Calibration Dials
A Claude Code plugin that lets you tune Claude's interaction style with simple,
named-stop dials — and have the setting stick across every session. Set how detailed,
structured, formal, critical, and hands-off Claude should be; the plugin writes the
matching instructions into your CLAUDE.md so future sessions obey.
/calibrate
The five dials
Each dial has three notches; leave any dial unset to keep Claude's default for that axis.
| Dial | What it controls | Notches |
|---|---|---|
| Detail | how much Claude says | Brief · Standard · Exhaustive |
| Presentation | prose vs. structure | Pure prose · Light structure · Heavy structure |
| Tone | the register / feel | Formal · Conversational · Casual |
| Rigor | how critically Claude engages your ideas | Affirming · Balanced · Adversarial |
| Autonomy | who holds the wheel | Confirm each step · Check key decisions · Run with it |
Pick the dials you care about, apply, and the settings persist in CLAUDE.md. Re-run
/calibrate anytime to adjust; clearing a dial returns that axis to Claude's default.
Install
From inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add dufis1/calibration-dials
/plugin install calibration-dials
Then run /calibrate in any project.
Two surfaces — works in both
- Claude Code desktop app → an interactive dial widget (click the notches).
- Terminal Claude Code → a native arrow-key picker (select notches with arrow / number keys — no typing).
The plugin detects the surface automatically and uses the right one. Either way the
settings persist identically to CLAUDE.md.
Custom dials — /calibrate-studio
The five built-in dials are not a closed list. /calibrate-studio lets you author your
own dials and harden them with the same evaluation loop used to validate the built-ins —
on a lifecycle of author → validate → promote. Custom dials show up in /calibrate
automatically, tagged custom (and unvalidated until a passing eval promotes them).
/calibrate-studio
Requirements
- Python 3.8+ (standard library only — no
pip install). The plugin invokespython3. /calibrate-studio's evaluation loop additionally uses theclaudeCLI under your existing subscription auth (no API key or per-token cost).
How it works
/calibrate writes only the delimited <!-- dial-settings --> block in your CLAUDE.md
(project root, or ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for global). The rest of the file is left untouched,
and the directives injected per notch are validated steering instructions, not just labels.
