create-rubric

create-rubric is a command for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/ai-design-skills. It costs 10 tokens per session (438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for building a scoring rubric, a written scale for judging the quality of AI output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose quality dimensions, create 1-to-5 descriptions and examples, assign weights, calculate an overall score, and connect poor scores to failure types.
Why use it?
It makes reviews more consistent by defining what qualities matter, what each score means, and how scores are combined.

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-rubric 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

You are building a quality evaluation rubric. Use only skills from the evaluation plugin. Follow this process:

Step 1: Define What You're Evaluating

  • What AI feature or output type is this rubric for?
  • What does the user expect from this output?
  • What are the highest-priority quality attributes?

Step 2: Select Quality Dimensions

Using output-quality-rubrics:

  • Select relevant quality dimensions from: accuracy, relevance, completeness, helpfulness, clarity, tone appropriateness, safety
  • Add any domain-specific dimensions needed
  • Define each dimension in concrete terms for this specific output type

Step 3: Build the Scoring Scale

Using output-quality-rubrics:

  • For each dimension, create a 1-5 scale with detailed descriptions at each level
  • Write anchor examples at levels 1, 3, and 5
  • Define what differentiates each adjacent level

Step 4: Weight the Dimensions

Using output-quality-rubrics and task-success-metrics:

  • Assign weights to each dimension based on importance for the user's task
  • Justify the weighting
  • Define the overall score calculation

Step 5: Map to Failure Types

Using failure-taxonomy:

  • For each low score (1-2) on each dimension, identify the corresponding failure type
  • This connects the rubric to the failure tracking system

Step 6: Design Calibration

Using output-quality-rubrics:

  • Create a calibration set of 5 outputs with pre-scored ratings
  • Write evaluator instructions
  • Define the calibration process for new evaluators

Output

Deliver a complete evaluation rubric:

  1. Dimension definitions with scoring scales (1-5)
  2. Anchor examples at levels 1, 3, and 5 for each dimension
  3. Dimension weights and overall score formula
  4. Failure type mapping
  5. Calibration set with pre-scored outputs
  6. Evaluator instructions

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-rubric is a command published in the GitHub repository Owl-Listener/ai-design-skills (172 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 438 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
