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
- 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.
- Search – Uses the
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.web_search - Extract – From each result, the skill pulls the title, URL and snippet. If needed, it can fetch the full page with
for deeper analysis.web_fetch - Evaluate – The assistant checks that at least one source explicitly supports the answer. If sources disagree or none are found, it reports uncertainty.
- 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.
