evals-ops

evals-ops is a skill for Claude Code from 0xDarkMatter/claude-mods. It costs 154 tokens per session (4,308 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An evaluation toolkit for language models and AI agents. It helps define test cases, score answers and agent actions, check whether automated judges are fair, and run these checks in CI, the automated system that tests changes before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build golden datasets, score retrieval and agent steps or outcomes, verify questionable findings with adversarial tests, and block changes when evaluation results fall.
Why use it?
AI changes can appear better while quietly causing regressions. This provides repeatable evidence about quality instead of relying on a few examples or user reports.

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

evals-ops 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (assets/eval-runner.template.py, scripts/eval-baseline.py, scripts/goldenset-audit.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Evals Ops

Evals are the prerequisite, not the polish. You cannot tune a prompt, a retriever, a compaction strategy or a memory layer without a harness that says whether the change made things better. Teams that skip this ship vibes and learn about regressions from users.

This skill is the operational layer: what to measure, how to build the dataset, how to make a judge trustworthy, and how to gate CI on it without teaching everyone to ignore red.

Route first

The ask Go to
"What should I even measure?" Three levels → references/eval-taxonomy.md
"Where do the test cases come from?" Golden set → references/golden-datasets.md
"My judge disagrees with me / is it any good?" Judges → references/llm-judge.md
"Verify a finding is real, not plausible" Refuters → references/adversarial-verification.md
"Is my RAG retrieval any good?" Retrieval → references/retrieval-eval.md
"Where do the human labels come from?" references/annotation-workflow.md
"Should this block the merge?" Gating → references/regression-gating.md
"Did this change really make it worse?" Is the drop real
"Optimise against the eval / run it overnight" Hillclimbing → references/hillclimbing.md
"Which platform should we use?" references/tooling-landscape.md
"Just give me a starting file" Assets — golden set, rubric, runner, CI gate

The 60-second version

  1. Write 20 cases before you write a metric. A dataset you can eyeball beats a metric you cannot interpret. Grow to 100-300, then freeze it.
  2. Prefer a deterministic assertion to any judge. The JSON parsed, the tool was called with the right argument, the query returned 3 rows - free, instant, zero variance. Reach for a judge only where correctness is genuinely a matter of language.
  3. Score the trajectory, not just the answer. Most teams only check the final artifact and are surprised when a right answer came from a wrong path that breaks tomorrow.
  4. Calibrate the judge against humans before trusting it. Cohen kappa, not raw agreement. scripts/judge-calibration.py does the arithmetic and the verdict.
  5. Blocking gates must be deterministic. Judge metrics start advisory. One flaky red permanently devalues the signal.

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.
