Academic Verify
Use this skill when the user asks whether a study, citation, or academic claim is trustworthy.
Workflow
- State the exact claim being verified.
- Find the primary publication, DOI, preprint, or official source.
- Inspect:
- method
- sample and data
- measures
- limitations
- conflicts of interest
- replication or follow-up work
- Compare against secondary summaries only after reading primary evidence.
- Return a verdict: supported, partially supported, unsupported, or unresolved.
Guardrails
- Browse current sources for claims or papers unless the user provides the full text.
- Do not overstate causality.
- Keep quotes short and cite sources.
