Agent Evaluation V3

Agent Evaluation

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-bundle-agent-architect/skills/agent-evaluation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Agent Evaluation Testing and benchmarking LLM agents including behavioral testing, capability assessment, reliability metrics, and production monitoring—where even top agents achieve less than 50% on real-world benchmarks

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Capabilities, Prerequisites, Scope, Ecosystem, Patterns, Sharp Edges.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• User mentions or implies: agent testing
• User mentions or implies: agent evaluation
• User mentions or implies: benchmark agents
• User mentions or implies: agent reliability
• User mentions or implies: test agent
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Testing and benchmarking LLM agents including behavioral testing,.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Capabilities

• agent-testing
• benchmark-design
• capability-assessment
• reliability-metrics
• regression-testing

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @agent-evaluation-v3 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @agent-evaluation-v3 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @agent-evaluation-v3 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @agent-evaluation-v3 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-bundle-agent-architect/skills/agent-evaluation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Agent scores well on benchmarks but fails in production

Severity: HIGH

Situation: High benchmark scores don't predict real-world performance

Symptoms:

• High benchmark scores, low user satisfaction
• Production errors not seen in testing
• Performance degrades under real load

Why this breaks: Benchmarks have known answer patterns. Production has long-tail edge cases. User inputs are messier than test data.

Recommended fix:

// Bridge benchmark and production evaluation

Same test passes sometimes, fails other times

Severity: HIGH

Situation: Test suite is unreliable, CI is broken or ignored

Symptoms:

• CI randomly fails
• Tests pass locally, fail in CI
• Re-running fixes test failures

Why this breaks: LLM outputs are stochastic. Tests expect deterministic behavior. No retry or statistical handling.

Recommended fix:

Agent optimized for metric, not actual task

Severity: MEDIUM

Situation: Agent scores well on metric but quality is poor

Symptoms:

• Metric scores high but users complain
• Agent behavior feels "off" despite good scores
• Gaming becomes obvious when metric changed

Why this breaks: Metrics are proxies for quality. Agents can game specific metrics. Overfitting to evaluation criteria.

Recommended fix:

// Multi-dimensional evaluation to prevent gaming

class MultiDimensionalEvaluator { async evaluate( agent: Agent, testCases: TestCase[] ): Promise { const dimensions: EvaluationDimension[] = [ { name: 'correctness', weight: 0.3, evaluator: this.evaluateCorrectness.bind(this) }, { name: 'helpfulness', weight: 0.2, evaluator: this.evaluateHelpfulness.bind(this) }, { name: 'safety', weight: 0.25, evaluator: this.evaluateSafety.bind(this) }, { name: 'efficiency', weight: 0.15, evaluator: this.evaluateEfficiency.bind(this) }, { name: 'user_preference', weight: 0.1, evaluator: this.evaluateUserPreference.bind(this) } ];

    const results: DimensionResult[] = [];

    for (const dimension of dimensions) {
        const score = await dimension.evaluator(agent, testCases);
        results.push({
            dimension: dimension.name,
            score,
            weight: dimension.weight,
            weightedScore: score * dimension.weight
        });
    }

        recommendation: this.generateRecommendation(results, gaming)
    };
}

    const variance = scores.reduce((sum, s) => sum + Math.pow(s - mean, 2), 0) / scores.length;

    // High variance suggests gaming one metric
    if (variance > 0.15) {
        const highScorer = results.find(r => r.score > mean + 0.2);
        const lowScorers = results.filter(r => r.score < mean - 0.1);

        return {
            detected: true,
            details: `High ${highScorer?.dimension} (${highScorer?.score.toFixed(2)}) but low ${lowScorers.map(l => l.dimension).join(', ')}`
        };
    }

    return { detected: false };
}

// Human evaluation for dimensions that can be gamed
private async evaluateUserPreference(
    agent: Agent,
    testCases: TestCase[]
): Promise<number> {
    // Sample for human evaluation
    const sample = this.sampleForHumanEval(testCases, 20);

    // In real implementation, this would involve actual human raters
    // Here we simulate with a separate LLM acting as evaluator
    const evaluatorLLM = new EvaluatorLLM();

    const ratings: number[] = [];
    for (const test of sample) {
        const output = await agent.process(test.input);
        const rating = await evaluatorLLM.rateQuality(test, output);
        ratings.push(rating);
    }

    return ratings.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0) / ratings.length;

Test data accidentally used in training or prompts

Severity: CRITICAL

Situation: Agent has seen test examples, artificially inflating scores

Symptoms:

• Perfect scores on specific tests
• Score drops on new test versions
• Agent "knows" answers it shouldn't

Why this breaks: Test data in fine-tuning dataset. Examples in system prompt. RAG retrieves test documents.

Recommended fix:

// Prevent data leakage in agent evaluation

class LeakageDetector { async detectLeakage( agent: Agent, testSuite: TestCase[], trainingData: TrainingExample[], systemPrompt: string ): Promise { const leaks: Leak[] = [];

    // 1. Check for exact matches in training data
    for (const test of testSuite) {
        const exactMatch = trainingData.find(
            t => this.similarity(t.input, test.input) > 0.95
        );

        if (exactMatch) {
            leaks.push({
                type: 'training_data',
                testId: test.id,
