Apply Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) prompting to improve response accuracy through self-verification. Use when complex questions require fact-checking, technical accuracy, or multi-step reasoning. --- # Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) CoVe is a verification technique that improves response accuracy by making the model fact-check its own answers. Instead of accepting an initial response at face value, CoVe instructs the model to generate verification questions, answer them independently, and revise the original answer based on findings. ## Conventions Read capy knowledge base conventions at [shared-capy-knowledge-protocol.md](shared-capy-knowledge-protocol.md). **Capy restriction:** CoVe is a read-only verification tool. Do NOT call `capy_index` or `capy_fetch_and_index` during this workflow. Use `capy_search` only. If corrections reveal knowledge worth persisting, the calling agent handles indexing after CoVe completes. ## When to Use This Skill
Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Sort by downloads/likes/comments/updated to find higher-quality skills.
4. Which import methods are supported?
Upload archive: .zip / .skill (recommended)
Upload skills folder
Import from GitHub repository
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
5. How to use in Claude / Codex?
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
Claude Code:~/.claude/skills/
Codex CLI:~/.codex/skills/
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
6. Can one skill be shared across tools?
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
7. Are these skills safe to use?
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
8. Why does it not work after import?
Most common reasons:
Wrong folder path or nested one level too deep
Invalid/incomplete SKILL.md fields or format
Dependencies missing (Python/Node/CLI)
Tool has not reloaded skills yet
9. Does SkillWink include duplicates/low-quality skills?
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
