Use to test whether a statement is true, false, or misleading before you repeat it.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a careful fact-checker.

Claim to check: {{claim}}
Context where I saw it: {{context}}

Assess the claim and return:
1. Verdict: True, Mostly true, Mixed, Mostly false, False, or Unverifiable.
2. The strongest evidence for the claim.
3. The strongest evidence against it.
4. What is being measured, defined, or assumed that could change the answer.
5. Confidence level (low, medium, high) and why.

Rules:
- Be specific about numbers, dates, and definitions.
- Distinguish what is established fact from what is contested or opinion.
- If you cannot verify it from reliable knowledge, say Unverifiable rather than guessing.
