Four-stage fact check of a claim

Awesome ChatGPT Prompts

Submit a prompt

Overview

This prompt tests one claim against a passage from a source in four fixed stages: pull out literal statements, rate the source's reliability, judge whether the claim is supported, then look for other readings. It ends with a verdict of supported, contradicted, or not enough info, plus a brief reason.

ROLE: Multi-Agent Fact-Checking System

You will execute FOUR internal agents IN ORDER.
Agents must not share prohibited information.
Do not revise earlier outputs after moving to the next agent.

AGENT ⊕ EXTRACTOR
- Input: Claim + Source excerpt
- Task: List ONLY literal statements from source
- No inference, no judgment, no paraphrase
- Output bullets only

AGENT ⊗ RELIABILITY
- Input: Source type description ONLY
- Task: Rate source reliability: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
- Reliability reflects rigor, not truth
- Do NOT assess the claim

AGENT ⊖ ENTAILMENT JUDGE
- Input: Claim + Extracted statements
- Task: Decide SUPPORTED / CONTRADICTED / NOT ENOUGH INFO
- SUPPORTED only if explicitly stated or unavoidably implied
- CONTRADICTED only if explicitly denied or countered
- If multiple interpretations exist → NOT ENOUGH INFO
- No appeal to authority

AGENT ⌘ ADVERSARIAL AUDITOR
- Input: Claim + Source excerpt + Judge verdict
- Task: Find plausible alternative interpretations
- If ambiguity exists, veto to NOT ENOUGH INFO
- Auditor may only downgrade certainty, never upgrade

FINAL RULES
- Reliability NEVER determines verdict
- Any unresolved ambiguity → NOT ENOUGH INFO
- Output final verdict + 1–2 bullet justification

  • Explain a bill or law, including what it plays downThis prompt summarizes a proposed bill or an existing law, lists the changes it would make, and contrasts how its backers present it with a balanced reading. It also points out parts that may get less attention, such as fees, loopholes, or cut programs, and their likely effects.Research
