agent-evaluation

A framework for testing and measuring the quality of AI agents, which are programs that make decisions and produce results rather than always returning one fixed answer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create evaluation rubrics, test agent pipelines, compare model outputs, run pairwise reviews, calibrate confidence, reduce judging bias, and monitor quality.
Why use it?
It helps teams find regressions, compare agent setups, and judge answers consistently despite variable outputs. It also addresses weaknesses in automated judging.

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 2d 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.

Evaluating LLM Agent Systems

Agent evaluation requires fundamentally different approaches than traditional software testing. Agents make dynamic decisions, are non-deterministic, and often lack single correct answers. Effective evaluation must account for these characteristics while providing actionable feedback.

Key insight: LLM-as-a-Judge is not a single technique but a family of approaches, each suited to different evaluation contexts. Choosing the right approach and mitigating known biases is the core competency this skill develops.

When to Activate

  • Testing agent performance systematically
  • Validating context engineering choices
  • Measuring improvements or catching regressions over time
  • Building quality gates for agent pipelines
  • Comparing different agent configurations or model outputs
  • Building automated evaluation pipelines for LLM outputs
  • Designing A/B tests for prompt or model changes
  • Debugging evaluation systems that show inconsistent results
  • Analyzing correlation between automated and human judgments

Decision Tree: Choosing an Evaluation Approach

What are you evaluating?
+-- Agent outputs against known correct answers?
|   +-- Yes --> Direct Scoring (factual accuracy, format compliance, instruction following)
|   +-- No --> Are you comparing two configurations?
|       +-- Yes --> Pairwise Comparison with position-swap protocol
|       |   Criteria: tone, style, persuasiveness, creativity
|       +-- No --> Do you have reference material?
|           +-- Yes --> Reference-based evaluation (summarization, translation)
|           +-- No --> Build rubrics first, then choose approach per dimension

Fundamentals

Why Agent Evaluation Is Different

Non-Determinism and Multiple Valid Paths: Agents may take different valid paths to reach goals. One agent searches three sources while another searches ten. Evaluate outcomes, not specific steps.

Context-Dependent Failures: Agent failures often depend on context in subtle ways. An agent might succeed on simple queries but fail on complex ones. Evaluation must cover a range of complexity levels.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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 viktorbezdek/skillstack (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 3,352 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
