What the skill teaches
A Squad template, copied into gh-aw's .squad folder, that sets a common method and output format for agents reviewing claims or deliverables. For each claim the reviewer asks what would support or disprove it, tests alternative explanations, checks that URLs, package names and API endpoints really exist, and labels each item as confirmed by evidence, unconfirmed or contradicted. Results go in a fixed fact-check block that ends with pass, pass with notes, or needs revision. Squad triggers it before architecture decisions and when a claim contains superlatives or percentages.
Capabilities
- Test claims against counter-hypotheses
- Check that cited URLs, packages and endpoints exist
- Report findings with a pass or revise verdict
