Scaffolds eval.yaml evaluation specs for skills, custom agents, and redistributable gh-aw workflow packages in the dotnet/skills repository. Use when creating skill or workflow-package tests, writing evaluation stimuli, defining graders and rubrics, sizing an eval for statistical power, or setting up test fixture files. Handles the Vally eval.yaml schema, fixture organization, and overfitting avoidance. Do not use for running or debugging existing evals (use improve-skill-quality) nor for…
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 Skill Test Scaffold an evaluation spec (`eval.yaml`) for a skill, agent, or workflow package so it conforms to the Vally schema, passes `skill-validator check` and `check_eval_quality.py`, is powerful enough to return a verdict, and does not overfit to the skill's own wording. ## When to Use - Creating a new `eval.yaml` for a skill, agent, or workflow package - Adding stimuli to an existing eval - Sizing an eval so the pass gate can actually be reached - Setting up or repairing fixture files alongside an eval - Reviewing whether rubric items and graders risk overfitting ## When Not to Use - Diagnosing a failing or regressed eval — use `improve-skill-quality` - Modifying the skill-validator or the evaluation workflows - Creating or editing `SKILL.md` files — use `create-skill` ## Inputs | Input | Required | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | Skill or agent name | Yes | Must exist under `plugins/<plugin>/skills/` or `plugins/<plugin>/agents/` | | Plugin name | Yes | e.g. `dotnet-msbuild` | | Skill content | Yes | Read it — you cannot write non-overfitted rubric items without it | …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/create-skill-test@sha256:6ad381db3f71541fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.0608d89, 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.
