What it does

Bayesian Reasoning Calibration is an agent skill from lyndonkl/claude. Applies Bayesian reasoning to systematically update probability estimates with new evidence, helping make better forecasts and avoid overconfidence. Use when making predictions or judgments under uncertainty, forecasting outcomes, evaluating probabilities, testing hypotheses, calibrating confidence, assessing risks with uncertain data, or when user mentions priors, likelihoods, Bayes theorem, probability updates, forecasting, calibration, or belief revision.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `resources/evaluators/rubric_bayesian_reasoning_calibration.json`, `resources/examples/product-launch.md` and `resources/methodology.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Performance reviews and Forecasting and time series. The repository describes itself as: Agents, skills and anything else to use with claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Making predictions
  • Judgments under uncertainty
  • Forecasting outcomes
  • Evaluating probabilities

Example prompts

  • “Use the bayesian-reasoning-calibration skill to apply Bayesian reasoning to systematically update probability estimates with new evidence, helping…”
  • “/bayesian-reasoning-calibration”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4acc337. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bayesian Reasoning Calibration loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 506 words (~1,582 tokens).

“Core formula: P(H|E) = P(E|H) x P(H) / P(E), where P(H) = prior, P(E|H) = likelihood, P(H|E) = posterior.”
