model-evaluation

A skill that creates Python code to evaluate SageMaker models, including comparisons using an LLM as a judge or a custom scoring method. SageMaker is AWS’s managed service for deploying and testing machine-learning models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate, benchmark, compare, or review the performance of supported base and fine-tuned SageMaker models.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to measure model performance rather than judging results informally.

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

model-evaluation 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (code_templates/custom_scorer_evaluator.py, code_templates/llmaaj_evaluator.py, scripts/nova_reward_function_source_template.py, …), 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.

Model Evaluation

Generate code that evaluates a SageMaker model.

Prerequisites

  • The SDK environment has been verified (SDK version, region, execution role). If not done, activate the sdk-getting-started skill first.

Principles

  1. One thing at a time. Each response advances exactly one decision. Never combine multiple questions in a single turn.
  2. Confirm before proceeding. Wait for the user to agree before moving to the next step.
  3. Don't read files until you need them. Only read reference files when you've reached the step that requires them.
  4. Don't ask what you already know. If the answer is in conversation history, workflow_state.json, plan.md, or any file you've already read — use it. Confirm if unsure, but don't re-ask.
  5. No narration. Share outcomes and ask questions. Keep responses short.
  6. No repetition. If you said something before a tool call, don't repeat it after.

Scope

This skill supports the evaluation feature for SageMaker Serverless Model Customization. It can evaluate any base or fine-tuned model supported by SageMaker serverless model customization — both OSS models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, etc.) and Nova models.

Tell the user when the skill is activated:

"I can help evaluate any base or fine-tuned model supported by SageMaker serverless model customization."

If the user requests help evaluating a model that isn't supported by SageMaker serverless model customization, explain that it is not supported by this skill.

Evaluation Types

There are two evaluation types:

  • LLM-as-Judge — an LLM grades your model's responses. (OSS models only — not supported for Nova.)
  • Custom Scorer — programmatic evaluation via Lambda function (includes built-in math and code scorers). Works with both OSS and Nova models.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine evaluation type

Do you already know which evaluation type to use?

Check conversation history, plan.md, workflow_state.json, or anything else you've already read.

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.

model-evaluation is a skill published in the GitHub repository awslabs/agent-plugins (876 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,186 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
