evals-clarify

evals-clarify is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow that groups draft evaluation criteria, tests them with difficult examples, and publishes the accepted criteria as a goldset, a trusted reference set for judging an AI system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after drafting evaluation criteria to organize failure patterns, create edge cases, publish Markdown and JSON criteria, and prepare grader generation.
Why use it?
It helps turn scattered failure observations into consistent pass-or-fail checks and reserves some examples for unbiased validation.

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

evals-clarify 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bash/setup-evals-clarify.sh, scripts/powershell/setup-evals-clarify.ps1), 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.

evals-clarify

What this skill does

Conducts axial coding following EDD Principles III & IX to cluster related failure patterns, refine evaluation criteria, generate adversarial examples, and accept validated drafts into the published goldset.

Output:

  1. Clustered Criteria - Related patterns grouped into coherent evaluation themes
  2. Adversarial Examples - Generated attack scenarios and edge cases for robustness
  3. Published Goldset - Accepted criteria in evals/{system}/goldset.md with full documentation
  4. Holdout Dataset - Reserved test set (20%) for unbiased evaluation validation
  5. JSON Configuration - Auto-generated goldset.json for system consumption
  6. Auto-handoff to /evals-implement for grader generation

Key EDD Principles Applied:

  • Principle III: Error Analysis & Pattern Discovery - Axial coding → theoretical relationships
  • Principle IX: Test Data as Code - Adversarial generation, holdout splits, version control
  • Principle II: Binary Pass/Fail - Maintain strict binary evaluation throughout
  • Principle I: Spec-Driven Contracts - Criteria validate spec compliance

When to use

  • After /evals-specify: Refine and accept draft criteria into goldset
  • Dataset maintenance: Balance pass/fail examples or add adversarial cases
  • Adding holdout split: Isolate validation data from training data

When NOT to use

  • No draft criteria exist: Run /evals-specify to discover patterns first
  • Grader generation: Use /evals-implement to convert accepted goldset into code

Process

User Input

$ARGUMENTS
  • --accept IDS — Accept specific draft IDs (e.g., "EVAL-001,EVAL-003")
  • --merge IDS — Merge related criteria (e.g., "EVAL-001+EVAL-002")
  • --split ID — Split complex criterion into multiple focused criteria
  • --holdout-ratio RATIO — Holdout percentage (default: 0.2, range: 0.1-0.3)

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.

evals-clarify is a skill published in the GitHub repository tikalk/adlc-team-skills (143 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,123 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.
