SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured framework for evaluating AI model performance, ensuring reliability and tracking regressions through formal evaluation processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Eval-Driven Development (EDD): Implement AI development practices where evaluations (tests) are defined before coding.
  • Capability Evals: Define and test new functionalities the AI should possess.
  • Regression Evals: Ensure existing functionalities remain intact after code changes.
  • Grading Mechanisms: Supports code-based, model-based, and human grading for comprehensive assessment.
  • Metrics: Tracks reliability using pass@k and pass^k metrics.
  • Use Case: A software team developing an AI coding assistant can use this Skill to define tests for new code generation features and ensure that existing code completion capabilities are not broken by updates.

Quick Start

Use the eval harness skill to define a new capability evaluation for user authentication.

FAQPage Schema
What is eval-driven development for AI models and when do I need it?

Eval-driven development is a practice where evaluations are defined before coding to ensure AI reliability. You need it when developing AI features and want to formally track performance and prevent regressions.

How do I prevent regressions in AI model code generation capabilities?

To prevent regressions in AI models, implement regression evaluations to ensure existing functionalities remain intact after code changes. This framework tracks performance using pass@k and pass^k metrics.

How can I set up capability evaluations for new AI functionalities?

You can set up capability evaluations by defining tests for new functionalities the AI should possess. This framework supports code-based, model-based, and human grading for comprehensive assessment.

What metrics are used to track AI model reliability during testing?

AI model reliability is tracked using pass@k and pass^k metrics. These metrics measure performance during capability and regression testing to ensure consistency and prevent regressions.

Can I use both automated and human grading for AI evaluation?

Yes, you can use code-based, model-based, and human grading for AI evaluation. This allows comprehensive assessment by combining automated checks with human oversight to ensure reliability.

Does this evaluation framework require external dependencies to run?

No, this evaluation framework does not require external dependencies to run. It provides a standalone structured framework for evaluating AI model performance and tracking regressions.
