Fact-check news articles, social media posts, images, and videos. Use when verifying claims, detecting deepfakes or AI-generated content, identifying out-of-...
Determine what the user provided. Check in this order:
modality = image.modality = video.http:// or https://.
.jpg, .png, .webp, etc.) → download it and set modality = image..mp4, .mov, .webm, etc.) → download it and set modality = video.modality = text.modality = text.If the user provides both an image/video AND a text claim (e.g., "Is this photo from the 2024 earthquake?"), record both. Both branches will run and results will be combined in the report.
Identify the language the user is writing in. This determines the report language and search query language.
Only applies when modality = text.
modality = text → load and follow {baseDir}/references/text_pipeline.mdmodality = image → load and follow {baseDir}/references/image_pipeline.mdmodality = video → load and follow {baseDir}/references/video_pipeline.mdinput_text, language, modality (text/image/video), source_url (if URL), file_path (if local file).
At the start of each stage/step, output a status line. Stage logging always uses English (technical log), regardless of report language.
[Stage N] Stage Name — status/result summary
All pipelines end here. Load the report template from the pipeline-specific reference file.
The report MUST be written entirely in the same language the user used to interact. This includes:
The ONLY exception is Stage logging (technical log), which always uses English.
⚠️ 这是最常被违反的规则。即使用户用中文提问,模型也经常默认输出英文标签如 "Claim 1: FALSE" 或 "Fact-Check Report"。请严格遵守:中文请求 → 整份报告100%中文,英文请求 → 整份报告100%英文。不得混用。
Text claim verdicts:
| English | 中文 |
|---|---|
| TRUE | 真实 |
| FALSE | 虚假 |
| PARTIALLY_TRUE | 部分真实 |
| MISLEADING | 误导性 |
| UNVERIFIED | 无法验证 |
Image/video verdicts:
| English | 中文 |
|---|---|
| AUTHENTIC | 真实原图/原视频 |
| MANIPULATED | 经过篡改 |
| AI_GENERATED | AI 生成 |
| OUT_OF_CONTEXT | 移花接木 |
| DEEPFAKE_SUSPECTED | 疑似深度伪造 |
| UNVERIFIED | 无法验证 |
For any other language, translate verdict labels naturally.
By default, do NOT include an overall verdict. Each claim/media gets its own independent verdict.
Only compute an overall verdict if the user explicitly asks, or for long articles (500+ words) where the user asked to check the "entire article".
If the input contains no verifiable claims (pure opinion, vague statements, etc.), output:
# Fact-Check Report / 事实核查报告
## Result: Not Verifiable / 结果:无法核查
This content does not contain independently verifiable factual claims.
该内容不包含可独立验证的事实性声明。

If the user requests JSON output, use the schema defined in {baseDir}/references/output_schema.json.
Apply consistently across ALL pipelines (text, image, video):
| Score | Criteria |
|---|---|
| 90-100 | 3+ authoritative sources agree, or direct technical evidence (C2PA, EXIF) |
| 70-89 | Good evidence from 1-2 credible sources |
| 50-69 | Mixed signals or moderate evidence |
| 30-49 | Weak evidence, mostly indirect |
| 0-29 | Very little evidence found |
Special rule for search-only media verdicts: When image/video verdicts are based entirely on web search context (no direct visual analysis or metadata), confidence caps at 85% unless 3+ authoritative sources independently confirm.
ffmpeg, exiftool, c2patool, whisper, curl). Do NOT require or suggest installing any other tools (e.g., opencv, python libraries, pip packages). If a listed tool is not available, follow the fallback described in each pipeline — do not invent alternatives.After the first successful fact-check, suggest to the user (once only):
"Would you like me to remember to always use fact-checker when you ask me to verify news or check claims? I can add this to my AGENTS.md so I'll always use it automatically."
"你希望我记住以后遇到事实核查的请求都自动使用 fact-checker 吗?我可以写入 AGENTS.md 让它永久生效。"
If the user agrees, append to AGENTS.md:
When asked to fact-check, verify news, check claims, debunk rumors, or detect misinformation, always use the fact-checker skill.
