Need help deploying dev:dry-run?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/raphaelchristi-dev-dry-run
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

# /dev:dry-run
Smoke-test the evolve pipeline. Two modes depending on whether LANGSMITH_API_KEY is available.
## Resolve Paths
```bash
TOOLS="${EVOLVER_TOOLS:-$([ -d "tools" ] && echo "tools" || echo "$HOME/.evolver/tools")}"
EVOLVER_PY="${EVOLVER_PY:-$([ -f "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" ] && echo "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" || echo "python3")}"
```
## Check: Online or Offline?
```bash
if [ -n "$LANGSMITH_API_KEY" ]; then
echo "MODE: Online (LANGSMITH_API_KEY found)"
MODE="online"
else
echo "MODE: Offline (no LANGSMITH_API_KEY)"
MODE="offline"
fi
```
## Offline Mode (no API key)
Validate tool syntax and argparse consistency:
```bash
echo "=== Tool Syntax Check ==="
for f in $TOOLS/*.py; do
python3 -c "import ast; ast.parse(open('$f').read())" 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "OK: $(basename $f)"; else echo "FAIL: $(basename $f)"; fi
done
echo ""
echo "=== Argparse Flags Check ==="
for f in $TOOLS/*.py; do
$EVOLVER_PY "$f" --help > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "OK: $(basename $f) --help"; else echo "FAIL: $(basename $f) --help"; fi
done
echo ""
echo "=== Skill Cross-Reference Check ==="
# Check every tool referenced in evolve skill exists
for TOOL in $(grep -oh '\$TOOLS/[a-z_]*.py' skills/evolve/SKILL.md | sed 's/\$TOOLS\///' | sort -u); do
if [ -f "$TOOLS/$TOOL" ]; then
echo "OK: $TOOL referenced and exists"
else
echo "FAIL: $TOOL referenced in evolve skill but not found"
fi
done
```
## Online Mode (with API key)
Run the full pipeline with a mock agent:
### 1. Create temp directory with mock agent
```bash
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
cat > "$TMPDIR/agent.py" << 'PYEOF'
import json, sys
input_path = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else None
if input_path:
with open(input_path) as f:
data = json.load(f)
question = data.get("input", data.get("question", ""))
print(json.dumps({"output": f"Mock answer to: {question}"}))
else:
print(json.dumps({"output": "No input provided"}))
PYEOF
cat > "$TMPDIR/test_inputs.json" << 'JSONEOF'
[
{"input": "What is 2+2?"},
{"input": "Name a color"},
{"input": "What is Python?"}
]
JSONEOF
echo "Mock agent created at $TMPDIR"
```
### 2. Run setup
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/setup.py \
--project-name "dry-run-test" \
--entry-point "python3 $TMPDIR/agent.py {input}" \
--framework "unknown" \
--goals "accuracy" \
--dataset-from-file "$TMPDIR/test_inputs.json" \
--output "$TMPDIR/.evolver.json"
```
### 3. Run eval
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/run_eval.py \
--config "$TMPDIR/.evolver.json" \
--worktree-path "$TMPDIR" \
--experiment-prefix "dry-run-v001a"
```
### 4. Read results
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/read_results.py \
--experiment "dry-run-v001a" \
--config "$TMPDIR/.evolver.json" \
--format markdown
```
### 5. Trace insights
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/trace_insights.py \
--from-experiment "dry-run-v001a" \
--output "$TMPDIR/trace_insights.json"From raphaelchristi/harness-evolver, MIT.
