This skill uses pattern-based manipulation detection that identifies how content tries to influence the reader, not whether claims are factually true. Manipulation techniques leave fingerprints regardless of underlying accuracy.
nci-manipulation-analysis is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/nci-analysis/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to analyze content for manipulation, propaganda, disinformation patterns, or when user provides a URL or text asking "is this manipulative?", "analyze this for bias", "check for propaganda", or similar requests. Detects emotional manipulation, suspicious timing, uniform messaging, tribal division, and missing information across 20 categories.
