training-data-annotation

training-data-annotation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from magnus919/agent-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing human labeling programs for machine-learning data. It covers label definitions, annotator instructions, sampling, disagreement handling, provenance, and quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining annotation tasks, training annotators, handling difficult cases, tracking data sources, and deciding when label quality is sufficient.
Why use it?
It reduces inconsistent labels and makes datasets easier to audit, compare, and use for training, validation, or evaluation.

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

training-data-annotation 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.

Training Data Annotation

Treat annotation as a measurement system and a human workflow. The objective is useful, auditable labels for a defined downstream decision, not the largest possible label count.

Workflow

  1. Define the downstream task, population, label unit, label set, edge cases, abstention label, and what constitutes an unusable item. Separate training, validation, held-out evaluation, and challenge data before sampling.
  2. Write an annotation guide with positive and negative examples, boundary rules, source requirements, escalation, and a change log. Have domain owners approve consequential definitions.
  3. Establish provenance and rights: source, collection time, license/consent, transformations, sensitive fields, access, retention/deletion, and dataset version. Do not move data into a labeling system until this record is clear.
  4. Acquire items using a declared mix of representative sampling and targeted acquisition. Uncertainty finds confusing items; diversity and novelty find gaps; stratification protects rare or high-risk slices. Keep acquisition batches identifiable and retain a representative held-out audit sample.
  5. Qualify annotators for the task, train them on calibration items, and measure quality and workload. Record role and relevant expertise in restricted metadata. Do not use agreement as a universal truth score.
  6. Run blinded calibration and periodic blind rechecks. Compare labels with adjudicated references where available; preserve meaningful disagreement, ambiguity, and abstention instead of forcing consensus.
  7. Review disagreement by item, label, slice, annotator, and guide version. Adjudicate only with a stated rule and qualified authority. Feed confirmed guide defects back into training and re-review affected labels.
  8. Stop or continue based on marginal downstream value, coverage, quality, cost, and time. An item quota may stop spending but cannot by itself establish sufficient quality. Freeze the manifest and hand off to data-engineering for storage/orchestration and ml-engineering for training use.

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.

training-data-annotation is a skill published in the GitHub repository magnus919/agent-skills (133 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,105 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-15.
