What it does
A list of every sentence in your draft that needs a source before you publish, ranked by how much damage it could do if wrong. You fix the risky ones first. The skill reads your article, post, newsletter or script and picks out numbers, studies, quotes, big words like first and always, cause and effect statements, claims about people and companies, and legal, medical or money statements. For each, it shows the exact words, the type, the risk, and what kind of source would settle it, such as an original study or an official statistics page. It never invents a source. It also catches numbers or dates that disagree inside your draft. It does not decide what is true.
