evalscope AGENTS.md

A repository instruction file for EvalScope, an evaluation framework for testing and comparing AI systems. It documents setup, supported Python versions, build checks, tests, and documentation generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on EvalScope code, running lint and tests, building documentation, or choosing optional development dependencies.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project-specific rules and commands needed to make safe, accepted changes.

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

evalscope AGENTS.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 yesterday.

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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

EvalScope — LLM evaluation framework with a registry-based plugin architecture. This file is the contract for AI coding agents working in this repo.

Setup

pip install -e .       # basic install
make dev               # dev + perf + docs extras + pre-commit

Python ≥ 3.10 (3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12). Dependencies: requirements/framework.txt + pyproject.toml [project.optional-dependencies] (extras: opencompass, vlmeval, rag, perf, app, aigc, sandbox, service, dev, docs, all, plus per-benchmark extras).

Build, lint, test

make lint                                                                       # apply Ruff fixes/formatting and run all pre-commit checks
pytest tests/cli/test_all.py::TestRun::test_ci_lite -v -s -p no:warnings        # CI smoke test
pytest tests/perf/test_perf_basic.py::TestPerfBasic::test_multi_parallel_sweep -v -s    # perf

Commits failing make lint are rejected on main.

Docs generation

Benchmark detail pages (docs/{zh,en}/benchmarks/<name>.md) and meta cache (evalscope/benchmarks/_meta/<name>.json) are auto-generated from each adapter's BenchmarkMeta.description + dataset statistics. Do not hand-edit those files.

Every BenchmarkMeta.description must be English Markdown with these sections in this order:

  1. ## Overview: benchmark purpose and scope.
  2. ## Task Description: bullet fields for Task Type, Input, Output, and Domain (use a more precise fourth field such as Modalities or Grading only when Domain does not apply).
  3. ## Key Features: dataset scale/source, evaluated capabilities, and version-specific behavior.
  4. ## Evaluation Notes: metrics, scoring procedure, runtime/dependency requirements, and compatibility limits.

Do not replace these required headings with benchmark-specific headings. Add extra sections only when the four required sections are insufficient.

When you add a benchmark or change its BenchmarkMeta.description, run:

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.
