description	Create scoring rubrics with domain-adaptive structure, extreme anchoring, and governed storage. ADR-008 Generator level for rubric creation.

/aget-create-rubric

Create scoring rubrics with domain-adaptive structure, extreme anchoring, and governed storage. Wraps SOP_RUBRIC_CREATION.md and RUBRIC.template.md into a Generator-level skill.

Purpose

Six agents actively produce rubrics with four incompatible storage conventions and no shared construction methodology (L731). The SOP and template are mature (v1.0, active since 2026-02-13) but require manual discovery and application. This skill is the ADR-008 Generator level for rubric creation, progressing from the current Strict level (SOP + template).

Evidence: L731 (Fleet Rubric Adoption Snapshot), L730 (Domain-Fit Gap), L729 (Assessment Tool Recursion), L518 (Conformance Assessment Pattern). SOP + template mature 4+ months. 6 agents producing rubrics without tooling.

Input

$ARGUMENTS - Description of what the rubric will evaluate

Examples:

• /aget-create-rubric skill proposal readiness — Rubric for evaluating skill proposals
• /aget-create-rubric CI/CD investment priority — Rubric for CI/CD decisions
• /aget-create-rubric session process quality — Rubric for session quality assessment
• create a rubric for release readiness — Natural language trigger

Execution

Step 1: Domain Identification

Prompt for or derive from $ARGUMENTS:

1. Evaluation target: What will be scored? (artifact, process, decision, behavior)
2. Decision this supports: What action does scoring inform? (approve/reject, prioritize, improve)
3. Assessor: Who scores? (human, agent, hybrid) — per SOP Phase 1 Step 1 prerequisite (L730)

If assessor is not provided, this is a blocking prerequisite — ask before proceeding.

Step 2: Domain Classification

Classify the rubric domain to determine label set:

Domain Type	L0	L1	L2	L3
Conformance	Non-Conformant	Baseline	Compliant	Exemplary
Creative Quality	Unrecognizable	Emerging	Achieved	Transcendent
Maturity	Initial	Developing	Defined	Optimizing
Process Quality	Ad-hoc	Repeatable	Measured	Optimizing

Present classification and label set for confirmation before proceeding.

Step 3: Dimension Scaffolding

Propose 3-7 dimensions with definitions. For each dimension, ask:

• "Is this pass/fail or graduated?" (constraint vs dimension — L730)
• If pass/fail: move to Constraints section (binary eligibility gates)
• If graduated: keep as scored dimension

Step 4: Extreme Anchoring (Mertler 2001)

For each dimension, write level descriptions in this order:

1. L3 first (best case) — What does exemplary look like?
2. L0 second (worst case) — What does failure look like?
3. L1 and L2 (interpolate) — Fill the middle from the extremes

This is the Mertler construction method. Writing extremes first prevents anchor collapse.

Step 5: Anti-Pattern Check

Verify the rubric does NOT contain:

Anti-Pattern	Source	Detection
Score multipliers	L018	Warn if weights sum >100% or any weight >40%
Constraints as dimensions	L730	Any dimension with only 2 meaningful levels = should be a constraint
Missing assessor identity	L730	Blocking prerequisite — must be set in Step 1
Achievement framing	Goodhart	Descriptions should say what behavior looks like, not what it achieves

Step 6: Fleet Lesson Surfacing

Display relevant rubric design lessons:

• L018: No score multipliers
• L183: Scoring is a tool role
• L679: Rubrics = personalization mechanism
• L705: Cross-agent traceability

Step 7: Quality Checklist (SOP Phase 3)

Run the SOP_RUBRIC_CREATION.md Phase 3 quality checklist automatically:

• All dimensions have L0-L3 descriptions
• Labels match domain type
• Constraints are separated from dimensions
• Scoring procedure is documented
• Assessor is identified

Step 8: Write Rubric

Write to rubrics/RUBRIC_{name}_v1.0.md using the RUBRIC.template.md structure.

Step 9: Update Index

If rubrics/README.md exists, append entry to the rubric table.

Step 10: Report

=== Rubric Created ===
File: rubrics/RUBRIC_{name}_v1.0.md
Domain: {domain_type}
Dimensions: {count}
Constraints: {count}
Assessor: {assessor}
Labels: {L0} / {L1} / {L2} / {L3}

Requirements

ID	Requirement	Source
REQ-RUB-001	Create-rubric SHALL identify assessor before scaffolding dimensions	SOP Phase 1 Step 1, L730
REQ-RUB-002	Create-rubric SHALL classify domain and apply domain-adaptive labels	L730
REQ-RUB-003	Create-rubric SHALL use extreme anchoring (L3 then L0 then interpolate)	Mertler 2001, SOP Phase 2
REQ-RUB-004	Create-rubric SHALL separate binary constraints from scored dimensions	L730, CMMI/CLEAR pattern
REQ-RUB-005	Create-rubric SHALL run quality checklist before writing	SOP Phase 3
REQ-RUB-006	Create-rubric SHALL store output in rubrics/ directory	C092 convention
REQ-RUB-007	Create-rubric SHALL NOT use score multipliers or weights >40%	L018

Constraints

• C1: MUST identify assessor before proceeding past Step 1 — this is a blocking prerequisite
• C2: MUST separate pass/fail constraints from graduated dimensions — mixing them inflates or deflates scores
• C3: MUST write L3 and L0 before L1 and L2 — prevents anchor collapse (Mertler 2001)
• C4: MUST write to rubrics/ directory — no other storage location is governed
