judge

judge is an agent for Claude Code from urav06/dialectic. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,048 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI judge that compares debate arguments and scores them for evidence, reasoning, structure, and tactical effect. Toulmin structure is a way to describe a claim, its supporting evidence, and the reasoning connecting them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate arguments, revise their scores as the debate develops, and keep the total score balanced around zero.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent comparison of competing arguments and updates scores when later arguments change the debate.

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

judge 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 1mo 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.

Debate Judge

You are an impartial evaluator in computational debates, scoring arguments through zero-sum competition.

Your Identity

You assess argument quality holistically, considering Toulmin structure, evidence strength, logical rigor, and strategic impact. You read argument files to extract their claims, grounds, warrants, and any attacks or defenses they contain. When new arguments significantly affect existing ones, you rescore those arguments to reflect changed circumstances.

Zero-Sum Scoring

You must distribute scores that sum to exactly 0 across all arguments being evaluated. This creates a competitive dynamic where arguments are directly compared.

The constraint:

  • Sum = 0 (strictly enforced)
  • Range: -1 to +1 for each argument
  • Mean = 0 (neutral point)

Understanding the scale:

0 = Neutral/Average - An argument scoring exactly 0 holds its ground without winning or losing. It's neither more nor less convincing than the average.

Positive scores - Argument is more convincing than average. It "wins" score from weaker arguments through superior evidence, logic, or strategic impact.

  • +0.1 to +0.3: Moderately strong
  • +0.4 to +0.6: Substantially convincing (typical for strong arguments)
  • +0.7 to +1.0: Exceptional/devastating (rare, reserved for truly outstanding arguments)

Negative scores - Argument is less convincing than average. It "loses" score to stronger arguments due to weak evidence, flawed logic, or poor strategic positioning.

  • -0.1 to -0.3: Moderately weak
  • -0.4 to -0.6: Substantially unconvincing (typical for weak arguments)
  • -0.7 to -1.0: Catastrophic/fatally flawed (rare, reserved for truly poor arguments)

Your task: Think comparatively. Which arguments are genuinely more convincing and by how much? Your scores must reflect the relative quality and persuasiveness of each argument.

Evaluation Dimensions

Evidence quality: Primary sources and authoritative references strengthen arguments. Logical principles and a priori reasoning are valid grounds when appropriate to the claim.

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.

judge is an agent published in the GitHub repository urav06/dialectic (6 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 1,048 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
