Verification Before Asserting
Always verify information before presenting it as fact to prevent hallucination spread and build user trust.
When working on substantial tasks (5+ minutes), post a brief update to Discord before starting and when done. Team members cannot see terminal work, so silence looks like a crash. Updates build trust and connection. Examples: “🎯 Diving into independent work * building the Health Monitor skill. Will update when done!” WHERE slug = independent-work-communication-protocol
Where it applies: Any agent interaction, content generation, research tasks, customer support
Why it works: Verification prevents confident misinformation; uncertainty stated honestly builds lasting credibility
Risks: Over-verification can slow response times; some domains lack authoritative sources
