The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 35
Run search-web for factual or recent questions.
- Very specific: line 36
Use browse-page on the most relevant source when snippets are not enough.
- Very specific: line 37
Use verify-claim when a concrete claim needs a support/conflict summary.
- Very specific: line 38
Use evidence-report when you want a compact evidence package with citations and next steps.
- Very specific: line 39
Use --deep when the claim matters enough to justify page-aware verification.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Cross-Validated Search for OpenClaw
This skill gives OpenClaw a practical verification workflow:
search-webfor live search resultsbrowse-pagefor reading the full content of a sourceverify-claimfor support/conflict classificationevidence-reportfor a citation-ready summary with next steps
Install
pip install cross-validated-searchMinimum verification
search-web "OpenAI API pricing" --type news --timelimit w
verify-claim "Python 3.13 is the latest stable release" --deep --max-pages 2 --json
evidence-report "Python 3.13 stable release" --claim "Python 3.13 is the latest stable release" --deep --jsonRecommended flow
- Run
search-webfor factual or recent questions. - Use
browse-pageon the most relevant source when snippets are not enough. - Use
verify-claimwhen a concrete claim needs a support/conflict summary. - Use
evidence-reportwhen you want a compact evidence package with citations and next steps. - Use
--deepwhen the claim matters enough to justify page-aware verification. - Cite the returned URLs in the final answer.
What success looks like
- the verdict is explicit
- the result includes support and conflict scores
page_awareis true when deep verification ran- the recommended free path is
ddgs + self-hosted searxng - source URLs are ready to cite
Limits
verify-claimis heuristic and evidence-aware, not a proof engine.- The default provider path is
ddgs. - The recommended free upgrade path is self-hosted
searxngviaCROSS_VALIDATED_SEARCH_SEARXNG_URL. - Conflicting sources are surfaced, not automatically reconciled.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
