Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

It describes searching for relevant results, extracting titles, links, and snippets, optionally fetching full pages, and checking whether sources explicitly support an answer. If sources conflict or evidence is insufficient, it says to report uncertainty and include source links. Search quality and index coverage can be limited, and source support does not guarantee perfect accuracy.

What you can do with it

Find citable public sources for current or factual questions.
Compare source content and assess whether it explicitly supports a claim.
Flag uncertainty when sources are insufficient or disagree.

When to use it

When answering questions that need current information, fact-checking, or source links.
When a search result page needs closer reading to confirm context.
When results are insufficient, sources disagree, or conclusions have significant impact and uncertainty needs to be stated.

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Verify this factual question, prioritizing sources that directly support the conclusion, and include links.

Compare what these sources say about the question; clearly state when evidence is insufficient or conflicting.

# Internet Lookup Verifier

## Purpose
When a user asks a factual question, this skill performs an online search to confirm the answer and returns a concise verified response. It ensures that the assistant’s reply is backed by current, reliable sources.

## How it works

Show all (29 lines)

1. **Trigger** – The skill activates when the system prompt or another skill signals a need for verification. Typically this happens before answering a question that contains keywords like *fact*, *true/false*, *verify*, or *source*.
2. **Search** – Uses the `web_search` tool to retrieve up to 5 relevant results (default 3). The query is the user’s question or a re‑phrased version suitable for search engines.
3. **Extract** – From each result, the skill pulls the title, URL and snippet. If needed, it can fetch the full page with `web_fetch` for deeper analysis.
4. **Evaluate** – The assistant checks that at least one source explicitly supports the answer. If sources disagree or none are found, it reports uncertainty.
5. **Respond** – Returns a short verified answer followed by a list of URLs (and optionally snippets) that back the claim.

## Usage example
> *User:* Is the capital of Australia Canberra?
> 
> *Assistant (using this skill):* Yes, Canberra is the capital of Australia. Source: https://www.britannica.com/place/Canberra-Australia

## Limitations
- Relies on the quality of public search results.
- May not handle niche or very new information if it hasn’t indexed yet.
- Does not guarantee 100 % accuracy; it only indicates that sources support the claim.

## Extensibility
Add a `references/` folder with detailed guidelines for interpreting ambiguous results or handling conflicting sources. The skill can be extended to use more advanced NLP techniques for source credibility scoring.
