## What it does

This plugin teaches your coding agent how to build reliable `promptfoo` eval suites. It prioritizes deterministic assertions, file-based test structures, and accurate environment variable syntax. Included reference materials cover 30+ assertion types alongside configuration patterns for OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, HTTP endpoints, Python, and JavaScript.

Your agent learns to set up faithfulness checks, validate JSON schemas, and scale evaluations using external datasets. The tests run locally on your machine. Running evaluations against hosted models will fail unless you export the required provider credentials, such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install promptfoo-evals@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- generate promptfoo evaluation suites with deterministic checks
- configure faithfulness and hallucination tests for LLM outputs
- set up JSON schema validation across multiple model providers
- prepare CI-ready test suites using dataset files

## Example prompts
- Generate a promptfoo test configuration to validate JSON responses against our schema
- Add hallucination checks to my promptfoo eval for Anthropic and OpenAI models
- Configure a dataset-driven promptfoo test suite ready for CI runs

> Promptfoo is now part of OpenAI. Promptfoo remains open source and MIT licensed. Read the [company update](https://www.promptfoo.dev/blog/promptfoo-joining-openai/).

## Quick Start

```sh
npm install -g promptfoo
promptfoo init --example getting-started
```

Also available via `brew install promptfoo` and `pip install promptfoo`. Or use `npx promptfoo@latest` to run any command without installing.

Most LLM providers require an API key. Set yours as an environment variable:

```sh
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-abc123
```

Run an eval and view results:

```sh
cd getting-started
promptfoo eval
promptfoo view
```

## What can you do with Promptfoo?

- **Test your prompts and models** with [automated evaluations](https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/getting-started/)
- **Secure your LLM apps** with [red teaming](https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/red-team/) and vulnerability scanning
- **Compare models** side-by-side (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, Bedrock, Ollama, and [more](https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/providers/))
- **Automate checks** in [CI/CD](https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/integrations/ci-cd/)
- **Review pull requests** for LLM-related security and compliance issues with [code scanning](https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/code-scanning/)
- **Share results** with your team

Here's what it looks like in action:
