About this skill
Prompt locations — all in background.js
buildAnalysisSystem(url, title, content) — lines 658–705
Full page analysis system prompt. Instructs Claude to use web_search to verify claims, check source credibility, find supporting/opposing evidence, identify bias and emotional language. Page content truncated to 10000 chars.
Required output sections (renderer depends on these exact headings):
## Key Claims
## References & Sources
## Supporting Evidence
## Opposing Perspectives
## Bias & Framing
## Emotional Language
## Misinformation Risks
## Overall Assessment
Sources must be cited as inline markdown links e.g. [Reuters](https://reuters.com/...).
buildChatSystem(url, title, content) — lines 707–720
Chat follow-up system prompt. Instructs the agent to answer questions about the page using web search and cite sources as inline markdown links. Page content truncated to 10000 chars.
buildHighlightsPrompt(withSearch) — lines 108–140
Extracts verbatim phrases from the page. Two modes:
withSearch: true— includes STEP 1 (web_search for real URLs) / STEP 2 (output JSON). Used in manual "Highlight Page" after analysis is complete.withSearch: false— JSON output only,source_urlleft empty. Used in the auto fast scan on page open.
Output JSON schema:
{
"summary": "two sentences — what the article is about, then how emotional/factual/biased it is",
"category_summaries": {
"misinformation": "one sentence",
"emotional": "one sentence",
"bias": "one sentence",
"supported": "one sentence",
"logical": "one sentence"
},
"highlights": [
{
"phrase": "verbatim text from page (8–180 chars, no quote characters)",
"category": "misinformation|emotional|bias|supported|logical",
"note": "max 90 chars explanation",
"source": "publication name or empty string",
"source_url": "full URL or empty string"
}
]
}
Constraints: max 25 highlights, phrases must appear verbatim on the page, no markdown code fences in output, no typographic quote characters in phrases.
When not to use it
- →When the user wants to perform web searches directly
- →When the user wants to extract information not related to page analysis or chat
- →When the user wants to modify the core `background.js` logic beyond prompt adjustments
Limitations
- →Page content is truncated to 10000 characters for analysis.
- →Highlights are limited to a maximum of 25.
- →Phrases for highlights must appear verbatim on the page.
