Improves prompt, skill, or instruction text in scored rounds against locked eval cases, with a frozen grader hash, replicates, holdout cases, and a human read of raw transcripts before pass. Use when asked to "run the evals and fix the prompt", "make the bot pass its cases", "is the new prompt better", or "iterate on this SKILL.md until the evals pass". Not for test suites or a one-off eval run.

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 loop

Improve text that steers a model (a bot's system prompt, a `SKILL.md`, agent instructions) the way code is improved: a locked case set, a score per round, and a delta that means something. A grader change, a single run, or a tally shown as "pass" each break the comparison, so this skill refuses them.

## Inputs

- **The text under improvement**: the file or files the change edits. Everything else in the round is read-only.
- **Arguments**: a note of what changed, which goes in the round's `kind` cell; `baseline` forces a new baseline round; `pass` runs step 8 on the current best round; `round` runs the next fix round. With none, the report decides which round comes next.
- **Cases**: the project's eval cases, by default in the layout of [references/case-format.md](references/case-format.md) (a folder per case: `case.yaml`, `graders/*.md`); any layout the runner understands works. A **holdout** folder holds cases that are run and scored but never opened by whoever edits the text.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lokeshrana9999/shipyard/eval-loop@sha256:5c06b96fc6d87c29

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.05cf5dd, 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.
