Show HN: Bullshit Detector – agent skills that fact-check videos and articles
A new open-source tool called 'Bullshit Detector' allows users to fact-check online content using AI agents. It provides claim-by-claim verification reports and a credibility score to help users navigate AI-generated hype.
Why it matters
As AI-generated misinformation becomes more prevalent, tools that automate verification are essential for maintaining digital literacy.
Agent skills that fact-check the internet. Point your agent at a viral YouTube video, article, tweet, or PDF — get a claim-by-claim verification report with sources and a BS score (0–10) instead of taking "10 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY WITH AI 🤯" at face value.
Portable Agent Skills — plain markdown + self-contained Python. They work in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and any harness that supports the skills format and has web search.
Built in the open with Claude Code — an AI helped build the tool that fact-checks AI hype, and the example report is it auditing its own kind.
