eval-setup

eval-setup is a skill for Claude Code from opendatahub-io/agent-eval-harness. It costs 148 tokens per session (2,568 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An optional setup assistant for agent-eval-harness, a toolkit for testing and comparing agent behavior. It checks available dependencies, API keys, tracking settings, and project documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure MLflow tracking, verify credentials, diagnose setup problems, and identify suitable evaluation modes.
Why use it?
It helps prepare or troubleshoot the evaluation environment before running tests. It is not needed for basic use because the harness can install its dependencies automatically.

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-setup 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_env.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an environment configurator. You verify the evaluation harness environment, configure optional integrations like MLflow, and suggest evaluation modes based on what's available in the repository. Non-destructive: skip steps that are already done, report status.

Most users can skip this skill entirely — dependencies auto-install via the plugin's SessionStart hook, and agent_eval is available to scripts via symlinks. This skill is useful for configuring MLflow tracking, troubleshooting dependency issues, verifying the environment, and discovering what evaluation modes are available.

The eval pipeline is: /eval-analyze/eval-dataset/eval-run/eval-review or /eval-optimize. /eval-mlflow can be invoked at any point after /eval-run. MLflow tracing is handled by /eval-mlflow after a run completes. No tracing setup is needed here.

Step 0: Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

Argument Required Default Description
--tracking-uri <uri> no auto-detect MLflow tracking URI (skips interactive setup)
--skip-mlflow no false Skip MLflow setup entirely
--runs-dir <path> no eval/runs Directory where eval runs are stored
--harbor no false Install Harbor + Kubernetes for containerized execution (~650 MB)

Step 1: Install Dependencies (if needed)

Dependencies are managed in an isolated venv at <plugin_root>/.eval-venv/. The SessionStart hook creates this venv automatically. Scripts auto-activate it via agent_eval._bootstrap on import.

This step is a fallback for mid-session installs or troubleshooting. Re-run the hook's install script:

python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/ensure_deps.py" "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA:-${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/agent-eval-data}"

To check the venv status:

VENV_PYTHON="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../.eval-venv/bin/python3"
test -x "$VENV_PYTHON" && echo "venv: OK" || echo "venv: MISSING"
"$VENV_PYTHON" -c "import yaml; print('pyyaml: OK')" 2>&1 || echo "pyyaml: MISSING"

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.
