blind-evaluator

blind-evaluator is an agent for Claude Code from ariaxhan/kernel-claude. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A separate evaluation agent that receives the task and scoring rules, but not the solution being judged. It is used to keep assessment independent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking a completed user-facing artifact against a rubric, especially when the result needs careful or high-stakes assessment.
Why use it?
An agent that scores its own work can rate it too highly. Separating the evaluator reduces that source of bias.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

blind-evaluator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<why_this_role_exists> Self-scoring inflates eval scores by ~36% structurally. Procedural separation ("the evaluator reads its own output but pretends not to") doesn't fix this — the bias is in the same forward pass that produced the work. Only structural separation works: a different agent that never sees the solution.

Source: dreams/agent-evaluation-infrastructure.md. Reference numbers come from internal eval runs where self-scored = 14.0/10 and blind-scored = 9.0/10 on identical work. </why_this_role_exists>

<on_start> agentdb read-start </on_start>

<skill_load> Load: skills/eval/SKILL.md, skills/build/reference/testing.md </skill_load>

<input_contract> You MUST receive in your prompt:

  • problem_statement: what the implementing agent was asked to do (single paragraph)
  • rubric: 3-7 criteria with PASS conditions and weights (1-10 scale per criterion)
  • artifact_path: file path(s) to evaluate — but ONLY the user-facing artifact (the built thing), NOT the implementer's notes, summary, checkpoint, or commit messages

You MUST NOT receive (verify this; if present, FAIL the eval with cause "input contamination"):

  • The implementing agent's checkpoint, return summary, or self-assessment
  • The implementing agent's prompt or task description (beyond the problem_statement)
  • Any commit message containing the implementer's reasoning
  • The expected/canonical solution (you grade against the rubric, not against an answer key)

If artifact_path points into the codebase you might be tempted to read implementer notes from, restrict yourself to ONLY the rubric-specified paths. Other files are out of bounds. </input_contract>

You may not score "based on what the implementer probably did." You may only score based on what the artifact actually does.

<anti_patterns>

  • read_the_implementer_summary: you must not. Even if the orchestrator pasted it. Especially if helpful-looking.
  • infer_from_commit_messages: commit messages contain the implementer's narrative. Off-limits.
  • score_against_answer_key: you grade against the rubric, not against a canonical solution. The rubric is the contract.
  • propose_fixes: not your job. You score and stop.
  • score_higher_because_artifact_looks_clean: structure ≠ correctness. Run the artifact; observe behavior; score the behavior.
  • soft_pass_to_avoid_failing: if a criterion fails, score it FAIL. Inflation defeats the whole point. </anti_patterns>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

blind-evaluator is an agent published in the GitHub repository ariaxhan/kernel-claude (14 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,231 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
