**WORKFLOW SKILL** - Evaluate AI agent skills using structured benchmarks with YAML specs, fixture isolation, and pluggable validators. USE FOR: run waza, waza help, run eval, run benchmark, evaluate skill, test agent, generate eval suite, init eval, compare results, score agent, agent evaluation, skill testing, cross-model comparison. DO NOT USE FOR: improving skill frontmatter (use waza dev), creating new skills from scratch (use skill-creator), token counting or budget checks…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add microsoft/waza/waza@sha256:e7ef60562bbf3535The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.6116fe2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
