Measure how well a generated knowledge skill answers questions about its source - grounded questions drafted from the original source, answered using only the skill, graded expectation by expectation, with a score, the facts the skill is missing, and an optional fix. Writes evals/evals.json in the skill-creator format. Use when the user runs /skill-eval, or asks "is this skill any good", "test / evaluate / benchmark my skill", "what did the skill miss", or wants to check a skill made by…

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

# skill-eval

Check a skill against the source it was made from. The question is not
"does the skill read well" but "can an agent holding only this skill
answer what the source answers, and cite it correctly".

Usage: `/skill-eval <skill-dir>` (a path, or a skill name found under
`~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.agents/skills/`, `~/.copilot/skills/` or the
project's `.claude/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, `.github/skills/`).

## Step 1 — Get the questions

If `<skill-dir>/evals/evals.json` exists (source-to-skill writes one while
the source is still in context), use it. Otherwise draft one:

1. Read `<skill-dir>/source.json` (topic skills: `sources/*.source.json`).
   Missing → say the skill was not made by source-to-skill and ask for the
   original source.
2. Re-extract the source with the source-to-skill extractor into a fresh
   work dir (`python3 scripts/extract.py "<source>" [options from the
   manifest] --work-dir <tmp>/skill_eval`, run from the source-to-skill
   skill folder). Tell the user the `est_tokens` and ask before reading it.
3. Draft 8 questions from `full_text.txt`, never from the skill, spread
   across the source's segments: 3 concrete facts or numbers, 2 decision
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add michalstrnadel/source-to-skill/skill-eval@sha256:651b6689c9a9d5d7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.e43070c, 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.
