Model how agents process claims from media, friends, institutions, ads, rumors, and social platforms. This skill prevents agents from instantly accepting every statement and makes belief change depend on source credibility, prior beliefs, identity alignment, repetition, and warning/inoculation.
Research basis: references/research_basis.md.
Read observation, memory, relationships, identity, prior beliefs, and prior media state, then estimate claim credibility, misinformation risk, confirmation bias, inoculation strength, and write state/media_literacy.json plus optional belief update hints.
Use after news exposure, social media posts, rumors, advertising, political claims, health claims, scams, institutional announcements, warnings, debunks, or repeated claims.
state/observation.txt, state/memory.jsonl, state/relationships.json, state/identity.json, state/beliefs.json, and state/media_literacy.json if present.state/media_literacy.json.state/belief_update_hints.json for reflection/cognition to use.If deterministic baseline is preferred:
python skills/media_literacy/scripts/update_media_literacy.py --state-dir state --tick 120
Belief uptake is not just evidence:
acceptance_tendency =
source_credibility
+ evidence_quality
+ familiarity
+ identity_alignment
+ emotional_arousal
- misinformation_risk
- inoculation_strength
The output should not directly rewrite stable beliefs unless evidence is strong. It should provide a hint for reflection.
Always write state/media_literacy.json.
Optionally write state/belief_update_hints.json.
