Guide a human through checking one evaluator against criterion-specific Kitaru investigation verdicts, inspecting disagreements, improving on development cases, and assessing a frozen configuration on held-out cases. Use when a user asks whether an evaluator agrees with their judgment, wants to validate an existing judge, or continues from evaluator authoring. Supports TypeSafe and other evaluators without deploying a gate or changing the review UI.

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

# Validate one evaluator

Help the user decide what the evidence supports for their intended use. Teach through one concrete comparison at a time. The human defines acceptable behavior; the agent organizes evidence and measures agreement.

## Read the relevant reference

- Read [method.md](references/method.md) before defining labels, choosing splits, tuning, or interpreting a result.
- Read [kitaru-contracts.md](references/kitaru-contracts.md) before discovering operations, opening review, exporting records, running evaluations, or resuming jobs. It defines identity, provider semantics, and the local reporting contract.
- Read [visual-guidance.md](references/visual-guidance.md) when presenting a criterion, disagreement, split, or result. Ordinary prose and tables are a complete fallback.

Use [scripts/summarize_validation.py](scripts/summarize_validation.py) for count reports, following the input contract in `kitaru-contracts.md`. The helper reads local analysis records; it does not obtain labels, contact Kitaru, or run the evaluator.

## Start from the user's current evidence

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add zenml-io/kitaru-skills/kitaru-validate-evaluator@sha256:6fb78c449ec192fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.499e730, 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.
