output-eval-dataset-design

output-eval-dataset-design is a skill for Claude Code from growthxai/output. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,610 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for designing test datasets that vary important input conditions. An evaluation dataset is a collection of examples used to check how well a workflow performs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating YAML datasets for workflow tests when real examples are limited or existing tests miss edge cases. Choosing input variations based on known failure patterns.
Why use it?
A dataset made only from normal examples can miss failures at the edges. Varying several relevant dimensions exposes cases the workflow may handle poorly.

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

output-eval-dataset-design 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 10d 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.

Designing Eval Datasets

Overview

Diverse datasets catch more failures. This skill teaches dimension-based dataset design — systematically varying inputs along axes that target failure-prone regions of your workflow. The output is a set of YAML dataset files ready for output workflow test.

When to Use

  • Bootstrapping an eval dataset for a new workflow
  • Existing datasets only cover happy paths
  • Real production traces are sparse (fewer than 50)
  • Stress-testing specific failure hypotheses from error analysis

When NOT to Use

  • You already have 100+ representative real traces — use stratified sampling from those instead of generating synthetic data
  • You haven't done error analysis yet — do that first (output-eval-error-analysis) so your dimensions target real failure modes, not guesses

Step 1: Define Dimensions

Identify 3+ axes of input variation that target anticipated failure modes. Each dimension should vary one aspect of the input that you expect to influence output quality.

Deriving dimensions from error analysis

Map failure categories to input properties that trigger them:

Failure Category Triggering Input Property Dimension
Off-topic drift Ambiguous or broad topics Topic specificity: specific / broad / ambiguous
Tone mismatch Conflicting tone signals Tone difficulty: simple / nuanced / contradictory
Too short Short or vague input Input detail: minimal / moderate / comprehensive
Missing sections Many explicit requirements Requirement count: 0 / 1-2 / 5+
Hallucinated URLs Technical topics with real entities Entity density: none / few / many

Example dimensions for a blog generation workflow

Dimension Values Why
Topic complexity simple, technical, ambiguous Technical and ambiguous topics trigger more hallucination and drift
Tone request none, formal, casual, contradictory Explicit tone requests reveal tone-matching failures
Length constraint none, short (100w), long (1000w) Extreme length constraints trigger truncation and padding
Required sections none, 1 section, 3+ sections Multiple required sections stress structural compliance

output-eval-dataset-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository growthxai/output (435 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,610 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
