# AI Hallucination Fact-Check Protocol

## What This Skill Does

Generates a fact-checking protocol specifically adapted for AI-generated text — extending the SIFT framework (Caulfield, 2019) with AI-specific moves that address the unique challenge of LLM hallucination. Standard lateral reading assumes a source has an institutional author whose funding and credibility can be investigated. This assumption breaks down for AI-generated text: there is no author to investigate, no institutional funding to check, no About Us page to scrutinise. What r
