source-evaluation
From the author
Judge whether a source can carry the weight you are about to put on it — trace it upstream to something primary, check its date and version, name who benefits if you believe it, test whether corroboration is actually independent, and cite it so a reader can reopen exactly what you read. Use before relying on a claim that changes a decision, when two sources disagree, when a number arrives without its method, or when writing citations. Not for running the overall investigation, and not for deciding between products.

- fact-checkingseb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skillsVerify the accuracy of claims and statements by extracting individual assertions, identifying authoritative sources, cross-referencing evidence, and assigning confidence-scored verdicts. Use when the user requests fact checking or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.Productivity★ 228
- ceo-advisorcbrock84/headcountPressure-tests a decision, plan, or idea before it is committed to — surfacing the assumption it rests on, the case against it, and what would have to be true for it to work. Use this when weighing options, when a plan needs challenging before commitment, when you have already decided and want a genuine gut check, when processing meeting notes into decisions, or when competing initiatives need ranking. Distinct from `chief-executive`, which owns direction; this one interrogates a specific decision.Testing★ 2.1K
- competitive-analysisnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherCompare products, libraries or approaches on criteria derived from your own constraints rather than from anyone's feature list, and fill each cell with evidence you obtained — hands-on trial, primary docs, source, issue tracker — marking clearly what is only a vendor claim. Use when choosing between real alternatives, when asked how something stacks up against the competition, or when a decision is being made from a marketing comparison table. Not for general investigation method, not for judging a single source, and not for writing positioning or marketing copy.Finance★ 59
- verifyinggenli-ai/market-research-skillsUse when verifying information (fact, number, quote, event, statement) against authoritative primary sources, or cross-checking a number via one-level metric decomposition (Z = P × Q). Triggers: "verify X", "is this true", "find the original source", "where is this number from", "two sources disagree", "is it true X never did Y". Covers five scenarios: (1) basic truthfulness check, (2) completeness / out-of-context quoting, (3) one-level reasoning verification, (4) negative-statement handling, (5) multi-source conflict side-by-side output. Dig into whitelisted primary sources only (user-supplied files, official websites & databases, authoritative industry sources); cited reports / charts / datasets must be downloaded and read locally to count as verified — if download is blocked, hand the link to the user. If nothing can be found, plainly state "cannot verify" rather than guessing, patching, or citing secondary paraphrases. Always reply in the user's question language.Productivity★ 64
- deep-researchnahid-sparktales/agent-dispatcherInvestigate an open question properly — frame it as a decision, work from primary sources, sweep from several angles including the disconfirming one, and stop on a rule rather than on fatigue. Use when a question's answer will change what gets built or bought, when the material is unfamiliar or contested, or when someone asks for a recommendation with evidence behind it. Not for looking up a single fact you can confirm in one place, not for mapping the local codebase, and not for judging one source in isolation.Science★ 59
- doubt-drivenOutlineDriven/outline-driven-developmentUse when a non-trivial decision sits under uncertainty and correctness matters more than speed. Not for patch review: use review. Not for plan attacks: use load-bearing-assumption-test.Testing★ 54
