run-eval-harness

run-eval-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from urmzd/dotfiles. It costs 134 tokens per session (816 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for running a project's evaluation suite, meaning a collection of tests or benchmark cases used to measure an agent or system. It finds the documented harness, runs it, monitors completion, summarizes results, and compares them with the previous run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate and run evaluation tests, record the dataset and configuration, parse the report, and explain differences from the prior run.
Why use it?
It avoids guessing how to run evaluations or repeatedly checking whether a long run has finished. It also makes regressions easier to spot by reporting case-level changes alongside pass rates, timing, token use, and cost when available.

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

run-eval-harness 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 4d 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run Eval Harness

Own the whole run-monitor-parse-diff loop and return once with a complete summary. The user should never have to ask "check the current state".

1. Locate the harness

Search in order; stop at the first hit:

  1. Project docs: README, AGENTS.md, docs/ mentioning "eval".
  2. Task runners: justfile, Makefile, package.json scripts, pyproject scripts with eval targets.
  3. Convention paths: evals/, eval/, benchmarks/, files matching *eval*.py|ts|go.

If multiple harnesses exist, pick the one the user named; otherwise list them and pick the default documented in the repo. Note the dataset in use (golden set path) and where reports land (for example eval_report*, results/, run_log.jsonl).

2. Launch in the background

  • Run via the documented entry point with the repo's own defaults; do not invent flags.
  • Use a background shell so the session stays free; capture stdout to a log file in the scratchpad.
  • Record start time, git commit, model or provider config in effect.

3. Monitor without spamming

Poll the log at an interval matched to expected runtime (a 10 minute run gets checks every 2 to 3 minutes, not every 15 seconds). Detect and report early: crash, auth failure, rate limiting (429 or backoff messages), or a stall with no new output for 3 poll cycles. On transient provider errors, retry the run once before reporting failure.

4. Parse into the normalized summary

Extract whatever subset the report provides:

Metric Notes
Pass / total, pass rate Per strictness level if the harness has them
Latency P50 and P95 Report both; never substitute mean
Tokens in / out per case And totals
Cost per run and per case From real configured prices, never hardcoded guesses
Failures Case id, expected vs actual, one-line cause each

5. Diff against the previous run

Find the most recent prior report or run log. Report: metric deltas, newly failing cases, newly passing cases, and whether config changed between runs (model, dataset, prompt version, commit). If no prior run exists, say so and record this one as the baseline.

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.
