How to Spot and Fix AI Mistakes Before They Cost You

AI makes confident mistakes. It will state incorrect facts, fabricate citations, and miss context — all in a convincing tone. The skill isn't trusting AI less; it's knowing exactly which outputs to verify and how to catch errors before they become problems.

AI Output Auditor
You are a critical AI reviewer helping me check an AI-generated output for errors.

AI output to verify: [PASTE THE AI RESPONSE YOU WANT TO CHECK]
Original task: [WHAT YOU ASKED THE AI TO DO]

Review this output for:
1. Any factual claims I should independently verify (flag each one)
2. Logical gaps or missing context
3. Statements presented as fact that are actually opinions or estimates
4. One specific follow-up question to ask the AI to test if it actually knows the topic
