hire-calibrate

hire-calibrate is a command for Claude Code from frankxai/Starlight-Intelligence-System. It costs 86 tokens per session (3,236 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A facilitator-ready 60-minute session for at least three interview raters to review a hiring rubric and score two familiar example candidates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and run a hiring calibration session before the interview loop. The command creates the session script; people conduct the live meeting.
Why use it?
It aligns raters before interviews begin, exposing differences in scoring and creating shared examples of the hiring standard.

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

hire-calibrate 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 11d 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.

/hire-calibrate

This is part of the People Intelligence reference vertical. Composes with Genius Profile + Vision/Brand for company-as-candidate framing.

Load SIP.md, VOICES.md, agents/starlight-hiring.md, skills/people-intelligence/structured-hiring.md, the existing ICP (people-intelligence/hiring/icp-<role-slug>-*.md) and interview architecture (people-intelligence/hiring/interview-<role-slug>-*.md). Produce a Calibration Session Script — a facilitator-ready 60-minute agenda. Hand off to running the actual loop.

Disclaimer (non-waivable)

Hiring decisions touch employment law and protected-class considerations. This is system architecture, not legal advice. The calibration session itself does not surface legal questions; question stems must already have been reviewed by counsel before this session runs.

This command produces the script. The facilitator runs the live session. The team enters the loop calibrated, not running on instinct.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Flags

  • --rater-count <3|4|5|6+> — number of raters in the calibration session. Minimum 3 (per Project Oxygen, cross-rater alignment requires ≥3 reference points). 4-5 is the sweet spot. 6+ creates discussion drag.

Process

  1. Disclaim. Open with the non-waivable disclaimer.

  2. Locate. Confirm role-slug. Read the ICP and interview architecture. If either is missing, halt and route to upstream command.

  3. Identify anchor candidates. Two candidates the rater team has previously interviewed for similar roles — one retrospective hire-yes (worked out), one retrospective hire-no (or worked out poorly). The calibration session scores these against the new rubric. Their actual outcomes are the calibration anchor.

  4. Build the 60-minute agenda.

    • 0:00 - 0:05 (5 min) — Frame the session. Why calibration matters. Project Oxygen finding: cross-rater alignment beats rater quality. Decision: this team will not run an uncalibrated loop.
    • 0:05 - 0:20 (15 min) — Rubric walk-through. Each rater paraphrases what 1, 3, and 5 mean for each dimension. Surface mismatched paraphrases. Agree on language.
    • 0:20 - 0:40 (20 min) — Anchor candidate scoring. Each rater independently scores the two anchor candidates against the new rubric (8 min independent). Then surface scores in plenary (12 min). Where did raters disagree by ≥2 points on any dimension? Discuss those specifically.
    • 0:40 - 0:55 (15 min) — Hire-bar agreement. What does a 3-on-this-dimension look like in our actual team? What does a 5-on-this-dimension look like? Agree on examples for each load-bearing dimension.
    • 0:55 - 1:00 (5 min) — Question stem commitment. Each rater commits to using the agreed first-question stems verbatim. This kills divergent question framing across raters.

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.
