evaluate

evaluate is a skill for Claude Code from superduke/ganvil. It costs 47 tokens per session (609 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality-assessment tool for an existing software project that identifies whether it is frontend, backend, or fullstack and applies the matching review process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the project, inspect frontend behavior, run backend tests and API checks, and produce scored evaluation reports for the relevant project areas.
Why use it?
It provides a structured check of an existing project without requiring an earlier plan or build, helping reveal problems in the interface, server, or both.

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

evaluate 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.

Ganvil Evaluate — Standalone QA Evaluation

Evaluate an existing project or codebase using the ganvil evaluation framework, without requiring a prior plan or build.

What to Do

  1. Determine the project type:

    • If $ARGUMENTS starts with "frontend" or "backend", use that classification
    • Otherwise, examine the project structure to auto-detect:
      • Has package.json with frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) → FRONTEND
      • Has backend files (Python, Go, Rust, Java server code, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, etc.) → BACKEND
      • Has both → evaluate as FULLSTACK (backend first, then frontend)
  2. Create ganvil-artifacts/ directory if it doesn't exist.

  3. For frontend evaluation: Delegate to the frontend-evaluator agent.

    • The evaluator will start the application, interact via browser, and score on:
      • Design Quality (≥7 to pass)
      • Originality (≥7 to pass)
      • Craft (≥6 to pass)
      • Functionality (≥7 to pass)
    • Output: ganvil-artifacts/frontend-evaluation.md
  4. For backend evaluation: Delegate to the backend-evaluator agent.

    • The evaluator will start the server, run tests, hit API endpoints, and score on:
      • API Correctness (≥7 to pass)
      • Data Integrity (≥7 to pass)
      • Code Quality (≥6 to pass)
      • Functional Completeness (≥7 to pass)
    • Output: ganvil-artifacts/backend-evaluation.md
  5. For fullstack evaluation: Run both evaluators, backend first.

  6. Summarize the evaluation results, highlighting:

    • Overall pass/fail per dimension
    • Critical bugs found
    • Top recommendations for improvement

Usage

# Auto-detect project type and evaluate
/ganvil:evaluate

# Evaluate only the frontend
/ganvil:evaluate frontend

# Evaluate with focus
/ganvil:evaluate frontend focus on mobile responsiveness and accessibility

# Evaluate backend
/ganvil:evaluate backend focus on API error handling

Note

This skill evaluates code as-is. It does not require a ganvil-artifacts/spec.md or sprint contracts — the evaluator will assess the project against general quality standards. However, if a spec exists from a prior /ganvil:plan, the evaluator will use it for more targeted evaluation.

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.
