evaluating-llms-harness SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

evaluating-llms-harness from yichen-zju/claude-for-research is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/evaluating-llms-harness@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Evaluates LLMs across 60+ academic benchmarks (MMLU, HumanEval, GSM8K, TruthfulQA, HellaSwag). Use when benchmarking model quality, comparing models, reporting academic results, or tracking training progress. Industry standard used by EleutherAI, HuggingFace, and major labs. Supports HuggingFace, vLLM, APIs.

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.

What the file says

# lm-evaluation-harness - LLM Benchmarking

## Quick start

lm-evaluation-harness evaluates LLMs across 60+ academic benchmarks using standardized prompts and metrics.

**Installation**:
```bash
pip install lm-eval
```

**Evaluate any HuggingFace model**:
```bash
lm_eval --model hf \
  --model_args pretrained=meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf \
  --tasks mmlu,gsm8k,hellaswag \
  --device cuda:0 \
  --batch_size 8
```

**View available tasks**:
```bash
lm_eval --tasks list
```

## Common workflows

### Workflow 1: Standard benchmark evaluation

Evaluate model on core benchmarks (MMLU, GSM8K, HumanEval).

Copy this checklist:

```
Benchmark Evaluation:
- [ ] Step 1: Choose benchmark suite
- [ ] Step 2: Configure model
- [ ] Step 3: Run evaluation
- [ ] Step 4: Analyze results
```

**Step 1: Choose benchmark suite**

**Core reasoning benchmarks**:
- **MMLU** (Massive Multitask Language Understanding) - 57 subjects, multiple choice
- **GSM8K** - Grade school math word problems
- **HellaSwag** - Common sense reasoning
- **TruthfulQA** - Truthfulness and factuality
- **ARC** (AI2 Reasoning Challenge) - Science questions

**Code benchmarks**:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/evaluating-llms-harness@sha256:891b77bc09118393

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
