eval

eval is a skill for Claude Code from Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox. It costs 35 tokens per session (715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for measuring coding-session results, such as commits, test outcomes, duration, and other tracked indicators, then comparing them with earlier sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view current metrics, create or update baselines, compare recent sessions, and detect regressions.
Why use it?
It shows whether changes actually improved the work and helps spot declines over time.

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

eval 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.

Evaluation harness: $ARGUMENTS

Commands

Parse the first word of $ARGUMENTS to determine the command:

metrics — Show current session metrics

Collect and display metrics for the current session:

  1. Count commits: git log --oneline --since="today" | wc -l
  2. Count test results: check for recent vitest output or .eval/metrics/ entries
  3. Token usage: check LangSmith state file if available
  4. Pattern usage: check .dgm/fitness.json for patterns used this session
  5. Session duration: check session start time from logs

Display as:

## Current Session Metrics

| Metric | Value | Baseline | Delta |
|--------|-------|----------|-------|
| Commits | 5 | 3.2 avg | +56% |
| Tests passing | 42/42 | 40/42 | +2 |

| Files changed | 12 | 8.5 avg | +41% |
| Patterns used | 7 | 5.3 avg | +32% |

baseline — Set or update baselines

  1. Read the last N session metric snapshots from .eval/metrics/
  2. Calculate averages for each metric
  3. Write to .eval/baselines.json
  4. Report what changed

compare — Compare sessions

Usage: compare --last N or compare --session <id>

  1. Load metric snapshots from .eval/metrics/
  2. Compare against baselines
  3. Highlight regressions (metric dropped >10% below baseline)
  4. Highlight improvements (metric improved >10% above baseline)

report — Generate weekly evaluation report

  1. Load all metrics from the past 7 days
  2. Calculate trends (improving, stable, declining)
  3. Identify top improvements and top regressions
  4. Generate recommendations based on trends

capture — Capture current session metrics

Write a metric snapshot to .eval/metrics/session-{timestamp}.json:

{
  "session_id": "<session id>",
  "timestamp": "<ISO 8601>",
  "branch": "<git branch>",
  "metrics": {
    "commits": 0,
    "tests_total": 0,
    "tests_passing": 0,
    "files_changed": 0,
    "patterns_referenced": 0,
    "assumptions_verified": 0,
    "escalations": 0,
    "spiral_detections": 0
  },
  "qualitative": {
    "session_focus": "<what the session was about>",
    "memory_usefulness": 0,
    "knowledge_gaps_found": []
  }
}

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.

eval is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kastalien-Research/thoughtbox (65 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 715 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
