Polish LLM-written prose with the author's own reading as ground truth.
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
# Author-Calibrated Eval The ground truth for whether generated prose is "worth reading" lives in the eyes of the person who reads it (the author). Build the loop on that premise. Split the roles three ways. | What is checked | Who checks it | |---|---| | Readability and reading value (taste) | **The author**'s blind side-by-side read | | Faithfulness (things not in the materials, comparison target, qualifiers, substituted subject) | **LLM judge**. A cutoff of binary checks | | Format (position of citation marks, presence of markers, character count) | **Code** | Asking the LLM judge for a holistic readability verdict does not make it a substitute for the author. Measured (2026-09-23, jev-research-pipeline): even with a rubric that stated explicitly "having more information is not a reason to win", the Opus judge picked the more information-dense version as "easier to understand" in both orderings, while the author called the short version "very easy to understand" and the information-dense version "hard to read". On the other hand, the judge caught, in both orderings, a substituted comparison target that the author had not noticed while reading. ## 1. Fix the materials …

How to install
mdr add shimo4228/claude-harness/author-calibrated-eval@sha256:ea8b7557b3c0f45dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.b63e5f1, 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.
