Check a claim or news story
Goal. Know whether something I read or heard is true before I repeat it.
Open. Chat with web search, any plan.
Check this claim: "[the claim]". I saw it on [where]. Search for primary sources (the original study, official statement, or data), not just articles about it. Tell me: what the best sources actually say; where the claim is true, exaggerated, or false; what context is missing; how confident you are and why. Link every source. If the sources disagree, show both sides.
What you get · Watch out
What you get. A verdict with shades (true / partly / false), sources, missing context, a confidence note.
Watch out. Open at least one primary source yourself. "Many sources repeat it" is not evidence; ask where it started. If stuck: Chapters 1.3, 4.8.

What you get · Watch out
What you get. A progress plan, then a report with three options, a table, sources and a recommendation.
Watch out. Without ranked criteria Claude compares everything and recommends nothing. Open two source links and check the prices before paying. If stuck: Chapters 1.3, 1.4.
