create-study

An automated runbook for creating crowdsourced speech-quality studies with the P.808 toolkit. P.808 is a method for collecting people’s ratings of speech recordings.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare studies, create checking clips, upload files, build projects for crowdsourcing, and collect the required settings before running a test.
Why use it?
It organizes study setup details that are easy to miss, such as test clips, quality-check clips, file storage, and the chosen crowdsourcing platform.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-study scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 850 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create subjective test instructions

Use this runbook when asked to create a new subjective speech quality test with the P.808 toolkit.

Trigger phrases: "create a study", "run a [method] test", "set up a [method] study", "prepare a [method] test for these files".

Platform and shell adaptation

Code examples use PowerShell on Windows (\ paths). Adapt for other OS/shells: replace PowerShell cmdlets with equivalents, use python3 if needed, convert paths. Replace REPO_ROOT with the actual absolute path of this repository.

Best-practice variables

These are best-practice defaults. Confirm or override them with the requester before first use. After confirmation, save a .cfg file next to the input files so future runs can reuse it. When asked to re-run a test or "go yolo", look for an existing config file first.

BEST_PRACTICE_PLATFORM             = Prolific
BEST_PRACTICE_VALID_VOTE_BUFFER    = 20%
BEST_PRACTICE_CLIPS_PER_SESSION    = 10
BEST_PRACTICE_GOLD_PER_SESSION     = 1   (use 2 for P.804 — see method-specific notes)
BEST_PRACTICE_TRAPPING_PER_SESSION = 1
BEST_PRACTICE_TRAINING_CLIPS       = 5
BEST_PRACTICE_GOLD_SOURCE_COUNT    = max(3, ceil(0.05 * number_of_rating_clips))
BEST_PRACTICE_TRAPPING_SOURCE_COUNT= max(3, ceil(0.05 * number_of_rating_clips))
BEST_PRACTICE_MAX_GOLD_SOURCE_CLIPS    = 15
BEST_PRACTICE_MAX_TRAPPING_SOURCE_CLIPS= 15
BEST_PRACTICE_ALLOWED_MAX_HITS     = min(int(number_of_rating_clips / 10), 50)
BEST_PRACTICE_BASE_PAYMENT         = 0.50
BEST_PRACTICE_QUANTITY_BONUS       = 0.10
BEST_PRACTICE_QUALITY_BONUS        = 0.15
BEST_PRACTICE_BW_MIN               = FB

Scope

This instruction covers preparing inputs, generating gold/trapping clips, uploading to storage, running master_script.py, and handing off for publishing. Setting up the HIT in a HITAPP server and publishing is done by the requester.

Mandatory pre-check

Before editing or running anything in this repository:

  1. Read AGENTS.md and .github\copilot-instructions.md.
  2. Confirm this is a creation task, not analysis. For analysis, use .github\evaluate.instruction.md instead.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

create-study is an agent published in the GitHub repository microsoft/P.808 (230 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 10,194 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
