SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to evaluating AI-driven development, ensuring reliability and preventing regressions in AI-assisted workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Eval-Driven Development (EDD): Implements principles where evaluations act as unit tests for AI development.
  • Metrics: Supports pass@k and pass^k metrics for measuring reliability.
  • Use Case: When developing a new AI feature, define capability and regression evals upfront to ensure the feature works as expected and doesn't break existing functionality.

Quick Start

Use the eval-harness skill to define a new capability evaluation for the 'add-authentication' feature.

FAQPage Schema
What is eval-driven development for AI workflows?

Eval-driven development (EDD) formalizes AI evaluation by treating evaluations as unit tests for AI development, ensuring reliability and preventing regressions in AI-assisted workflows.

How do I measure AI agent reliability using pass@k and pass^k metrics?

You can measure AI agent reliability by applying pass@k and pass^k metrics within a formal evaluation harness to benchmark performance and track regressions across prompt changes.

How do I set up regression testing for AI prompt changes?

Define capability and regression evaluations upfront using an eval harness to structured-test prompt changes, ensuring new AI features work as expected without breaking existing functionality.

Can I benchmark AI agent performance for capability evaluations?

Yes, you can benchmark AI agent performance by defining structured capability evaluations that measure reliability and detect regressions during AI-assisted development workflows.

When should I use a formal evaluation framework for AI development?

Use a formal evaluation framework when developing new AI features to define capability and regression evals upfront, ensuring the feature works as expected and preventing workflow regressions.
