evals-context

A guide to the structure of Roo Code's evaluation system, including its test infrastructure, management interface, public results page, and exercise repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing, debugging, or locating evaluation runs, exercises, databases, Docker setup, or evaluation web pages.
Why use it?
It prevents confusion between similarly named evaluation areas in the same monorepo, a repository containing multiple related projects.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-context 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to evals-context — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Evals Codebase Context

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the task involves:

  • Modifying or debugging the evals execution infrastructure
  • Adding new eval exercises or languages
  • Working with the evals web interface (apps/web-evals)
  • Modifying the public evals display page on roocode.com
  • Understanding where evals code lives in this monorepo

When NOT to Use This Skill

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • Working on unrelated parts of the codebase (extension, webview-ui, etc.)
  • The task is purely about the VS Code extension's core functionality
  • Working on the main website pages that don't involve evals

Key Disambiguation: Two "Evals" Locations

This monorepo has two distinct evals-related locations that can cause confusion:

Component Path Purpose
Evals Execution System packages/evals/ Core eval infrastructure: CLI, DB schema, Docker configs
Evals Management UI apps/web-evals/ Next.js app for creating/monitoring eval runs (localhost:3446)
Website Evals Page apps/web-roo-code/src/app/evals/ Public roocode.com page displaying eval results
External Exercises Repo Roo-Code-Evals Actual coding exercises (NOT in this monorepo)

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-context is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code (1,752 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 1,856 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to evals-context, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
