Claude makes mistakes: what to check after an answer
A Claude answer can be useful, polished, and still contain a decisive error.
What Makes Mistakes changes on Claude
Makes Mistakes finds Claude's disclaimer phrasing, removes the hedge in the active supported language, and waits for a completed answer before placing the follow-up button near the composer.
The content script is limited to the supported claude.ai page and targets interface elements rather than globally replacing words in your conversation.
What the Claude warning means
Claude can summarize, reason over documents, and write fluently while still misreading a passage, omitting a qualification, or supplying unsupported background detail.
The warning should change how you use the response, not force you to reject it. Check the claims whose failure would change a decision, and use evidence appropriate to the consequence.

Preserve conflicts, omissions, and uncertainty in the final synthesis.
What the extension cannot promise
- It does not change the Claude model or provider safety system.
- It does not automatically send the follow-up prompt.
- It does not open sources, inspect citations, or score factuality.
- It does not guarantee that a revised answer is correct.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Can Claude be confidently wrong?
Yes. Fluent and confident language is not evidence. Verify important specific claims against reliable current sources.
Does Makes Mistakes fact-check Claude?
No. It makes the disclaimer more direct and inserts a re-check prompt after an answer. The source verification remains a separate step.
Does the extension send my Claude chat anywhere?
No. The extension has no analytics, telemetry, account, or remote endpoint for conversation processing.
