# Plugin Eval

Use this as the beginner-friendly umbrella entrypoint for local Codex skill and plugin evaluation.

## Start Here

1. Resolve whether the target path is a skill, a plugin, or another local folder.
2. Prefer the chat-first router when the user speaks naturally or is not sure which command they need:

```bash
plugin-eval start <path> --request "<user request>" --format markdown
```

3. Route natural chat requests to the matching workflow:
   - "Give me an analysis of the game dev skill." -> resolve the named skill path, run `plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown`, then initialize a benchmark and show the setup questions needed to tailor `benchmark.json`
   - "Evaluate this skill." -> `plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown`
   - "Why did this score that way?" -> `plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown`
   - "What should I fix first?" -> `plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown`
   - "Explain the token budget for this skill." -> `plugin-eval explain-budget <path> --format markdown`
   - "Measure the real token usage of this skill." -> benchmark flow, then `plugin-eval measurement-plan`
   - "Help me benchmark this plugin." -> starter benchmark flow
   - "What should I run next?" -> `plugin-eval start <path> --request "What should I run next?" --format markdown`
4. If the user wants rewrite help after evaluation, route to `../improve-skill/SKILL.md`.
5. If the user wants a custom rubric, route to `../metric-pack-designer/SKILL.md`.
6. If the user names a skill instead of giving a path, resolve it locally before running commands:
   - check `~/.codex/skills/<skill-name>` first
   - then check any repo-local `skills/<skill-name>` directory
   - if the name is still ambiguous, ask one short clarifying question before continuing
7. When the request sounds like "analysis" rather than just "evaluate", do the fuller path:
   - run the report
   - initialize `.plugin-eval/benchmark.json`
   - surface the setup questions that will refine the starter scenarios
   - preview the dry-run command the user can execute next

## Chat Requests To Recognize

- `Give me an analysis of the game dev skill.`
- `Evaluate this skill.`
- `Evaluate this plugin.`
- `Why did this score that way?`
- `What should I fix first?`
- `Explain the token budget for this skill.`
- `Measure the real token usage of this skill.`
- `Help me benchmark this plugin.`
- `What should I run next?`

## Matching Commands

```bash
plugin-eval start <path> --request "Evaluate this skill." --format markdown
plugin-eval start <path> --request "Give me a full analysis of this skill, including benchmark setup." --format markdown
plugin-eval analyze <path> --format markdown
plugin-eval explain-budget <path> --format markdown
plugin-eval measurement-plan <path> --format markdown
plugin-eval init-benchmark <path>
plugin-eval benchmark <path> --dry-run
plugin-eval benchmark <path>
```

## Output Expectations

- Prefer the JSON result as the source of truth.
- Lead with `At a Glance`, `Why It Matters`, `Fix First`, and `Recommended Next Step`.
- Keep the `why` content terse and easy to skim.
- Call out whether budget numbers are static estimates or measured harness results.
- Show the user the exact chat phrase they can reuse next, the `plugin-eval start` command that routes it, and the first local workflow command behind it.
- When the user asks for an analysis of a named skill, do not stop at the report if benchmark setup is still missing.
- When the user is asking about a skill specifically, hand off to `../evaluate-skill/SKILL.md`.
- When the user is asking about a plugin bundle, hand off to `../evaluate-plugin/SKILL.md`.
