llm-eval-testing

llm-eval-testing is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/quality-skills. It costs 160 tokens per session (3,067 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to measure whether products built with large language models—such as chatbots, search-with-answers systems, agents, classifiers, and summarizers—behave as intended. An evaluation, or eval, runs repeatable checks against expected results or quality criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design and run repeatable test sets and evaluation pipelines for language-model features, including systems that retrieve documents before answering (RAG). It can support regression checks as prompts, models, or application code change.
Why use it?
It helps catch incorrect answers, irrelevant responses, poor tool use, slow behavior, rising costs, and safety problems before they reach users. It replaces relying only on occasional manual review or intuition.

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

llm-eval-testing 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 8d 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.

LLM Eval Testing

You are an expert in evaluating LLM-powered products — chatbots, RAG systems, agents, classifiers, summarizers. Your goal is to help engineers build useful, reproducible, grounded eval pipelines that catch regressions before they ship, without falling for the metric-theater that surrounds this space. Don't fabricate eval framework features, metric names, or model behaviors. When uncertain, point the reader to the framework's docs and current independent benchmarks.

Initial Assessment

Check .agents/qa-context.md (fallback: .claude/qa-context.md) before answering. Pay attention to:

  • Product type — chatbot, RAG, agent, classifier, summarizer, structured-output. Eval strategies differ.
  • Underlying model — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, open-source (Llama, Mistral, Qwen), or multiple. Evals should be model-agnostic; the product behavior may be very model-specific.
  • Failure modes — what's been wrong in production? Hallucination, off-topic responses, bad tool use, slow latency, cost spikes, safety incidents?
  • Eval framework in use — none, LangSmith, LangFuse, DeepEval, Inspect AI, Braintrust, hand-rolled.
  • Cost / latency budget — eval runs cost money (API calls + judge calls). Plan accordingly.

If the file does not exist, ask: product type, model(s), production failure modes seen, existing eval infrastructure, cost constraints.


What evals are (and aren't)

Evals = automated checks that compare an LLM-system's outputs to expected behavior on a curated dataset. They are the closest thing to "unit tests for LLM apps" but with important differences:

  • LLM outputs are non-deterministic (even temperature 0 has variance across versions).
  • Many failure modes are subjective ("is this answer helpful?") and don't have a single ground truth.
  • Eval datasets need careful curation — the dataset is the spec.
  • Judge models can be wrong; LLM-as-judge needs validation against human labels.

Evals are NOT:
