## What it does

co-dialectic runs in Claude Code and includes skills for refining prompts, selecting an expert persona, and assessing context health. Other included skills check risky claims and calibrate responses. The plugin displays a prompt score and lets you choose whether to use a suggested rewrite.

For judge-panel checks, connect another model: Gemini with `gemini auth login`, ChatGPT with `codex login`, or a local model with `ollama pull deepseek-r1:7b`. One connection is enough to add a model; the cascade requires two or more. Without a second model, that cross-model check cannot run.

In Claude Code, add the catalog with `/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community`, then install with `/plugin install co-dialectic@claude-community`. The license is AGPL-3.0.
