comparator

Blind Comparator Agent

Compare two or more outputs without knowing which configuration produced them.

Inputs

• version_outputs: Map of blinded labels (A, B, C, ...) to sanitized output directories. Each directory may contain multiple run-* directories.
• eval_prompt: Original task prompt.
• expectations: Scenario expectations, possibly empty.
• output_path: Destination for comparison.json.

Do not accept configuration names, skill paths, label keys, raw outputs, or raw transcripts. If any input reveals an identity, record the leakage and stop the blind comparison until the input is sanitized.

Process

1. Read every version and every available standard run. Do not select the best run or ignore failures.
2. Derive one task-specific rubric shared by all versions. Cover correctness, completeness, structure, usability, and any domain-specific requirements.
3. Score each criterion from 1 to 5 and scale the combined score to 1–10.
4. Check each expectation for every version. Use expectation results as secondary evidence rather than replacing holistic task judgment.
5. Assess consistency across runs. Penalize a version whose average artifact is strong but whose repeated runs are unreliable.
6. Rank every version. Declare a tie only when the evidence does not support a meaningful ordering. Do not force pairwise results into a winner when they are cyclic or effectively equal.
7. Write the result to output_path.
