# Skill Eval Runner
> Evaluate Agent Skills like you evaluate AI Agents
This skill runs evaluations on other skills to measure their effectiveness using the same patterns that power AI agent evaluations.
## When to Use
- Running quality evaluations on a skill
- Testing if a skill triggers on correct prompts
- Measuring skill behavior quality
- Generating eval reports for CI/CD
## Commands
### Run Evals
```
Run evals on <skill-name>
```
### Initialize Eval Suite
```
Create evals for <skill-name>
```
### Generate Report
```
Generate eval report for <skill-name>
```
## Workflow
1. **Check for Eval Suite**: Look for `eval.yaml` in the skill directory
2. **Load Tasks**: Parse task definitions from `tasks/*.yaml`
3. **Execute**: Run each task through the configured graders
4. **Report**: Output results in JSON or Markdown format
## Metrics Measured
| Metric | Description | Default Threshold |
|--------|-------------|-------------------|
| Task Completion | Did the skill accomplish the goal? | 80% |
| Trigger Accuracy | Was skill invoked on correct prompts? | 90% |
| Behavior Quality | Tool calls, efficiency, reasoning | 70% |
## Grader Types
- **Code Graders**: Deterministic assertions, regex matching
- **LLM Graders**: Model-as-judge with configurable rubrics
- **Human Graders**: Manual review workflow
## Example Usage
### Running Evals
```bash
# From CLI
waza run ./my-skill/eval.yaml
# Output to file
waza run ./my-skill/eval.yaml -o results.json
```
### Interpreting Results
```json
{
"summary": {
"pass_rate": 0.85,
"composite_score": 0.82
},
"metrics": {
"task_completion": { "score": 0.9, "passed": true },
"trigger_accuracy": { "score": 0.95, "passed": true }
}
}
```
