Use when converting an existing benchmark, rubric, verifier, task YAML/JSON, or domain check into SkillEvaluator BYOG/BYOT custom evaluation.

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

# Create Custom Grader

Convert team-owned benchmark definitions into runnable SkillEvaluator custom graders
and, when needed, native Harbor tasks.

## Purpose

Help an agent author valid SkillEvaluator BYOG/BYOT files from a user's
benchmark instead of leaving the user with empty grader templates.

## When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- bring an existing benchmark into SkillEvaluator
- turn a rubric into `evals/grader.py` or `evals/grader.sh`
- add custom metrics beside the default evaluator metrics
- convert task files such as `task.yaml`, `task.json`, pytest checks, or shell
  verifiers into BYOG or BYOT
- prove a team can run its own benchmark through SkillEvaluator

Do not use this skill for ordinary `evals/evals.json` authoring when no custom
grading logic is needed. Use the normal dataset authoring workflow for that.

## Instructions

1. Read the target skill, existing `evals/`, benchmark prompts, fixtures, and any verifier code.
2. Choose `default_plus_custom` when custom metrics should complement default evaluator scoring.
3. Choose `custom_only` only when the user wants the custom grader to own pass/fail semantics.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nvidia/skillevaluator/create-custom-grader@sha256:3fa1e016b4ea3fd7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260805.fe1ea34, 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.
