## What it does

The skill checks the task tree and `.github/workflows/` first. If a coder-eval workflow already exists, it offers to update that workflow instead of adding another. It stops when the repository has no `.github/` directory.

It then builds a workflow around `UiPath/coder_eval@v0` and uses paths discovered in the repository. You choose a pull request trigger, a schedule, or both. The composite action installs coder-eval only; a job using the default `claude-code` agent needs Node and the Claude CLI set up beforehand, or the run fails.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add UiPath/coder_eval --skill ci -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/ci/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ci/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add UiPath/coder_eval --skill ci -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/ci/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add UiPath/coder_eval --skill ci -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/ci/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install UiPath/coder_eval ci
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ci/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add UiPath/coder_eval --skill ci -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/UiPath/coder_eval --path plugins/coder-eval/skills/ci
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/ci/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add UiPath/coder_eval --skill ci -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/UiPath/coder_eval/tree/HEAD/plugins/coder-eval/skills/ci/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- add coder-eval runs to GitHub Actions
- choose pull request or scheduled workflow triggers
- use task paths found in the repository
- pass experiment settings and test environment variables
- avoid creating a duplicate coder-eval workflow

## Example prompts
- Set up a GitHub Actions workflow to run coder-eval on pull requests.
- Create a scheduled workflow for the skill tests in this repository.
- Check the existing workflows and add a scheduled coder-eval run if needed.

# Wire coder-eval into GitHub Actions

The user's request is: `$ARGUMENTS`

## Step 1 — Check the repository

Find the repository's task tree by following
`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/repo-layout.md`, and check whether `.github/workflows/`
exists. The paths you resolve here become `args:` entries in the workflow in step 3 — that
input is written from discovery, never from a fixed guess.

If there is no `.github/` directory at all, say that this skill targets GitHub Actions
and stop — do not invent an equivalent for another CI system unless the user asks.

If a workflow already runs coder-eval (grep the workflows for `coder_eval`), do not add a
second one. Show what is there and offer to update it.

## Step 2 — Choose the trigger

Ask, or infer from the request:

- **On pull request** — gate changes to the tasks or to whatever they exercise.
- **On a schedule** — the skill-drift case: re-run the suite weekly against the current
  model so a skill that quietly stops triggering surfaces before users hit it. This is
  the trigger most repositories actually want, and the one they forget. If the suite is
  an activation suite, the environment note in step 3 is **not optional** for this
  trigger — without it the scheduled run reports total drift every week regardless of
  whether anything drifted.
- **Both**, which is fine — one workflow, two `on:` keys.

## Step 3 — Emit the workflow

The composite action installs the `coder-eval` CLI and nothing else: it is
agent-agnostic and installs **no coding-agent runtime**. A task using the default
`claude-code` agent therefore needs Node plus the Claude CLI provided by the job first,
or the run dies on a missing `claude` binary. There is no Marketplace install step for
the action itself, but those two prerequisite steps are not optional.

```yaml
name: Coder Eval

on:
  pull_request:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 6 * * 1"   # Mondays 06:00 UTC — catches model/skill drift

# Least privilege: this job runs agent-generated code, so it gets no write scope.
permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  eval:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 30
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
        with:
          # Do not leave a credentialed .git/config in a workspace where
          # agent-generated code runs.
          persist-credentials: false

      # The action installs no coding-agent runtime — provide it here.
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: "20"
      - run: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

      - id: eval
        uses: UiPath/coder_eval@v0
        with:
          run-dir: runs/ci
          args: |
            tasks/**/*.yaml
            --model
            claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
          env: |
            ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}

      - if: always()
        run: cat "${{ steps.eval.outputs.run-md-path }}" >> "$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY"
```

Adjust the model and the cron to the repository. Pin the action at `@v0`, the moving major
tag. Then work through the four things the snippet cannot guess.
