Run Inference-Time Scaling
Execute scaling on a prompt. For algorithm guidance, budget tuning, and troubleshooting, consult the inference-scaling-guide skill.
Step 1: Check Environment
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/its_detect.sh"
If not ready
library=missing or config=missing: invoke the setup-guide skill.
If ready (library=installed, config=found)
Proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Execute Scaling
Run the scaling script with the user's prompt and any overrides:
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/its_scale.sh" --metadata $ARGUMENTS
If the user provides a file path (e.g., "scale all prompts in data/eval.jsonl"), invoke the batch-scaling skill instead.
Step 3: Present Results
- Selected response — Show the winning response prominently
- Metadata (if available):
- Self-consistency: show vote counts ("Selected by majority vote — 5/8 responses agreed")
- Best-of-N: show scores ("Selected as highest scoring — score: 0.92 out of 8 candidates")
- Configuration used — algorithm, budget, model (briefly)
If the scaling failed, consult the inference-scaling-guide skill for troubleshooting.
