phoenix: Skill for Cursor

.agents/skills/phoenix-evals-new-metric/SKILL.md

phoenix-evals-new-metric is a skill for Cursor from Arize-ai/phoenix. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A procedure for adding a built-in classification evaluator to Phoenix. A classification evaluator is a check that assigns outputs to categories according to defined rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new evaluation, metric, LLM-as-a-judge check, or built-in classification evaluator.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent process for turning a new evaluation idea into a metric included in Phoenix.

Skill for Cursor

Written for Cursor: shipped in a Cursor plugin. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Arize-ai/phoenix's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on phoenix itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything phoenix configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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

phoenix-evals-new-metric 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 11d 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.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.
