# Rubrics

> Your team's written standards for a correct answer, their versions, and who used them.

A rubric is named criteria, weights and a scale — written down, owned, and versioned. This screen is
where most people draft one before moving to the API for later edits.

## What you see

| Region         | What it shows                                                                         |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **List**       | Every rubric you can read: your own, plus public ones                                 |
| **Criteria**   | Each criterion's name, weight and description                                         |
| **Version**    | The current version number; every edit increments it                                  |
| **Visibility** | Private (you and administrators) or public (everyone reads, you still write)          |
| **Revisions**  | The full text of every past version                                                   |
| **Usage**      | Which runs cited which version, and whether as a training reward or a benchmark score |

## What you can do

* **Create** a rubric, with a sample criterion to start from.
* **Edit** one — which creates a new version rather than overwriting the old text.
* **Delete** one you own.

<Warning>
  Editing invalidates the judge's cached scores for this rubric, because the cache key carries its
  version. That is deliberate: sharpening a criterion should not leave old scores standing as though
  nothing changed.
</Warning>

## Where the rubric is actually used

One object, three places — which is the whole reason it is an object rather than a prompt pasted into
two configs:

| Used as             | Configured in                                                       |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A training reward   | An [environment verifier](/en/extend/verifiers) with `kind: rubric` |
| A benchmark         | A [benchmark pack](/en/extend/benchmark-packs) with `runner: judge` |
| A safety evaluation | A pack with `runner: safety`                                        |

Because it is one object, the standard a model trains against and the standard it is scored against
cannot quietly drift apart. See [writing a rubric](/en/extend/rubrics).
