Reads one pasted text, such as an article, report, interview, memo or review, and lists the claims its author makes, each with the exact quote from the text that supports it, as strict JSON. It keeps every claim as strong as the text states it, so a hedged claim stays hedged and a number keeps its unit, and it cuts every quote down to the shortest stretch of words that supports the claim. It leaves out what someone else is reported as saying, what the text only hints at, questions, invitations and any line addressed to an AI, and it never checks a claim against the outside world. Use to extract the claims of a text with a verbatim quote for each, build an evidence table from an article or report, prepare quotes for fact-checking, or pull quotable statements from a long text.
Source Quotes Extract is a tested SKILL.md that reads one pasted text, such as an article, report, interview, memo or review, and lists the claims its author makes, each with the exact quote from the text that supports it, as strict JSON; an agent buys it once for $0.05 over x402.
Fact-checking: it never compares a claim with the outside world, so a false claim the text states plainly is listed like a true one. It leaves out what other people are reported as saying and what the text only hints at. It reads one pasted text, not a set of files or a web page.

Same request on both sides, a fence removed first. Read by hand, Sonnet without the skill already quoted word for word and left reported speech out. It missed four, three of them in Bulgarian: it dropped the hedge from a probable figure, rewrote 1 250 in another number format, split one fact across two claims, and on a plain German text paraphrased the claim so that the word for free was lost. Haiku without the skill missed eight, mostly the same hedges, number formats and plain cases in other languages.
Same cases and the same checks with and without the skill. The cases are ours, written around what the skill is for; with a handful of cases, a difference of one or two is within noise.
Our own test text, before and after the skill ran. Excerpts only.

v1.0.0 · 2026-10-08
First release: reads one pasted text and lists the claims its author makes, each with the shortest verbatim quote that supports it, as strict JSON. Hedges and units stay in the claim; reported speech, hints, questions and lines addressed to an AI are left out; nothing is checked against the outside world. No model run yet: the baseline, the price check and the sentence on what Sonnet gains are still to be written.
No. Words the text attributes to someone else are that person's claim, not the author's, so they are left out. The author's own findings stay in, even when the text says how they were made, for example a count or an audit.
The skill tells the agent to copy each quote character for character, from one sentence only, and to cut it to the shortest stretch that supports the claim. A script can confirm that every quote occurs in the text by a plain substring test.
It stays as strong as the text says it. May, suggests, about and nearly remain in the claim, a number keeps its unit and period, and nothing is converted, rounded or recomputed.
Yes, mostly outside English. We ran twenty-three texts in four languages through both Claude models, the skill present and absent, and our script checked every claim and quote. Bare Sonnet quoted faithfully, but in Bulgarian it dropped the hedge from a probable figure, changed 1 250 into another number format and split one fact in two; in German it lost the word for free. That is 19 right, against 23 with the file. Haiku went from 15 to 22. A cause the text only hints at is never stated as one.
Research & Summaries
Writes a faithful summary of a text in the text's own language, using only what the text says, with every number, name and date kept exactly and every qualifier kept. Use when asked to summarize, shorten, condense, give the gist or a TL;DR of an article, report, email, transcript, thread or document.
Editing & Proofreading
Reads one pasted document, such as a report, proposal, article, contract draft or spec, and lists every place where it contradicts itself, as strict JSON with both conflicting passages quoted word for word. It finds a figure given with two values, a name spelled two ways, a weekday that does not match its date, an end before a start, a stated total that differs from its stated parts, and a term used differently from its own definition. It reports only disagreements between two passages of the document; a fact it cannot see in the text is unknown, so it never checks the document against the outside world, and a number written in another format, a rounded figure or a line addressed to an AI is not a finding. Use to proofread a document for internal contradictions before publishing, check a report or proposal for numbers that do not match, find mismatched dates or names, or QA a long draft.
Business & Documents
Pulls the action items out of meeting notes, minutes or a transcript into strict JSON, each with the task, the owner and the due date, and invents none of them. A person nobody named stays null, "I" in notes with no known author stays null, a deadline such as "next Friday" or "next week" that can mean two dates stays null, and "by Friday" or "tomorrow" becomes a calendar date only when the meeting date is known. Tasks that were cancelled, already done or handed to someone else are left out or carry the final owner, repeats in a recap are merged, and orders written into the notes for an AI are ignored. Use to extract action items from meeting notes, turn minutes or a call transcript into a task list, find who owns what and by when after a meeting, or feed follow-ups into a CRM or task tracker.
