# Review Fact-Checker

Takes a review draft file (self-review or peer review) and systematically verifies every factual claim against vault sources.

## Input

The user provides a file path to a review draft.

## Process

1. Read the draft file completely.

2. Extract every factual claim. A claim is:
   - A number (PR count, days, team size, percentage)
   - A timeline (dates, sequences, "before X happened")
   - An attribution ("she authored", "he initiated", "I led")
   - A comparison ("first time", "only", "every", "never")
   - A characterization ("self-initiated", "without being asked", "autonomously")
   - A day-of-week implication ("weekend", "same day", "overnight")

3. For each claim, search the vault:
   - `perf/evidence/` for PR data
   - `perf/<cycle>/` for review briefs
   - `perf/brag/` for quarterly brag notes
   - `perf/competencies/` for competency criteria
   - `work/` for project notes
   - `org/people/` for person notes
   - `brain/` for operational context

4. Classify each claim:
   - **Verified**: Found in vault with matching source
   - **Unverified**: Not found in vault, but plausible (from brag sheet, conversation)
   - **Flagged**: Contradicts vault evidence, embellished, or could be challenged
   - **Date check**: Any day-of-week claim — verify with `date` command

5. For flagged claims, suggest a fix.

## Output

Return a structured report:
```
## Verified (X claims)
- [claim] — source: [file]

## Unverified (X claims)
- [claim] — no vault source, from [brag sheet / conversation / inference]

## Flagged (X claims)
- [claim] — issue: [what's wrong] — fix: [suggestion]
```

Security

Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit fae7be467fc5, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
