harness:health

harness:health is a skill for Claude Code from raphaelchristi/harness-evolver. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,008 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dataset-quality check for an AI agent's evaluation examples, with automatic corrections for detected problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check dataset size, difficulty, coverage, dead examples, and data splits before running the optimization loop.
Why use it?
Poor test data can make evaluation results misleading or prevent useful optimization.

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

harness:health 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 2mo 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.

/harness:health

Check eval dataset quality and auto-correct issues. Can be run independently or is invoked by /harness:evolve before the iteration loop.

Prerequisites

.evolver.json must exist. If not, tell user to run /harness:setup.

Resolve Tool Path and Python

TOOLS="${EVOLVER_TOOLS:-$([ -d ".evolver/tools" ] && echo ".evolver/tools" || echo "$HOME/.evolver/tools")}"
EVOLVER_PY="${EVOLVER_PY:-$([ -f "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" ] && echo "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" || echo "python3")}"

1. Run Health Diagnostic

$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/dataset_health.py \
    --config .evolver.json \
    --production-seed production_seed.json \
    --output health_report.json 2>/dev/null

Print summary:

python3 -c "
import json, os
if os.path.exists('health_report.json'):
    r = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
    print(f'Dataset Health: {r[\"health_score\"]}/10 ({r[\"example_count\"]} examples)')
    for issue in r.get('issues', []):
        print(f'  [{issue[\"severity\"]}] {issue[\"message\"]}')
    if not r.get('issues'):
        print('  No issues found.')
"

2. Auto-Correct Issues

If health_report.json has corrections, apply them automatically:

CORRECTIONS=$(python3 -c "
import json, os
if os.path.exists('health_report.json'):
    r = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
    for c in r.get('corrections', []):
        print(c['action'])
" 2>/dev/null)

For each correction:

If create_splits: Assign 70/30 train/held_out splits:

$EVOLVER_PY -c "
from langsmith import Client
import json, random
client = Client()
config = json.load(open('.evolver.json'))
examples = list(client.list_examples(dataset_name=config['dataset']))
random.shuffle(examples)
sp = int(len(examples) * 0.7)
for ex in examples[:sp]:
    client.update_example(ex.id, split='train')
for ex in examples[sp:]:
    client.update_example(ex.id, split='held_out')
print(f'Assigned splits: {sp} train, {len(examples)-sp} held_out')
"

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.

harness:health is a skill published in the GitHub repository raphaelchristi/harness-evolver (57 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,008 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
