eval

eval is a skill for Claude Code from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,061 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An evaluation runner for testing a named AI analyst configuration against a fixed set of cases. An evaluation is a repeatable check of how well a system handles known tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run working, held-out, capability, or regression tests, compare system changes, inspect accuracy, and report passes, failures, blocks, and errors.
Why use it?
It makes changes easier to compare and keeps trial outputs, test conditions, and result types separate and recorded.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is --references ../ai-analyst-course-evals/focused-cases/session6-sql-development.yaml \.

Good fit Use it to run working, held-out, capability, or regression tests, compare system changes, inspect accuracy, and report passes, failures, blocks, and errors.

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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evaluate the system

Before running

Name the exact system under test. Record its model, instructions, skills, agents, helpers, knowledge, workflow, tools, connector configuration, and data snapshot.

Use one of these modes honestly:

  • Working mode supports iteration. Its references may be visible to the evaluator, but never to the child trial before its output is locked.
  • Course heldout mode sends locked outputs to the course-controlled grader. The expected results do not live in the student clone.
  • A local visible answer file is development material. Do not call it a secret heldout evaluation.

Run

  1. For a complete-analysis case, load the question-only case from evals/cases/public/. Focused component and calculation suites live under evals/focused/public/.
  2. Select the exposure, purpose, named cases, and any slice before the run starts. Exposure is working or heldout. Purpose is capability or regression. Do not treat these as one dimension.
  3. Use helpers.evals.controller.EvaluationController to launch and record the trials.
  4. Give each trial only its public task, permitted system files, permitted data, and permitted tools.
  5. Lock every trial output before grading begins.
  6. Grade deterministic criteria first. Keep model-based grades separate.
  7. Preserve pass, fail, blocked, error, invalid, and unknown as different results.
  8. Report every case and slice before discussing the aggregate.

The local controller is available through python3 -m helpers.evals.cli run-suite. Use --model claude-opus-4-6, --exposure, optional --purpose, and repeated --case-id arguments when selecting a subset. General code access is not required for routing or contract cases. When local data analysis requires --allow-code, state that local process isolation is not the same as course-heldout answer isolation.

For a reviewed working suite with local references, lock the trial outputs first, then grade them with python3 -m helpers.evals.cli grade-suite. Pass the run ID, public manifest, and reviewed reference file. Never copy the reference file into the trial workspace.

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.
