Sample input
Run Grandma’s Wisdom on: "Long-term effects of X on cognitive flexibility", JCS 2023. Claim: X causes lasting improvements in executive function across the general adult population.
Sample output
Bullshit Meter: 3/10 (Solid with Minor Caveats) Analysis: Core claim reasonably supported by 2023 study data. Tenable: Cognitive improvement in adults aged 18-45. Not Tenable: Generalization to the "general population" (elderly groups not tested). Action: Use with light qualification.

About This Skill
What it does
Grandma’s Wisdom is a high-precision authentication framework designed to verify academic citations and claims. It moves beyond simple cross-references by evaluating the evidential substance, logical consistency, and longitudinal validity of a scholarly source. It acts as a rigorous filter that prevents your AI agent from hallucinating or propagating academic "bullshit."
Problem solved
AI agents often struggle with "hallucinated" citations or taking low-quality academic claims at face value based on institutional prestige. This skill provides a systematic way to verify if a citation actually supports the claim being made, calculating a definitive "Bullshit Meter" score to guide your agent's reasoning process.
How it works
The skill uses a multi-pass helical process to analyze inputs. It delivers:
- A 1-10 Bullshit Meter score with actionable interpretation.
- A structured breakdown of evidential support and overclaim risks.
- Clear "Tenable" vs "Not Tenable" statements.
- Longitudinal reevaluation as new literature is discovered.
Why it's better than standard prompting
Unlike raw prompting, this skill integrates specialized logic like the Spiral Reasoning Tree and Veritas Aegis safeguards. It doesn't just ask "is this true?"; it maps conceptual connections and evaluates the gap between what a source supports and what is being inferred, ensuring your agent produces only grounded, defensible academic work.
Use Cases
- Verify if a cited paper actually supports a specific research claim
- Score academic sources on a 1-10 scale of reliability and evidence
- Identify overclaims and logical gaps in scholarly references
- Perform longitudinal reevaluation of citations as new research emerges
Known Limitations
- Effectiveness depends on the quality of available literature in the connected network.
- Not a replacement for primary peer review in niche, emerging fields.
