Run isolated eval and grading calls using CC 2.1.81 --bare mode. Constructs claude -p --bare invocations for skill evaluation, trigger testing, and LLM grading without plugin/hook interference. Use when running eval pipelines, grading skill outputs, benchmarking prompt quality, or testing trigger accuracy in isolation.

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

# Bare Eval — Isolated Evaluation Calls

Run `claude -p --bare` for fast, clean eval/grading without plugin overhead.

**CC 2.1.81 required.** The `--bare` flag skips hooks, LSP, plugin sync, and skill directory walks.

## When to Use

- Grading skill outputs against assertions
- Trigger classification (which skill matches a prompt)
- Description optimization iterations
- Any scripted `-p` call that doesn't need plugins

## When NOT to Use

- Testing skill routing (needs `--plugin-dir`)
- Testing agent orchestration (needs full plugin context)
- Interactive sessions

## Prerequisites

```bash
# --bare requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (OAuth/keychain disabled)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

# Verify CC version
claude --version  # Must be >= 2.1.81
```

## Quick Reference

| Call Type | Command Pattern |
|-----------|----------------|
| Grading | `claude -p "$prompt" --bare --max-turns 1 --output-format text` |
| Trigger | `claude -p "$prompt" --bare --json-schema "$schema" --output-format json` |
| Streaming grade | `claude -p "$prompt" --bare --max-turns 1 --output-format stream-json` |
| Optimize | `echo "$prompt" \| claude -p --bare --max-turns 1 --output-format text` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/bare-eval@sha256:89681a7aae505e78

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
