Run an evidence-seeking calibration roundtable to realign the plan with the North Star. Use when pausing between phases, when agents disagree, when reviewing work, when the user mentions "calibrate" or "realign", or when making decisions that affect the plan.
The 'calibrate' skill is designed to orchestrate evidence-based calibration sessions that realign a project's plan with its North Star objectives. It is particularly useful when transitioning between phases, resolving disagreements among agents, reviewing work, or making decisions that affect the project plan. The skill ensures that the team stays on track by gathering and evaluating relevant evidence, addressing discrepancies, and adjusting the course of action to ensure alignment with key goals. By utilizing a structured process, this skill helps to enhance decision-making accuracy and maintain project consistency across various phases.
Use the calibrate skill when pausing between project phases, when agents disagree, during work reviews, or when the user mentions 'calibrate' or 'realign'. It is also essential when detecting project drift or making decisions that impact the plan.
Saying 'calibrate' or '/calibrate' triggers the full calibration protocol, where the system runs a structured roundtable to realign the plan with the North Star objectives based on evidence.
The skill utilizes tools like file reading/writing for the North Star card and requirements specs, Beads and BV for tracking status and dependencies, testing tools like pytest for validation, and historical context tools like cass search to review previous calibration decisions.
The main agents in this skill are the Coverage Agent, Drift Agent, Challenge Agent, Synthesize Agent, and Report Agent. Each agent runs in a fresh context to handle specific tasks such as coverage checks, drift identification, challenge synthesis, and generating user reports.
