Trust, audit, and install readiness at a glance

These scores combine public repository metadata, OpenAgentSkill review signals, maintenance freshness, and install readiness. They are a shortlist signal, not a replacement for human review.

  • No OpenAgentSkill engagement data yet
  • High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution
  • Permission surface may require sandboxing

Agent safety v2

55/100 · Review before install

Experimentalreview

Sparse or mixed signals. Useful for discovery, but not for autonomous installation.

Test manually in an isolated workspace and compare against safer alternatives.

Resolve via API

high

Shell or command execution

Skill metadata references terminal, CLI, shell, subprocess, or command execution workflows.

medium

Network access

Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.

medium

Filesystem access

Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.

  • High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution
  • Permission surface may require sandboxing

Agent resolve plan

Let an agent verify fit before installing.

The Resolve API returns the selected skill, alternatives, safety policy, audit notes, install target, and copy-paste prompt an agent can follow without scraping this page.

Open text plan

Agent should check

  • Task fit and alternatives from Resolve API.
  • Audit score, trust score, and safety policy warnings.
  • Install target compatibility for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or CLI.

Copy prompt

Task: Use Bullshit Detector in this workspace.

Before running it, summarize audit warnings, required permissions, and the fallback skill if install is risky.

Agent handoff

Give an agent the install path, not another directory page.

Use the public install endpoint to fetch the command, safety checklist, target prompts, and canonical links for this skill.

Overview

# Bullshit Detector

[![skills.sh](https://skills.sh/b/SerhiiKorniienko/bullshit-detector)](https://skills.sh/SerhiiKorniienko/bullshit-detector)

Agent skills that fact-check the internet. Point your agent at a viral YouTube video, article, tweet, or PDF — get a claim-by-claim verification report with sources and a **BS score (0–10)** instead of taking "10 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY WITH AI 🤯" at face value.

Portable [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) — plain markdown + self-contained Python. They work in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and any harness that supports the skills format and has web search.

Built in the open with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) — an AI helped build the tool that fact-checks AI hype, and the [example report](./examples/report-14-ways-to-make-money-with-ai.md) is it auditing its own kind.

Follow [@SerhiiFounder](https://x.com/SerhiiFounder) for new skills and fact-check experiments, or [join the newsletter](https://korniienko.dev/newsletter) to get them in your inbox.

## Quickstart

1. Install [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) if you don't have it (the fetch script uses it to self-resolve its dependencies).

2. Run the skills.sh installer and pick the skills and agents you want:

```bash npx skills@latest add SerhiiKorniienko/bullshit-detector ```

3. Ask your agent: *"is this bullshit? \<url\>"*, *"fact-check this video"*, *"summarize \<url\>"*, *"explain the part at 12:30"*.

## Install as a Claude Code plugin

Prefer a managed bundle that updates when a new version ships, instead of copied files you maintain yourself? Inside Claude Code:

``` /plugin marketplace add SerhiiKorniienko/bullshit-detector /plugin install bullshit-detector@serhii-korniienko ```

Two ways to install, two philosophies:

- **[skills.sh](https://skills.sh/SerhiiKorniienko/bullshit-detector)** copies the skills into your setup so you can hack on them and make them your own. Works with any agent (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, …). - **The plugin** keep
