eval-harness

Eval-driven development (EDD) framework for AI coding sessions — define capability and regression evals before coding, grade with code-based, model-based, rule, or human graders, and track pass@k and pass^k reliability. Use when defining pass/fail criteria for agent tasks, measuring agent reliability, building regression suites for prompt or agent changes, or benchmarking across model versions.

Target: Software development & testing. Automatically collected · unverified.

A formal evaluation framework for Claude Code sessions, implementing eval-driven development (EDD) principles. Setting up eval-driven development (EDD) for AI-assisted workflows Defining pass/fail criteria for Claude Code task completion Measuring agent reliability with pass@k metrics Creating regression test suites for prompt or agent changes Benchmarking agent performance across model versions Eval-Driven Development treats evals as the "unit tests of AI development": Define expected behavior BEFORE implementation Run evals continuously during development Track regressions with each change Use pass@k metrics for reliability measurement Test if Claude can do something it couldn't before: Ensure changes don't break existing functionality: Deterministic checks using code: Use Claude to evaluate open-ended outputs: Flag for manual review: "At least one success in k attempts" pass@1: First attempt success rate pass@3: Success within 3 attempts Typical target: pass@3 > 90% "All k trials succeed" Higher bar for reliability pass^3: 3 consecutive successes Use for critical paths Write code to pass the defined evals.
