When the agent's epistemic state (GCCRF) indicates low empowerment and falling certainty, hedges out confident absolutes ("definitely", "always", "100%") in outgoing messages.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# calibrate-claim-confidence
Bitterbot has an epistemic state (the GCCRF reward function) that quantifies how empowered the agent feels by its current knowledge: high empowerment means it has corroborated context, low means it's running on uncertain ground. When the agent is about to send a message containing confident absolutes ("definitely", "certainly", "always", "100%") but its empowerment is low and its certainty is dropping, this interceptor rewrites the message into hedged language.
This is the canonical example of state-binding: no other agent framework reads `gccrf.empowerment` to decide whether to hedge an outgoing statement.
## What you'll see
When the agent is uncertain, you will see softer language: "likely" instead of "definitely", "typically" instead of "always", "it appears" instead of "obviously". When it is confident (high empowerment, rising certainty), absolutes are left intact.
## Implementation
Built-in interceptor `calibrate-claim-confidence:default` lives in `src/agents/skills/builtin-interceptors/calibrate-claim-confidence.ts`. Fires up to 6 times per session.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add bitterbot-ai/bitterbot-desktop/calibrate-claim-confidence@sha256:40c07318651e85c1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260523.6463e9f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
