What does this document actually say?
A Claude Code skill that scans a business plan, funding deck, product proposal, or requirements doc for vapor — buzzwords, unsourced claims, vanity metrics, undefined core terms, and missing failure cases — then gives a credibility score and a concrete rewrite.
Not a roast. A translation layer: every sentence that cannot be checked gets flagged, and every flagged sentence gets a rewrite that could be checked.
| Detector | Example |
|---|---|
| Buzzword density | "a full-stack, closed-loop ecosystem" / "seamless, world-class, end-to-end solution" |
| Unattributed claims | "the market responded enthusiastically" — how many people, when, saying what? |
| Vanity metrics | registrations instead of week-two retention; downloads instead of DAU |
| Undefined terms | "our moat is the algorithm" — which algorithm, and why can't others copy it? |
| Missing negative space | No risks, no failure conditions, no "we stop if X is false" |
Scored 0–100 across five dimensions.

Is this proposal real? Audit it for hype before I sign off.
Which claims in this requirements doc cannot be verified?
The skill quotes the original text for every finding — it will not paraphrase your document, because paraphrase reads as misrepresentation.
- Quote, don't summarize. Every finding cites the source sentence verbatim.
- Separate "vague" from "wrong." Most problems are unclear claims, not lies. The wording targets unverifiability, never accuses the author of deception.
- Rewrites must be checkable. "Add more data" is not a rewrite; "X dropped from 4h to 1.5h (internal, 2026 Q2)" is.
- No industry judgment. The skill evaluates whether the argument holds, not whether the business will work.
- Short documents get no total score. Under one page, there is not enough to score fairly.
