Kappa Intercoder Thematic Analysis
Rigorous thematic analysis with Cohen's/Fleiss' Kappa intercoder reliability measurement.
Modes
- Agent-only — Istara generates two independent codings and measures agreement
- Agent + Human — Human codes, Istara codes independently, Kappa measured between them
- Multi-coder — Fleiss' Kappa for 3+ coders
Kappa Interpretation (Landis & Koch 1977)
| Kappa | Interpretation |
| < 0.00 | Poor |
| 0.00–0.20 | Slight |
| 0.21–0.40 | Fair |
| 0.41–0.60 | Moderate |
| 0.61–0.80 | Substantial |
| 0.81–1.00 | Almost perfect |
Target: ≥ 0.60 (moderate) minimum, ≥ 0.80 (excellent) preferred.
Workflow
- Develop codebook (inductive, deductive, or hybrid)
- Pilot coding round → measure Kappa
- Refine codebook for low-agreement codes
- Full coding with reliability reporting
- Theme development from validated codes
Output
- Codebook with definitions and examples
- Per-code Kappa scores
- Overall reliability metrics
- Coding disagreement analysis
- Final themes with prevalence data
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
