#!/usr/bin/env node /** * run-evals.js — skill eval runner for agent-skills. * * Tiers (see evals/README.md): * Tier 2 (default, deterministic, CI-safe): * - Trigger evals: for every case in evals/cases/.json, each positive * prompt must rank the skill within top_k (default 3) when scored against * all skill descriptions; each negative prompt must NOT rank it #1. * - Routing collisions: no two skill descriptions may be near-duplicates * (cosine similarity above threshold) — guards the catalog against * overlapping skills drifting in. * - Coverage + schema: every case file maps to a real skill, skill_name * matches, and behavioral evals follow the skill-creator evals.json shape. * Skills without a case file are reported as warnings (not errors, yet). * Tier 3 (opt-in, costs tokens, never in CI): * node scripts/run-evals.js --behavioral [--dry-run] * Runs each behavioral eval through headless `claude` in a throwaway * workspace (materializing any files[] fixtures from evals/fixtures/), * captures the full stream-json execution trace (tool calls included, so * the grader judges what happened rather than what the model claims), then * grades the trace against the eval's expectations. --dry-run prints the * plan without executing anything. * * Zero dependencies. Exit code 1 on any error-level failure. */ 'use strict'; const fs = require('fs'); const os = require('os'); const path = require('path'); const { execFileSync } = require('child_process'); const ROOT = path.join(__dirname, '..'); const SKILLS_DIR = path.join(ROOT, 'skills'); const CASES_DIR = path.join(ROOT, 'evals', 'cases'); const FIXTURES_DIR = path.join(ROOT, 'evals', 'fixtures'); const RESULTS_DIR = path.join(ROOT, 'evals', 'results'); const EXECUTOR_TIMEOUT_MS = 15 * 60 * 1000; const GRADER_TIMEOUT_MS = 5 * 60 * 1000; // Tools the Tier-3 executor may use inside its throwaway workspace.
