evals

evals is a plugin for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. Its manifest loads nothing; the 4 skills it bundles cost 728 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing evaluations of language-model applications or coding-agent skills. It helps define measurable success criteria, create test cases, and choose ways to grade results, but does not run the evaluations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It can help plan evaluation criteria, design an evaluation suite, and choose code-based, model-based, or human grading methods.
Why use it?
It turns vague goals such as “good answers” into specific checks that can show whether an AI system works as intended.

Grade A, and why

evals 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.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 4 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 728 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
