quality-evals

quality-evals is a skill for Claude Code from arozumenko/sdlc-skills. It costs 109 tokens per session (934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for measuring how accurately AI agents create and judge manual software tests against a known answer. It builds a gold suite, meaning test cases with expected correct results, for repeated evaluation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to benchmark test-author and test-runner agents, compare configurations, and check whether a manual-QA setup remains accurate.
Why use it?
It replaces trust based on impressions with checks against your own application. It can reveal regressions after changing prompts, models, or agent instructions.

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

quality-evals 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 4 executable files (scripts/score-test-author-output.mjs, scripts/score-test-author-output.test.mjs, scripts/score-test-runner-output.mjs, …), 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

quality-evals

Two of this bundle's agents make judgment calls that are easy to trust and hard to verify: test-runner decides PASS/FAIL/BLOCKED on your live app, and test-author decides how a rough idea becomes a formatted TC-NNN.md. Trusting either without measurement is a leap of faith. This skill ports a rigorous, held-out-answer-key evaluation methodology — built and proven over months against several real apps — so any team can measure their own installation's accuracy against their own app, not just take someone else's word for it.

When to use

  • Before rolling the manual-qa bundle out to a wider team or a release-gating workflow, and you want a number, not a feeling.
  • After a test-author/RULES.md or test-runner/AGENT.md change (yours or upstream's), to confirm accuracy didn't regress.
  • When comparing model choices, prompt tweaks, or a fork of these agents against a stable baseline on your own suite.
  • When you want to build a small gold suite for your own app: a set of test cases with a known-correct answer, reusable for regression-testing the agents themselves going forward.

What it is NOT

Not a replacement for test-reporter's run reports, and not something that runs automatically as part of a normal test-run-lead session. This is a deliberate, opt-in benchmarking exercise you run when you want to measure the agents — same relationship the tokenomics skill (in the test-automation bundle) has to ordinary automation work: dormant until you invoke it.

Two tracks

Track Measures Agent under test Scored by
Detection Does test-runner correctly report PASS/FAIL against a known-correct answer, including catching a bug it was never told about test-runner scripts/score-test-runner-output.mjs (fully deterministic)
Authoring Does test-author turn a rough input into a structurally correct, semantically faithful test case test-author scripts/score-test-author-output.mjs (Tier A) + references/judge-rubric.md (Tier B)

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.

quality-evals is a skill published in the GitHub repository arozumenko/sdlc-skills (25 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 934 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-13.
