/prompt-engineering:ground-response

Produce a grounded, citation-backed response — every claim traced to a source quote, unsupported claims retracted, unknowns stated explicitly.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use something else when...
You need factual accuracy grounded in source documents	Text needs style/tone adjustment → `/prose:distill`
Analyzing long documents (>20k tokens) where hallucination risk is high	You need code review → `/code-quality:code-review`
User asks to "cite sources" or "verify claims"	You need to synthesize scattered notes → `/prose:synthesize`
Answering questions about specs, policies, or technical docs	General coding task with no source verification needed
User wants auditable, traceable answers	Creative writing or brainstorming (accuracy not the goal)

These three techniques are from Anthropic's official documentation on reducing hallucination. Apply all three in every response.
