calibrate

calibrate is a skill for Claude Code from XRenSiu/claude-code-forge. It costs 359 tokens per session (4,921 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking whether an evaluation standard is trustworthy before using it to approve work. It tests the tests or rubric itself, including whether it works on unseen cases and remains separate from the work being judged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before putting an evaluation-case set or scoring rubric in charge of a release or other gate.
Why use it?
It helps prevent weak or decorative checks from approving incorrect results just because the checks pass.

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

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/verify_calibration.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

calibrate

Prove that a compiled standard — an eval_case set or a rubric_version — is load-bearing, not decorative, before it is allowed to gate anything. This is the meta-gate: the only gate that judges the thing that judges the output. This skill describes the two mirrors that certify a ruler, the two non-negotiables (holdout + isolation) that make the certification real, and the meta-gate verdict that decides whether a standard may go live. It prescribes no step order — the engine sequences the work; what follows are the gaps to fill and the gates that must hold, in any order.

The gap (why a green test report is not a calibrated ruler)

A composite of three atoms: Judgment (what counts as a calibrated standard), Capability (run mutation testing / compute an agreement matrix / carve a holdout), and Control (the meta-gate seam — non-compliant forbids activation).

The load-bearing reason this is not free:

calibrate is a skill published in the GitHub repository XRenSiu/claude-code-forge (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 359 tokens to every session and 4,921 once invoked, about $0.0014 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 2026-09-05.
