Why This Matters

The Bullshit Detector tool empowers users to automatically fact-check videos, articles, and social media content, providing verified claims and a credibility score. This innovation enhances transparency and trustworthiness in digital information, helping consumers and the tech industry combat misinformation more efficiently.

Key Takeaways

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 — 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 — an AI helped build the tool that fact-checks AI hype, and the example report is it auditing its own kind.
