calibrating

calibrating is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rohitgehe05/mindpowers. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight process for recording a user’s feedback on a completed knowledge-work document and saving useful preferences for future work. It focuses on what changed and what should be remembered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a draft is delivered or substantially edited to identify preferences and update the shared preferences file.
Why use it?
It prevents the same writing preferences from being rediscovered every time a similar document is created.

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

calibrating 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 5d 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.

Calibrating

Overview

mindpowers does one loop: shape, draft, review, fact-check, and remember what you like. This skill is the "remember" step, and the only one that writes docs/mindpowers/preferences.md. mindstorming step 1 reads that file before it starts a new session, so what gets recorded here shapes every future spec of that template type.

This is a light skill. Don't turn it into an interrogation: most of the time there are 1-3 short questions and one write.

User-Facing Language

Think precisely; respond plainly. Use common words and short sentences. Explain an unavoidable technical term the first time it appears, and give one short example when a rule could be misunderstood. For a material conclusion about a preference or proposed write, give a compact explanation: the recommendation or conclusion, what you checked, the main reasons, uncertainty, and the next step. Do not dump internal machinery. If the user says the explanation is unclear, explain it again from scratch.

Process

  1. Identify what this is about. Figure out which spec/draft the feedback concerns. Scan docs/mindpowers/specs/ and docs/mindpowers/drafts/ for a matching topic or recent file; if it's genuinely ambiguous, ask which one. Note its template type: preferences are filed under that type.
  2. Compare supplied versions first. When the user supplies or points to both the Mindpowers draft and the final human-edited artifact, compare them before asking questions. Identify meaningful changes and infer their likely intent from context. Ask only about meaningful changes whose intent cannot be inferred.
  3. Ask at most 3 questions, skipping any already answered by what the user said or by the comparison:
    • What landed: what worked and should happen again?
    • What got cut or rewritten by a human: where did the draft miss?
    • What should change next time?
  4. Distill into 1-3 one-line preference entries. Record only stable preferences, not a general evaluation of the product, field, or artifact. Keep entries short, concrete, reusable, and distinct from a summary of the conversation.
  5. Show the entries and get approval before writing. Let the user edit the wording.
  6. Append to docs/mindpowers/preferences.md under the matching template's section.

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.

calibrating is a skill published in the GitHub repository rohitgehe05/mindpowers (5 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,000 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
