eval

eval is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst-plugin. It costs 108 tokens per session (2,319 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A live test suite for measuring an analyst against questions with trusted answers and queries. It keeps the correct answers hidden during testing, then scores accuracy, query similarity, cost, and speed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run training or test cases, compare the analyst's results with trusted values and SQL queries, and measure performance.
Why use it?
It shows whether changes to the analysis system improve real answers instead of relying on pre-filled or visible examples.

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 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 4d 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.

Skill: Eval (live gold-suite runner)

Purpose

Run the analyst on every question in a held-out gold suite, then score the answers against the blind gold: accuracy (the analyst's number vs the recomputed gold), query similarity (its SQL vs the trusted query), and cost/latency. This is the system-level eval: the number that tells you whether the context you are adding is paying off, and the number a model comparison turns on.

Two honest properties:

  • Blind by construction. The analyst runs see the question only, never the gold SQL or value. The gold is read only at grading, after the answers are locked.
  • Real, not staged. Each answer is produced by actually running the analyst now. Nothing is pre-filled.

The gold-case file

The suite is a YAML file you author and keep in your working folder (for example gold-cases.yaml). It never lives in shared context, because the analyst must not be able to see it. Each case is a question you already know the right answer to, paired with the query you trust and the value it returns:

cases:
  - id: rev-2025-q4               # short unique id
    question: "What was total net revenue in Q4 2025?"
    split: train                  # train (the set you iterate on) or test (held out)
    gold_sql: "select sum(net_revenue) from orders where order_date between '2025-10-01' and '2025-12-31'"
    gold_value: 4823910.55        # what gold_sql returns; a reference point, recomputed at grading
    # tolerance: 0.01             # optional relative tolerance; default 0.005 (0.5%)

The easiest way to start: take five queries your team already trusts (month-end numbers you have reported, dashboard tiles you have verified) and record each as a case with the exact SQL and the value it produces. Mark three or four of them train and keep at least one as test. Grading recomputes the gold by re-running gold_sql against the live connection at eval time, so the suite does not rot as new data arrives; the stored gold_value is a sanity reference.

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.

eval is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst-plugin (32 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 2,319 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
