Uncertainty Verification

Overview

This skill forces verification before stating any specific technical detail that could vary by version, environment, or specification.

Use when...

• The request asks for exact command syntax, flags, or configuration keys
• The answer depends on version-specific behavior, deprecations, or recent changes
• The request involves standards/specs (RFCs, protocol behavior, i18n/timezone/locale rules)
• The user asks for exact file paths, naming conventions, or directory structures
• The answer requires library-specific APIs (class names, method signatures, constants)
• Any part of the response would otherwise be based on “typical patterns” or memory
