agentic-eval SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
agentic-eval from github/awesome-copilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/agentic-eval@git:20260119.3d00ec4Pins git:20260119.3d00ec4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Patterns and techniques for evaluating and improving AI agent outputs. Use this skill when: - Implementing self-critique and reflection loops - Building evaluator-optimizer pipelines for quality-critical generation - Creating test-driven code refinement workflows - Designing rubric-based or LLM-as-judge evaluation systems - Adding iterative improvement to agent outputs (code, reports, analysis) - Measuring and improving agent response quality.
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
# Agentic Evaluation Patterns
Patterns for self-improvement through iterative evaluation and refinement.
## Overview
Evaluation patterns enable agents to assess and improve their own outputs, moving beyond single-shot generation to iterative refinement loops.
```
Generate → Evaluate → Critique → Refine → Output
↑ │
└──────────────────────────────┘
```
## When to Use
- **Quality-critical generation**: Code, reports, analysis requiring high accuracy
- **Tasks with clear evaluation criteria**: Defined success metrics exist
- **Content requiring specific standards**: Style guides, compliance, formatting
---
## Pattern 1: Basic Reflection
Agent evaluates and improves its own output through self-critique.
```python
def reflect_and_refine(task: str, criteria: list[str], max_iterations: int = 3) -> str:
"""Generate with reflection loop."""
output = llm(f"Complete this task:\n{task}")
for i in range(max_iterations):
# Self-critique
critique = llm(f"""
Evaluate this output against criteria: {criteria}
Output: {output}
Rate each: PASS/FAIL with feedback as JSON.

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/agentic-eval@sha256:fb198a5c9b12e746The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260119.3d00ec4, 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.
