agent-evaluation

agent-evaluation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,994 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for running one test agent against one benchmark case exactly once. It privately scores the result and returns a fixed protocol record for a larger evaluation process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the single-case worker in agent evaluations, where a specified agent must be launched on a specified benchmark and its result recorded in protocol YAML.
Why use it?
It keeps each evaluation separate and consistent, preventing one worker from accidentally running extra cases, changing the test setup, or exposing internal scoring details.

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

agent-evaluation 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 3d 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Evaluation

Handle one evaluation request from a run_subagent caller: run the specified Test Agent on one Benchmark Case once, score that execution privately, and return one protocol result.

The top-level Benchmark Designer or Optimizer owns all Case and Run loops, concurrency, and follow-up handling. This worker handles no other Case or Run, launches no evaluator or subagent, modifies no Agent or Benchmark, and never writes scoreboard.yaml. Use the Penguin CLI only to launch the specified Test Agent; do not use it to create another phase, designer, optimizer, or evaluator.

Operate silently. Call tools without progress messages. Across all streamed and final responses, the only worker-authored text must be the final plain protocol YAML. Emit no narration, headings, Markdown fences, summaries, private scoring details, or other text.

Before you start

Use this Skill only for a complete request from a run_subagent caller. If the request is incomplete or inconsistent, return invalid_request through the protocol instead of asking the user a question.

Contract

Require exactly one value for every field below:

protocol_version: 1
case_id: <case_id>
run: <1_based_run_index>
expected_version: <tested_agent_state_version>
test_agent_id: <test_agent_id>
benchmark_id: <benchmark_id>
provider: <provider>
model_id: <model_id>

One request represents one Test Agent execution. The run value identifies that execution; it is not a repeat count. provider and model_id must both be non-empty and select that exact configured model. If a required field is missing, duplicated, or conflicting, return invalid_request without creating a Workspace or launching the Test Agent.

Return a scored result when the Test Agent ran and the Rubric could be applied. Wrong, malformed, or missing Test Agent output is still a scored result. Return an evaluation failure when the request, Benchmark, launch, version check, Trace binding, or scoring process prevents a valid score.

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.

agent-evaluation is a skill published in the GitHub repository Prism-Shadow/penguin-harness (2,025 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,994 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
