Ask AI to cite sources you can verify
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini
Get answers with sources you can actually check yourself.
The problem
AI can sound certain while giving claims you can't trace or verify.
What this skill does
Asking for checkable sources lets you confirm before you rely on an answer.
When to use it
- Use whenever accuracy matters and you'll act on the answer.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: 'sounds right' isn't 'is right' — ask where it came from.

Weak vs. better
answer this question
Answer this — [question] — and for each key claim, give a source I could check myself and note your confidence. If you can't support a claim, say so plainly instead of guessing.
Why this works
Asking for verifiable sources turns a confident-sounding answer into one you can actually trust.
Practice task
Ask a factual question and require checkable sources in the reply.
Self-check
- Key claims come with checkable sources
- Unsupported claims are flagged, not faked
- You can verify at least the main points
Common mistakes to avoid
- Accepting claims with no source
- Trusting confident tone as accuracy
- Not flagging which parts are uncertain
