eval-harness

eval-harness is a skill for Claude Code from matteotitta/genesys-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (2,084 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule-based checker for Markdown files. It uses written scoring rules to inspect sections, sentence and word counts, required patterns, prohibited wording, frontmatter, and citation tags without using an AI model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in local checks, pre-commit hooks, or continuous integration to validate proposals, positioning documents, messaging, landing-page copy, AEO articles, and other Markdown deliverables.
Why use it?
It catches predictable formatting and content mistakes quickly before human or AI review. It does not judge tone, brand fit, design, or the quality of a skill's 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

eval-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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/eval-harness — Deterministic structural gate for skill outputs

Stdlib Python that scores a markdown artifact against a declarative rubric.json. Runs in <100ms per artifact. No LLM calls — pure regex / section extraction / count checks.

The gate is complementary to LLM reviewers, not replacement. Structural rules are deterministic and cheap; voice / brand / taste judgment stays in voice-reviewer, design-reviewer, skill-reviewer.


When to use

  • Pre-commit hook on .claude/skills/ PRs — catch missing sections, malformed frontmatter, banned keywords before the LLM reviewer pass
  • CI gate on client deliverable PRs (proposals, positioning docs, messaging libraries, landing-page copy, AEO articles)
  • Local lint during authoring: python run.py --skill positioning
  • Sanity-check before voice-reviewer runs (saves expensive LLM passes on structurally broken drafts)

When NOT to use

  • For qualitative judgment (tone, voice, brand fit) — that's voice-reviewer
  • For visual / design output — that's design-reviewer
  • For skill-internal SKILL.md quality — that's skill-reviewer
  • For one-off outputs without a stable rubric — rubric authoring costs more than the gate saves below ~5 artifacts

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.
