Run a project's own eval suite end to end without babysitting: locate the harness, launch it in the background, monitor to completion, parse the report into a normalized summary (pass rate, latency percentiles, tokens, cost), and diff against the previous run with per-case regressions explained. Use when asked to "run the evals", re-run after a change, or score a new dataset in any repo with an eval harness. Do NOT use for the GAP benchmark suite (use run-evals), SAIGE provider-boundary checks…
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
# Run Eval Harness Own the whole run-monitor-parse-diff loop and return once with a complete summary. The user should never have to ask "check the current state". ## 1. Locate the harness Search in order; stop at the first hit: 1. Project docs: README, AGENTS.md, docs/ mentioning "eval". 2. Task runners: `justfile`, `Makefile`, `package.json` scripts, `pyproject` scripts with eval targets. 3. Convention paths: `evals/`, `eval/`, `benchmarks/`, files matching `*eval*.py|ts|go`. If multiple harnesses exist, pick the one the user named; otherwise list them and pick the default documented in the repo. Note the dataset in use (golden set path) and where reports land (for example `eval_report*`, `results/`, `run_log.jsonl`). ## 2. Launch in the background - Run via the documented entry point with the repo's own defaults; do not invent flags. - Use a background shell so the session stays free; capture stdout to a log file in the scratchpad. - Record start time, git commit, model or provider config in effect. ## 3. Monitor without spamming Poll the log at an interval matched to expected runtime (a 10 minute run …

How to install
mdr add urmzd/dotfiles/run-eval-harness@sha256:39391d128a803500The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.aa74bbe, 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.
