Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install source-verification-sift

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent applies the SIFT method, picks the reference that matches the type of evidence (social account, image, video, document, synthetic media, interview) and keeps a dated verification trail. It separates supporting, conflicting and missing evidence, then assigns a cautious result. You get a verification file you can review and defend.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need paid tools or accounts?

No, it describes a method. The resources.md reference lists specialised tools, free or paid, that you choose case by case.

Does it mention other skills?

Yes: social-media-intelligence, web-archiving and fact-check-workflow, for deeper analysis. It works without them.
