cove

cove-verify 是一个 Chain of Verification 事实核查工具：从待发送的响应中抽取事实声明，对照用户工作区文件、记忆 Markdown 与记忆数据库核验，standard/deep 策略再调用 Brave 搜索；报告不准确声明并给出修正，支持文本或 JSON 输出与严格模式，需 Node 运行环境与 LLM API Key。

cove-verify

Verify factual claims in your responses using Chain of Verification (CoVe). The tool extracts claims, checks them against the user's workspace, memory, and optionally the web, then reports inaccuracies with corrections.

When to Use

You SHOULD verify your response when:

Making specific factual claims about the user's business, products, customers, or data
Citing dates, numbers, statistics, or metrics from the user's files
Referring to past conversations or decisions from memory
Answering questions about the user's documentation or policies

You do NOT need to verify:

General knowledge, common sense, or widely known facts
Code you wrote (test it instead)
Creative content, opinions, or brainstorming
Simple conversational responses

Usage

# Verify a response (basic — checks memory + workspace)
cove-verify -r "Alice is on the Enterprise tier and pays $499/month."

# Standard policy — also checks the web
cove-verify -r "Revenue grew 15% last quarter." -p standard

# Deep policy — multi-step reasoning with web search
cove-verify -r "The contract SLA is 99.9% uptime." -p deep

# Pipe from stdin
echo "Your subscription renews on April 1st." | cove-verify --stdin

# JSON output for programmatic use
cove-verify -r "Bob signed up on March 5th." -f json

# Strict mode — fail if claims can't be confirmed
cove-verify -r "The API rate limit is 1000 req/min." --strict

# Report only (no auto-correction)
cove-verify -r "Meeting is scheduled for 3pm." --no-correct

Options

Flag	Short	Description	Default
`--response`	`-r`	Response text to verify	—
`--stdin`		Read response from stdin	false
`--policy`	`-p`	`basic`, `standard`, `deep`	basic
`--strict`		Fail if any claim is unverifiable	false
`--format`	`-f`	`text` or `json`	text
`--no-correct`		Report only, don't auto-correct	false

Policies

Policy	Memory	Workspace	Web Search	Use When
basic	✅	✅	❌	Internal facts (customers, products, config)
standard	✅	✅	✅	Facts that may need external confirmation
deep	✅	✅	✅	Critical claims requiring thorough verification

Workflow

Draft your response as usual
Run cove-verify -r "your response" to check claims
Fix any inaccuracies (the tool suggests corrections)
Send the corrected response

If the tool auto-corrects, use the corrected version. Let the user know you verified the response and share the results — transparency builds trust.

Data Access

This skill reads the following to build verification context:

Workspace files: text files in ~/.openclaw/workspace/ (top-level only, max 10KB each)
Memory files: markdown files in ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/ (depth 2)
Memory database: text chunks from ~/.openclaw/memory/main.sqlite (max 20KB aggregate)
Custom paths: any paths listed in knowledge_sources.document_paths in your config

For standard and deep policies, it also queries the Brave Search API (requires BRAVE_API_KEY).

All data stays local to the verification pipeline — nothing is stored or sent beyond the configured LLM provider.

Exit Codes

0 — All claims verified (or no claims found)
1 — One or more claims are inaccurate
2 — Strict mode: claims are unverifiable (not necessarily wrong)
