eval-driven-development SKILL.md skillA
eval-driven-development from andreibesleaga/gabbe is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/eval-driven-development@git:20261014.de0823cPins git:20261014.de0823c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Build offline evaluation suites that score probabilistic LLM/agent quality, distinct from deterministic tests. Use when: build eval suite, score llm quality, golden dataset eval, eval-driven ci, prompt drift regression, pass at k reliability.
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
# Eval-Driven Development
## Goal
Build offline evaluation suites that *score* the quality of probabilistic LLM and agent
outputs, as opposed to tests that *verify* deterministic code. A unit test asserts a fixed
truth (`add(2,2) == 4`). An eval measures a distribution: "across 200 diverse inputs, how
often does the agent produce an acceptable answer, and how reliable is that across repeated
runs?" Evals raise confidence in a behavior that has no single correct output. They do not
prove correctness — be explicit about that throughout.
## Steps
1. **Define a golden dataset.**
- Collect 100-300 input→expected cases that are *diverse* (cover edge cases, failure
modes, and the long tail — not just the happy path) and *mutually exclusive* (no two
cases test the same behavior, so a single regression does not silently fail ten rows).
- Source from real production logs, known past bugs, and adversarial hand-authored cases.
- Version-control the dataset alongside code so every change is reviewable and revertible.
- Record, per case, the input, the expected output (or acceptance criteria), and which
assertion tier applies.

How to install
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/eval-driven-development@sha256:4a9a8e0f5cbc608fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.de0823c, 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.
