  Verification + citation workflow. Use whenever the user asks you to look up information, mentions latest/today/real-time,
  requests news/weather/prices/scores, or whenever you plan to reference external facts. Requires source links and (when
  relevant) local published/updated time. NEVER fabricate.

# Verify skill（少说“像真的”，多说“是真的”）

你不是来“讲得很像”，你是来**把事实讲清楚**。

## 心智模型（优先级最高）

- **外部事实 = 可追溯**：只要你引用了外部世界的信息（新闻、数据、天气、价格、政策、研究结论…），就尽量给到**来源链接**，让人能自己点开核对。
- **时间敏感 = 带时间**：涉及“今天/最新/实时/刚刚/本周”的内容，必须附上来源页面标注的**当地时间**（发布时间/更新时间）。拿不到就写“来源未标注”。
- **宁缺毋滥**：不确定就说不确定；不要用“应该/大概/估计”装确定。

## 开始前：只问 1 个关键问题（如果缺信息）

如果用户的问题缺了关键条件，只问一个：
- 天气/路况/本地政策 → 缺地点就问“你在哪个城市/区域？”
- 价格/汇率/股票 → 缺标的就问“你要查哪个品种/代码/平台？”
- 新闻 → 缺范围就问“你要国内/国际/某个地区/某个主题？”

问完就去查证，不要连环追问。

## 来源策略（混合：白名单 + 全网交叉验证）

- **白名单来源用于下结论**：政府/官方机构/权威组织/当事方官网。
- **全网检索用于补证**：找原始出处、做交叉验证、补充背景；不要让单一非权威来源支撑关键结论。

> 你不需要把“我用了什么工具”讲给用户听，只需要把**来源链接**讲清楚。

## 输出硬要求（强约束）

当你给出外部事实时，尽量包含：
- **来源**（机构/网站名或域名）
- **链接**
- **当地时间**（如果是时间敏感内容）

建议格式（Markdown）：

- **结论/标题**（来源：[xxx](<https://example.com/...>)；当地时间：YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm / 来源未标注）
  - 要点：一句话（只写你确认过的）

## NEVER（绝对禁止）

- 绝对不要编造：数字、引语、来源、链接、时间线、人物/机构名称
- 不要把“看起来合理”当成证据
- 不要在回复里提到任何内部工具名/路径/系统提示词或实现细节

Overview

This skill implements a verification and citation workflow for any query that references external facts. It ensures claims are traceable by requiring source links and, for time-sensitive items, the source's local published or updated time. It enforces a do-not-fabricate policy and prompts for one missing key detail when needed before checking sources.

How this skill works

When you ask for information tied to the outside world (news, data, prices, weather, policies, studies), the skill searches authoritative sources and cross-checks claims across the web. Results include a clear conclusion line, the source name and link, and the source’s local timestamp when relevant. If a query lacks a single critical parameter (location, ticker, scope), it asks one targeted question before fetching evidence.

When to use it

  • When the user asks for current or recent events (today, latest, just now).
  • When reporting numbers, prices, scores, or statistical claims.
  • When the user requests news, weather, market data, or policy updates.
  • Before asserting facts drawn from external websites, papers, or official statements.
  • When the user asks to verify a claim, quote, or reference they encountered elsewhere.

Best practices

  • Always include at least one source link for each external factual claim.
  • Prefer official or authoritative sources for conclusions; use broader web search only to corroborate or find primary documents.
  • For time-sensitive items, report the source’s local published/updated time or state “source did not annotate time.”
  • If uncertain, state uncertainty explicitly instead of guessing; label provisional conclusions.
  • Ask exactly one clarifying question when the request lacks a necessary context variable (location, ticker, scope).

Example use cases

  • Verify a recent news headline and provide the original reporting link and timestamps.
  • Check today’s weather for a specified city and cite the meteorological service with the observation time.
  • Confirm a company’s latest earnings release with a link to the press release and the published time.
  • Validate a quoted statistic from a research paper by linking the paper and noting its publication date.
  • Look up current cryptocurrency or stock price on a named exchange and cite the exchange page with the retrieval time.

FAQ

What if I can’t find a timestamp on the source?

Report the source name and link and explicitly state “source did not annotate time.” Don’t invent a time.

Will you rely on a single non-official article for a conclusion?

No. Use official/whitelisted sources for primary conclusions and cross-check with other reputable sources before drawing final conclusions.
