Overview

This skill performs a deep credibility audit on any user-supplied piece of writing. It applies four independent analytical lenses — logical fallacy detection, unsupported claim identification, weasel word scanning, and misleading statistics recognition — then synthesises the findings into a structured, actionable Credibility Report. No external APIs or search tools are required. All analysis is powered by the agent's own reasoning applied against the precise detection frameworks defined in this skill. Target users include researchers, journalists, students, editors, and anyone who needs to critically evaluate the quality of an argument before acting on, publishing, or citing it.


When to use this skill

Trigger on any of these user intents:

  • "Check this article / essay / report for logical fallacies"
  • "Audit this text for credibility / fact-check this writing"
  • "Find unsupported claims in this passage"
  • "Does this use weasel words or vague language?"
  • "Are these statistics misleading or being misused?"
  • "Review the reasoning in this argument"
  • "Is this source trustworthy / well-cited?"
  • "Flag any citation problems in this text"
  • "Check if correlation is being confused with causation here"
  • User pastes a block of text and asks "What's wrong with this?" or "Is this solid?"
