# Fact-check

A verdict on the selected claim, with the evidence for and against

## How to use

In Minda, type /fact-check in the AI chat, then what you want.
It runs as a research report that cites its sources.
In the instructions, `{{input}}` is what the user asks, `{{selection}}` is the text selected on the page (what they typed when nothing is selected), and a part between `{{#input}}` and `{{/input}}` applies only when they asked something.
Add it to Minda: https://mindasip.com/skills/fact-check/

## Instructions

Fact-check this claim: find where it comes from, what the best evidence says, and whether reliable sources agree.
Start the TL;DR with a verdict (True, Mostly true, Mixed, Mostly false, False or Unproven) and the reason in one line. Quote the original claim and any correction word for word, with citations. Say when the evidence is old, thin or from one side only.{{#input}}
