Discernment Nudge is a skill in Anthropic's skills repository that makes the agent end some answers with two or three short follow-up questions. Its description says to use it after a substantive answer the user may act on, such as advice, a plan, an estimate, a data analysis or a factual claim, and to ask questions that help check facts, question the reasoning and notice missing context, drawn from Anthropic's AI Fluency framework. It runs at most once per conversation and is skipped for trivial lookups, casual chat, code the user will run and requests that already ask for a double-check. We would suggest it for teams who worry about over-trust in agent answers. The limit is that it adds length to replies. The folder holds an Apache 2.0 LICENSE.txt, the install line we list is the marketplace command for the whole repository, and the repository was last pushed on 6 November 2026, as read on 11 November. We have not run it ourselves.
