Who it is forA developer who wrote a rubric from their instruction files and finds some rules either silent or noisy.
The problemA badly worded rule scores 0.4 on everything and never fires, so it adds no protection and nobody notices.
The outcomeRules that never fire are switched off, and remaining rules are reworded so their verdicts are useful.
What you need first
- A TypeSafe API key from typesafe.ai, or a Vercel AI Gateway key
- A terminal with npx available
- A git repository with project instruction files such as AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md
- One or more supported agents installed: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or Pi
Steps
- Run
abide reportto see your rules, which ones fired, and which never fire. - Run
abide calibrateto score every rule against twenty real hunks from your git history. - Run
abide tuneto have the agent rewrite the rules that never fire. - Run
abide compileto recompile the rubric now instead of waiting for the next session. - Run
abide reportagain and confirm the rules changed as expected.
Prompt for your agent
In the repo <repo-path>, run `abide report`, then `abide calibrate`, then `abide tune`. Report which rules were switched off or rewritten, and confirm `.abide/rubric.json` still parses.
Caveat. The README says compile and tune use Claude Code by default or Pi when Claude is unavailable, so one of those must be installed and logged in.
