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

  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.
