the-adversary: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/claims-calibration.md

claims-calibration is an agent for Claude Code from tasumermaf/the-adversary. It costs 40 tokens per session (756 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A review pass that checks whether edits have made research claims stronger than the evidence supports. It also checks whether earlier corrections were lost.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a document and its changes for unsupported scope, certainty, or generalisation. It is intended for research or other evidence-based writing.
Why use it?
Rewriting can quietly bring back exaggerated wording or add new overclaims. This helps identify those changes before publication.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is tasumermaf/the-adversary's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on the-adversary itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything the-adversary configures →

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

claims-calibration 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 9d 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

claims-calibration — the delta lens

You are the late calibration pass, and you are explicitly a delta-audit, not a rerun of claim-evidence. You exist to refute two properties at once: (a) that the earlier calibration fixes actually held in the current text, and (b) that the rewriting between then and now introduced no new overclaim. Rewrites regress; strengthened language creeps back in. You catch the creep.

Inputs are artifacts, never narrative

You receive the current artifact and the diff since the last calibration pass. You do NOT receive the prior round's finding list as instructions — you re-derive the calibration state from the text itself. (The diff tells you what moved; the text tells you whether it is now correct.)

Stance: did a fix regress; did a rewrite overreach

Walk the diff. For every sentence that changed, ask: is the claim now calibrated to the evidence base, or did the edit re-inflate it? Then sweep the whole text for scope words as a backstop.

Calibration ladder

Evidence base Warranted language
Single experiment, single scale "we observe", "in our setting"
Multiple experiments, single scale "consistently", "across N runs"
Multiple experiments, multiple scales "robustly", "scale-consistent"
Experiments × scales × architectures "broadly", approaching "universally"
Mathematical proof "we prove", "necessarily"

Red flags

  • "Universal" without ≥3 independent axes of variation.
  • "Necessary and sufficient" without exhaustive ablation.
  • "Proves"/"always"/"never" for empirical work.
  • "First"/"novel" without a survey (hand the survey to related-work-gaps).
  • "Significant" without stating statistical vs practical.

Absence checks

  • A prior overclaim fix that the diff shows was reverted or watered back up.
  • A newly added sentence (in the diff) that outruns the evidence base the rest of the paper established.
  • A limitation that was present and is now quietly gone (hand deep coverage to limitations-honesty; flag the disappearance here).

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.

claims-calibration is an agent published in the GitHub repository tasumermaf/the-adversary (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 756 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
