Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.03213 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.01285 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00643 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00321 |
Grade A, and why
research-bigcode-evaluation-harness 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to evaluating-code-models — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

BigCode Evaluation Harness - Code Model Benchmarking
Quick Start
BigCode Evaluation Harness evaluates code generation models across 15+ benchmarks including HumanEval, MBPP, and MultiPL-E (18 languages).
Installation:
git clone https://github.com/bigcode-project/bigcode-evaluation-harness.git
cd bigcode-evaluation-harness
pip install -e .
accelerate config
Evaluate on HumanEval:
accelerate launch main.py \
--model bigcode/starcoder2-7b \
--tasks humaneval \
--max_length_generation 512 \
--temperature 0.2 \
--n_samples 20 \
--batch_size 10 \
--allow_code_execution \
--save_generations
View available tasks:
python -c "from bigcode_eval.tasks import ALL_TASKS; print(ALL_TASKS)"
Common Workflows
Workflow 1: Standard Code Benchmark Evaluation
Evaluate model on core code benchmarks (HumanEval, MBPP, HumanEval+).
Checklist:
Code Benchmark Evaluation:
- [ ] Step 1: Choose benchmark suite
- [ ] Step 2: Configure model and generation
- [ ] Step 3: Run evaluation with code execution
- [ ] Step 4: Analyze pass@k results
Step 1: Choose benchmark suite
Python code generation (most common):
- HumanEval: 164 handwritten problems, function completion
- HumanEval+: Same 164 problems with 80× more tests (stricter)
- MBPP: 500 crowd-sourced problems, entry-level difficulty
- MBPP+: 399 curated problems with 35× more tests
Multi-language (18 languages):
- MultiPL-E: HumanEval/MBPP translated to C++, Java, JavaScript, Go, Rust, etc.
Advanced:
- APPS: 10,000 problems (introductory/interview/competition)
- DS-1000: 1,000 data science problems across 7 libraries
Step 2: Configure model and generation
# Standard HuggingFace model
accelerate launch main.py \
--model bigcode/starcoder2-7b \
--tasks humaneval \
--max_length_generation 512 \
--temperature 0.2 \
--do_sample True \
--n_samples 200 \
--batch_size 50 \
--allow_code_execution
# Quantized model (4-bit)
accelerate launch main.py \
--model codellama/CodeLlama-34b-hf \
--tasks humaneval \
--load_in_4bit \
--max_length_generation 512 \
--allow_code_execution
# Custom/private model
accelerate launch main.py \
--model /path/to/my-code-model \
--tasks humaneval \
--trust_remote_code \
--use_auth_token \
--allow_code_execution
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.

research-bigcode-evaluation-harness is a skill published in the GitHub repository GrayCodeAI/starling (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,213 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to evaluating-code-models, differing in 9 lines, and is treated as a copy.
