eval-models SKILL.md skillA

eval-models from abhiindigloo/evalharness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Run the user's own examples against several AI models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including local Ollama or vLLM) and measure pass rate, latency, and billed cost to find the cheapest model that meets their quality bar. Use whenever the user wants to test, benchmark, evaluate, or prove which model works for their task, asks "is the cheaper model good enough", wants evidence before switching models, or has a shortlist from find-model to validate, or wants evals…

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

# Evaluate models on the user's examples

Turn a model recommendation into evidence. The script sends identical prompts to each candidate, applies deterministic checks to every reply, and reports pass rate, latency, tokens, and cost. It uses only the Python 3.9+ standard library.

## Workflow

1. **Agree the candidates.** Use the shortlist from find-model or the user's list. Each needs the exact current model ID and route; verify IDs from official docs. Read references/config-schema.md for the fields and supported providers.

2. **Collect examples.** Ask for 10 to 30 representative inputs, including hard and edge cases. They should be redacted or synthetic. Fewer than 10 examples is a smoke test; say so.

   In a repository, draft them first: call the `modelfinder_draft_eval_examples` MCP tool (or run `python3 scripts/repo_scan.py examples .`). It reads prompt files and fixtures (`prompts/`, `evals/`, `fixtures/`, `*.prompt.md`, JSONL with `input`, `prompt` or chat `messages`), drops any candidate containing detected personal data or secrets, and returns drafts with empty `checks`. Show the drafts to the user, let them remove or edit any, fill template variables, and agree checks…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add abhiindigloo/evalharness/eval-models@sha256:1df1023c91338911

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.c0363cf, 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.
