## What it does

The skill manages automated evaluation workflows using YAML scenarios located in `.claude/evals/scenarios/`. It parses task prompts, runs setup commands, executes the assignment using a reflexion loop that consults past corrections, and verifies every success criterion. Execution outputs land in `.claude/evals/results/`, while cumulative records go to `.claude/evals/pass-history.json`.

Included commands support isolated execution across multiple tests via `git stash`, dataset filtering by optimization or holdout splits, and automated reporting. A specialized `mine` mode parses `.claude/state/change-log.jsonl` to detect friction patterns — like repeated edits to identical files or missing tests — proposing fresh YAML scenario templates for review.

This workflow expects the Mycelium framework environment: running it standalone skips canvas state handling, theory gates, and harness checks.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill eval-runner -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill eval-runner -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill eval-runner -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install haabe/mycelium eval-runner
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill eval-runner -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/haabe/mycelium --path plugins/mycelium/skills/eval-runner
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill eval-runner -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/haabe/mycelium/tree/HEAD/plugins/mycelium/skills/eval-runner/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- run agent benchmark scenarios defined in YAML configs
- generate summary pass-rate reports across scenario categories
- extract recurring failure patterns from session logs into new evals
- prune saturated, broken, or stale test cases based on history

## Example prompts
- Run the discovery/auth-flow scenario with eval-runner
- Generate an evaluation summary table using eval-runner report
- Mine recent audit logs for new eval proposals with eval-runner mine

# Eval Runner

Benchmark the agent's performance against defined scenarios. Adapted from n-trax eval system.

## Commands

### `run <category/name>`
1. Read YAML from `.claude/evals/scenarios/<category>/<name>.yml`
2. Parse fields (name, category, task_prompt, success_criteria, budget)
3. Execute setup steps if defined
4. Record start time
5. Execute task via reflexion workflow (read corrections first)
6. Record end time and iteration count
7. Validate ALL success criteria
8. Write result JSON to `.claude/evals/results/<timestamp>-<name>.json`
9. Report summary

### `run-all [category]`
1. Glob `.claude/evals/scenarios/**/*.yml`
2. Skip scenarios with `status: retired`
3. For each: run in isolation (git stash), record result, restore
4. Update `.claude/evals/pass-history.json` with each result
5. Aggregate and report

### `run-split <optimization|holdout>`
1. Glob `.claude/evals/scenarios/**/*.yml`
2. Read each YAML, filter by `split` field matching the requested set
3. Skip scenarios with `status: retired`
4. For each matching scenario: run in isolation, record result, restore
5. Update `.claude/evals/pass-history.json` with each result
6. Aggregate and report (label output clearly as "Optimization Set" or "Holdout Set")

### `report`
1. Read all results from `.claude/evals/results/`
2. Generate summary table:
```
| Category    | Pass Rate | Avg Iterations | Avg Time | Notes |
|-------------|-----------|----------------|----------|-------|
| discovery   | ...       | ...            | ...      |       |
| delivery    | ...       | ...            | ...      |       |
| integration | ...       | ...            | ...      |       |
| **Overall** | ...       | ...            | ...      |       |
```
3. List failure patterns and recommendations

### `prune`
1. Read `.claude/evals/pass-history.json`
2. Flag evals where `last_5` is all-pass (`saturated`) or all-fail (`broken`)
3. Flag evals with no runs in 30+ days (`stale`)
4. For saturated evals, suggest: retire or increase difficulty
5. For broken evals, suggest: fix criteria or retire
6. Present recommendations — do NOT auto-retire
7. On user confirmation: set `status: retired` in scenario YAML, update pass-history.json, log in .claude/harness/decision-log.md

### `mine`
Analyze audit logs to propose new eval scenarios from observed failure patterns.

1. Read `.claude/state/change-log.jsonl` (last 100 entries)
2. Read `.claude/state/diamond-state-audit.jsonl` (all entries)
