eval-coach: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

eval-coach CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from BayramAnnakov/eval-coach. It costs 887 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions and templates for designing evaluations of AI systems. Evaluation-Driven Development means testing an AI system against defined examples and measures throughout development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define success measures, create normal and unusual test cases, choose automated, AI-judge, or human checks, connect evaluations to delivery workflows, and monitor results after release.
Why use it?
It helps prevent silent failures, such as an AI agent accepting contradictory information without flagging it, and gives teams a structured way to assess quality.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the TodoWrite tool.

This is BayramAnnakov/eval-coach's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on eval-coach itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything eval-coach configures →

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

eval-coach CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Eval Coach is an Agent Skill that guides users through building AI evaluation strategies using Evaluation-Driven Development (EDD). It follows the Agent Skills open standard (SKILL.md format).

This is primarily a documentation and template repository - it provides guidance, templates, and examples rather than a runnable application.

Key Concepts

5-Step Framework

  1. Define Success - Map business goals to measurable metrics
  2. Design Dataset - Create test cases (50% happy path, 35% edge cases, 15% adversarial)
  3. Select Methods - Choose Automated, LLM-as-Judge, or Human evaluation
  4. Plan Automation - Integrate evals into CI/CD
  5. Monitor Production - Track drift and collect feedback

50-40-10 Rule (Swiss Cheese Model)

  • 50% Automated - Schema validation, keyword checks, latency ($0.00/run)
  • 40% LLM-as-Judge - Semantic quality, relevance ($0.01-0.05/run)
  • 10% Human - Subjective quality, edge cases ($5-50/run)

Silent Failures

The most critical insight: agents can silently reconcile contradictory data instead of flagging mismatches. The input_data_consistency_evaluator was created specifically to catch this.

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.
