Verify Claims skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Verify claims and information using professional fact-checking services. Use this skill when users want to verify facts, check claims in articles/videos/transcripts, validate news authenticity, cross-reference information with trusted fact-checkers, or investigate potentially false or misleading content. Triggers include requests to "fact check", "verify this", "is this true", "check if this is accurate", or when users share content they want validated against misinformation.

The Verify Claims skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install the Verify Claims skill

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for verify-claims and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add the Verify Claims skill with a single command:

openclaw skills add verify-claims

This pulls verify-claims from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/verify-claims/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use the Verify Claims skill

Once installed, the Verify Claims skill activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Turning video into a finished short

Verify Claims works with video. Getting from there to something postable is a separate job: ViralMint — an open-source video pipeline — reframes to vertical, cleans the audio, cuts dead air, burns animated captions, and exports a version sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

It runs as an MCP server, so an OpenClaw agent can drive it from the same chat you already use: ask for a short, and the render comes back finished. See how to connect a video pipeline to your agent.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download skill .zip button above to grab verify-claims-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/verify-claims/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
