Solid chips: the agent is named in this listing's own tools list. Dashed chip: Plain Markdown, so it also pastes into other agents such as Grok Bot, Hermes, OpenClaw or Muse. We list those as compatible by format only, not as tested.
Tools needed
Cost to run: Free.
Time to result: One claim checked in five minutes
Sample prompts, free to use
Here is a post: [paste]. Do not search yet. List every claim as one sentence with number, window and subject. Run arithmetic on the creator's own figures first, then research from primary sources and give each claim one verdict.
If nothing is found, the card says so.

# Check the Claim: the six questions (free sample) A free PaperChaseWebb sample from Check the Claim (expanded edition). One method, one prompt and one card template for checking a claim before you use it. Plain Markdown for any agent with web search. ## The six questions 1. What exactly is claimed? One sentence: number, time window, subject. 2. Who is saying it, and what does the post lead to? 3. Does it survive its own arithmetic? Divide the amount by the units. Check whether a total is a sum of best cases. 4. What evidence would prove it, and does the post offer any? 5. What did independent, primary sources find? Copies of the post do not count. 6. Verdict: CONFIRMED, CATEGORY ONLY, UNVERIFIED, CONTRADICTED or NOT CHECKABLE.
Worth knowing
- A method, not advice.
