eval SKILL.md skillA

eval from ariaxhan/kernel-claude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/eval@git:20261017.fd085ca

Pins git:20261017.fd085ca in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Eval-Driven Development (EDD) for AI workflows. pass@k metrics, capability evals, regression evals. Triggers: eval, edd, pass@k, capability, regression, benchmark.

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 id="eval">

<prerequisite>
AgentDB read-start has run. Check for existing eval definitions in _meta/research/.
Understand what behavior you're evaluating before writing evals.
</prerequisite>

<reference>
Skill-specific: skills/eval/reference/eval-research.md
</reference>

<core_principles>
1. DEFINE BEFORE CODE: Evals written first force clear thinking about success criteria.
2. CODE GRADERS > MODEL GRADERS: Deterministic checks beat probabilistic judgments.
3. STRUCTURAL SEPARATION FOR HIGH-STAKES: When stakes are real (security, payments, eval-of-evals, agent quality scoring), use the blind-evaluator agent — never self-score. Self-scoring inflates results ~36% structurally; procedural separation ("I won't peek") does not fix it.
4. TRACK PASS@K: pass@1 (first attempt), pass@3 (within 3 attempts). Target pass@3 > 90%.
5. REGRESSION BEFORE SHIP: Every change must pass existing evals before merge.
6. FAST EVALS GET RUN: Slow evals get skipped. Keep evaluation fast.
</core_principles>

<workflow>
1. DEFINE: Write eval criteria before implementation. (gate: criteria exist in writing before any code)
2. IMPLEMENT: Code to pass defined evals.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/eval@sha256:0bedeef3d095c785

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.fd085ca, 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.
