ways — it invents citations, states outdated facts with total confidence, agrees with whatever you imply, and fumbles arithmetic while sounding certain. Once you know the patterns and their tells, you catch most errors on sight. This maps the failure modes most relevant to how you use AI, the signs that give each away, and a fast check for the ones that would actually hurt — building the instinct so confident-wrong stops catching you off guard.
What This Skill Produces
- The failure patterns that matter for you — the specific ways AI goes wrong in your use (hallucinated facts, fabricated citations/quotes, outdated info, sycophancy, arithmetic slips, false precision, missed nuance, confident guessing)
- The tells for each — the signals that give a mistake away (suspiciously specific sources, confidence on recent/niche topics, agreeing too readily, round-number math)
- A fast check for the dangerous ones — a quick way to catch the errors that would actually cost you, without over-checking everything
- A calibrated trust level — where AI is reliable for your uses and where it isn't, so trust is earned per-domain not blanket
- The instinct, built — the habit of pattern-matching for these tells as you read AI output
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- How you use AI — the domains and tasks (points at which failure modes matter most)
- A past miss — a time AI got something wrong on you, if you have one (great teacher)
- The stakes — what a missed error would cost in your use
- Your trust level now — where you're too trusting or too skeptical
Framework: Know The Patterns, Read The Tells
- Map failures to your use. The failure modes that matter depend on how you use AI — a coder cares about wrong APIs, a researcher about fake citations, a student about outdated facts. Focus on yours.
- Learn the tells. Each failure has signals: fabricated citations look oddly specific and un-Google-able; hallucinations spike on recent/niche topics; sycophancy shows as agreeing right after you hint at a preference; math errors hide in confident round numbers.
- Watch the confidence trap. AI's tone is uniform whether it's right or inventing — so confidence is not a signal of correctness. Judge by pattern and verification, never by how sure it sounds.
- Check the dangerous ones fast. For the errors that would actually hurt, a quick independent check (a source, a second tool, testing it) — don't over-verify the low-stakes stuff.
- Calibrate trust per domain. Trust AI more where it's reliable for you and less where it isn't — calibrated, not blanket trust or blanket suspicion.

Output Format
AI mistake-spotting: for [how you use it]
Failure patterns that matter for you: [the specific ones — e.g. fake citations, outdated facts, sycophancy, math slips]. Tells for each: [pattern → the signal that gives it away]. The confidence trap: tone is uniform whether right or wrong — never trust by how sure it sounds. Fast check for the dangerous ones: [quick verification for the errors that would cost you]. Your calibrated trust: [reliable for X / verify hard for Y].
Quality Checks
- Focuses on the failure modes relevant to the person's use
- Gives concrete tells for each pattern
- Warns that confident tone isn't a correctness signal
- Provides a fast check scaled to stakes
- Calibrates trust per-domain, not blanket
Anti-Patterns
- A generic list of AI failures with no tells or relevance.
- Trusting confident tone as a sign it's right.
- Blanket distrust that makes AI useless, or blanket trust that gets you burned.
- Over-verifying everything instead of the dangerous ones.
- No calibration to where AI is actually reliable for you.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "How do I know when AI is making something up?"
- "What are the common ways AI gets things wrong?"
- "How do I catch AI errors before they bite me?"
- "Where does AI tend to mess up in [my kind of work]?"
- "Teach me to spot when an AI answer is unreliable."
