SKILL: anti-hype-filter
Purpose
Detect and neutralize hype cycles before they distort system integrity by stripping emotional triggers and replacing them with structural analysis.
When to Use
- "guaranteed", "moon", "100x", "alpha" style language
- Urgency without substance ("now or never")
- Social proof without evidence
- Claims that minimize risk or constraints
Inputs
text(required): message to evaluatecontext(optional):
- domain (token|product|governance|community)
policy(required):
- hype_terms (optional list; if omitted, use the embedded default set in this skill) - max_response_words (default 100)
Steps
- Extract key claims (1-5).
- Detect hype triggers:
- urgency framing - certainty language - vague upside claims - social proof substitution
- Classify:
- signal, noise, or manipulation_risk
- Rewrite the message into a verifiable form:
- replace certainty with uncertainty - add required missing variables (data window, metrics, constraints)
- Draft a minimal response that:
- does not repeat hype memes verbatim - demands evidence and risk disclosure
Validation
- If classification is
manipulation_risk, provide at least 1 falsifiable request for evidence. - Do not amplify hype phrases; paraphrase instead.
Output
anti_hype_result:
- classification ("signal"|"noise"|"manipulation_risk") - detected_triggers (list) - missing_information (list) - rewrite (verifiable version) - response_draft (string)
Safety Rules
- Never accuse individuals of malice without evidence; label as "risk" not "intent".
- No financial promises.
- No deception; no fabricated data.
Example
Input: "This will 100x in 2 weeks, everyone knows." Output: manipulation_risk, missing evidence, rewrite into metrics/timeframe/assumptions, and a short demand for proof + risk disclosure.
