 description: >-
-  Run `claude plugin eval` against a standalone skill that is not a plugin, by wrapping the skill in a plugin folder, writing trigger and must-not-trigger cases, and reading the with-skill minus without-skill delta. Use when the user asks to eval or test a skill.
+  Evaluate skills with a bounded direct Codex review suite or `claude plugin eval`.
+  Use labeled inputs and deterministic grading for output correctness; use a plugin
+  wrapper and with/without-plugin comparisons for discovery and contribution.
+  Use when the user asks to eval or test a skill.

 # Plugin eval for a standalone skill
 
+For building an evaluation of an AI workflow, follow [the design process](reference/build-evaluation.md).
+For a direct Codex output-quality evaluation, use [the review suite](evals/review/README.md).
+It includes labeled cases, executable witnesses, related-group holdouts, a bounded
+`codex exec` adapter, stored replay, trace capture and deterministic precision/recall
+grading. Start with its validation command and two-case smoke. Preserve the distinction
+between grader validation, stored replay, a fresh recipe run and a complete workflow run.
+Use the plugin process below when measuring skill discovery or with/without-plugin contribution.

+# Review evaluation
+
+This is a first evaluation of the `e-code-review` low-effort recipe. It measures whether a fresh model detects a documented correctness defect and avoids reporting a defect on a clean hunk. It supplies the recipe as prompt text and adapts its final response to structured JSON. It does not measure skill discovery, tool execution, the higher review levels, repository navigation, fixes, or PR delivery.
+
+## Cases and labels
+
+`cases.json` contains 16 controller-authored synthetic cases drawn from defect classes named in `e-code-review/reference/low.md`. It has seven bug cases and nine clean cases. Ten cases are development cases; six are held out by related-case group. The cases cover the recipe's stated defect classes. Production traffic frequencies remain unmeasured. They need human review before use as a release gate. Add minimized historical accepted and rejected review findings next, with source commit references and privacy review.
+
+Each case includes a resulting-code witness, its intended value, and its observed value. `validate` executes these trusted, repository-authored snippets in bounded isolated Python processes. Never substitute model-written code into this validation path. Bug witnesses disagree with the contract; clean witnesses agree. Each witness proves the behavior of one input. Broader function correctness remains unmeasured.
+
+The model sees the contract, diff, recipe and response schema. It receives no case ID, group, witness, expected labels or split. Each call uses a separate read-only working directory. Trace inspection rejects command, MCP, search or file-change events. Read-only sandboxing does not make unrelated local files inaccessible; this is a tool-free recipe experiment, not a security isolation guarantee.
+
+## Rubric and failure taxonomy
+
+A finding matches only when its category and resulting-file line match a labeled finding. A repeated finding counts once toward recall and each extra copy counts as a false positive. A wrong location counts as both a miss and a false positive. Clean cases require an empty findings array. A nonempty failure scenario is required, but its semantic correctness is not machine-graded. Read scenarios manually before trusting conclusions. No model judge is used because detection and location have deterministic labels. Subjective scenario scoring can be added only after calibration on human-labeled good, bad and borderline outputs.
+
+Report finding precision and recall, clean-case specificity and false-positive rate, exact-case pass rate and its Wilson interval separately. The interval describes this small case set under an independence assumption; related pairs and handpicked cases limit generalization. A misplaced or invented finding, missed defect, duplicate finding and schema failure remain distinct. Launcher/provider errors, timeout and unexpected tools remain infrastructure failures outside the task denominator. Output errors appear separately and block promotion even if the scored subset passes. Do not compare runs with different scored case sets.
+
+## Reproduce
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```powershell
+$suite = 'packages/claude-dev-env/.agents/skills/plugin-eval-standalone-skill/evals/review/run.py'
+python $suite validate
+python -m pytest packages/claude-dev-env/.agents/skills/plugin-eval-standalone-skill/evals/review/test_run.py -q
+python $suite live --limit 2 --timeout 90 --model gpt-6.1-sol --effort low --output review-smoke
+python $suite live --split heldout --limit 6 --timeout 90 --model gpt-6.1-sol --effort low --output review-heldout
+```
+
+On Windows, pass `--codex <absolute-path-to-codex.exe>` when the shell launcher cannot run through `subprocess`. The adapter uses the existing login, `codex exec --json --output-schema`, ignores user config, and preserves account authentication. It never installs a service or creates credentials. Choose the account's supported model explicitly.
+
+Before each model run, record CLI and Python versions, model, effort and estimated usage. The default smoke makes at most two calls with 90-second ceilings and a three-minute batch ceiling. `--max-seconds` bounds the model-call portion of any batch and accepts at most 600 seconds. It stops on the first infrastructure failure and has no retries. The runner cannot enforce a dollar budget because the CLI does not expose a documented dollar cap here. Account billing varies; a larger run requires an agreed estimate first. The bounded CLI timeout stops the child process but cannot guarantee upstream cancellation. A run with a failed, invalid or missing attempt returns status 1.
+
+Every output directory is new. It holds prompts, raw JSONL traces, stderr, captured responses, per-case latency, usage where supplied, requested model and effort, input/recipe/dataset hashes, and summary metrics by split. Preserve these artifacts with the source commit and CLI version. Do not commit account traces until checked for sensitive paths and account metadata.
+
+Replay accepts a JSON object mapping case IDs to structured responses:
+
+```powershell
+python $suite replay --responses saved-responses.json --limit 16 --split all --output review-replay
+```
+
+Replay scores stored outputs; it makes no model calls. `validate` exercises witnesses and good/bad grader controls; it makes no model calls. `live` runs a fresh model with fixture inputs and the adapted recipe. None of these modes runs the complete repository review workflow. A passing replay or unit suite does not establish model performance.
+
+Keep held-out groups out of prompt edits. After repeated inspection, retire them as development data and create a new human-reviewed holdout. Freeze the incumbent responses and compare candidate results on matched cases, model settings and repetitions. The current set cannot justify small percentage improvements or deployment decisions.

+# First baseline, 2026-09-30 UTC
+
+Four fresh Codex calls passed four synthetic review cases. This measures the adapted low-effort recipe with fixture inputs. It does not measure installed skill discovery, repository review, review fixes or production performance.
+
+After the repository policy gate required smaller typed functions and separate configuration, the refactored runner repeated the two development cases with fresh model calls. Both passed again. The bug case took 9.676 seconds with 25,435 input tokens and 80 output tokens. The clean case took 9.339 seconds with 24,888 input tokens and 41 output tokens, including 22,144 cached input tokens. The repeat used the same model, effort, dataset and recipe. It adds two fresh attempts on existing cases, so unique case coverage stays at four. Across the initial baseline and integration repeat, six calls passed with 51.684 seconds of summed model-call latency, 150,412 reported input tokens and 375 reported output tokens. The final smoke's entry-point SHA-256 is `f9529e3be3561dec2ad5f0c07e18b5f8c35596bb87ed2b3da9bf08ddf25914d9`. Its working tree included the policy refactor before that refactor was committed.
+
+| Case | Split | Expected | Model response | Seconds | Input tokens | Output tokens |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| zero-bug | development | falsy-zero at line 2 | falsy-zero at line 2 | 8.897 | 25,431 | 73 |
+| zero-clean | development | no findings | no findings | 7.325 | 24,884 | 47 |
+| catch-bug | heldout | swallowed-error at line 5 | swallowed-error at line 5 | 9.578 | 24,884 | 83 |
+| catch-clean | heldout | no findings | no findings | 6.869 | 24,890 | 51 |
+
+The two bug scenarios name concrete inputs and consequences. The preserved model text is in [baseline-responses.json](baseline-responses.json). Manual inspection agrees with the executable witnesses for these two replies. Semantic scenario grading remains uncalibrated.
+
+Development precision and recall are 1/1. Clean specificity is 1/1 and false-positive rate is 0/1. Held-out precision and recall are 1/1. Clean specificity is 1/1 and false-positive rate is 0/1. Each split's exact-case pass rate is 2/2, with a 95% Wilson interval of 34.2% to 100%. Small related pairs make these numbers insufficient for a release decision. No repeated-run variance or with/without-skill comparison was measured.
+
+Total model-call latency is 32.669 seconds. Reported input usage totals 100,089 tokens; reported output usage totals 254 tokens. These counts include CLI context and are not the size of the case prompts alone. Account dollar cost is unavailable. No new credentials or paid service were created. Runs used the existing ChatGPT account, `gpt-6.1-sol`, low effort, Codex CLI 0.159.2 and Python 3.13.5 on Windows. The model identifier is the requested identifier; independent provider identity attestation is unavailable in these traces.
+
+Two earlier startup probes produced no scored outputs. The workspace sandbox prevented CLI app-server initialization. After permission for the same read-only smoke outside that outer sandbox, the shorthand model `gpt-6.1` was rejected as unsupported for this account. The successful runs used the account's configured identifier, `gpt-6.1-sol`. These startup failures remain infrastructure results and do not count as missed bugs.
+
+All 16 cases have passing before/after executable witness checks. All 16 known-good grader controls pass and all 16 deliberately broken controls fail. These are controller-authored validation results with zero model calls. They do not contribute to the model score. Stored replay responses are in [baseline-responses.json](baseline-responses.json); replaying them also does not create fresh evaluation coverage.
+
+Dataset SHA-256 is `698a370de7aebb4051e7a02fd4f3dfff623d879a69970538e62f79535ca82cbe`. Recipe SHA-256 is `556fd92a7a0d60c5584adc48c3b0093ff2fb092f773a5011e9aa68720bd8de34`. The source checkout was isolated from `jl-cmd/claude-dev-env` and the proposal was moved onto main commit `0beb80ca` after the first smoke. The review recipe and dataset hashes stayed unchanged. Final harness hardening adds trace/output identity validation and before-state witness checks. The four saved traces pass the final trace checks without another model call.
+
+The fresh traces, stderr, captured replies and JSONL results remain in the task workspace under `evidence/smoke-4`, `evidence/heldout-smoke` and `evidence/final-refactored-smoke`. They are separate from the proposal repository. Account and thread metadata are not published in the draft. Twelve cases remain unrun. Four held-out cases remain unopened by model execution. Human label review, historical cases, independent scenario grading and an installed-skill invocation evaluation remain outstanding.
+
+## Coverage inventory
+
+| Workflow | Inspected capability | Gap and next evaluation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Review correctness and false positives | `e-code-review` has five recipe levels. Review invocation and parser tests exist. The standalone eval skill documents Claude plugin trigger and ablation runs. | Before this proposal, the inspected review paths contain no labeled fresh-output correctness suite. This proposal covers four fresh low-effort fixture cases. Add accepted/rejected historical findings, missing-await cases, multiple findings, larger code context and invocation negatives. |
+| Asset verification and nine-patch quality | Python's `verify-design-icon-pipeline/evals/run_evals.py` registers nine scenarios and accepts agent launchers. It distinguishes live-only, source-backed and fixture-pending cases. The nine-patch grader checks verdict labels and a required token. | Preserve this runner. Nine-patch and diagnose-a-bar remain fixture-pending in its registry. A transcript label match does not prove the saved asset or render is correct. Add controller-owned render/end-state checks and matched fresh runs, then calibrate visual judgment with human-labeled good, bad and borderline crops. |
+| Transparent-alpha output | The Python skill has a separate transparent-alpha evaluator and checker proof scripts. | Audit source receipts, saved artifact hashes, image rendering and any fresh-model records before claiming end-to-end coverage. This proposal does not execute those scripts. |
+| Collection brief and eligibility selection | This task has context from the concurrent collection work; the primary collection checkout was not inspected here. | Coordinate with that owner. Preserve eligibility constraints, source candidate IDs, time validity and coverage/diversity checks. Label qualified and near-miss exclusions; run selection against an isolated data snapshot. Coverage status remains unverified. |
+| Buyer-comment drafting, translations and submission workflows | Python contains model-backed shared utilities and production pipeline code. Existing unit tests establish local contracts. | Inventory entry points, model calls and output side effects. Grade drafts separately from publishing. Use anonymized inputs, schema checks and groundedness review, then isolated end-state tests for any tool actions. No model evaluation was executed here. |
+
+This inventory is bounded by the files inspected. It does not assert the absence of evaluation in every repository or run-history store.
+
+## Skill discovery and implementation choice
+
+The exact command's published source is [claude-api/shared/evals/build-eval.md](https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/claude-api/shared/evals/build-eval.md). It builds inputs, an application runner and graders, obtains review of the inputs and grading, pilots examples, then records metrics and traces. Local plugin caches contain `skill-creator` evaluation scripts and the installed standalone plugin-eval skill. A local `claude-api` skill file was not found in the inspected skill/cache locations. The Claude launcher also fails at module startup because `ACTIVE_GUARD_DESKTOP_PROCESS_NAME_PATTERN` is missing from its constants module. No exploratory Claude agent was needed to read the published source.
+
+The direct implementation follows [OpenAI's skill evaluation guide](https://developers.openai.com/blog/eval-skills), using `codex exec --json --output-schema`. It adds the output-quality suite to the existing evaluation skill. The proposal adds no second framework. Existing Claude plugin ablation remains useful for contribution and trigger behavior. [OpenAI's hosted evaluation migration guidance](https://developers.openai.com/cookbook/examples/evaluation/moving-from-openai-evals-to-promptfoo) supports keeping cases and scoring portable. This proposal adds no hosted Evals API dependency.

+# Build an application evaluation
+
+Use this process when an AI workflow needs measured output quality. Keep the existing application entry point and evaluation infrastructure. The review suite demonstrates a classification task. Choose grading that fits each workflow's output.
+
+1. Name the decision the evaluation supports. Identify the application entry point, prompt/skill sources, model settings, tools, persistent state and outputs. Write a coverage boundary. A recipe supplied as text, a discovered installed skill and a tool-using workflow answer different questions.
+2. Inspect existing cases, saved runs and graders. Record which checks execute a model, replay stored outputs, exercise code with mocked providers or verify an environment end state. Reuse trustworthy components. A test name containing "eval" is not execution evidence.
+3. Gather representative inputs. Prefer retained, sanitized application failures and accepted outputs. Record source IDs, label authors and label provenance. Minimize sensitive inputs. If only synthetic cases are feasible, anchor them to documented contracts, name that limitation and keep human review outstanding.
+4. Cover positive, negative and near-miss cases. Include confusing valid inputs and malicious instructions inside task data. Group related cases before splitting so paraphrases and paired examples do not cross development and held-out sets. Save a dataset hash. Keep labels and scoring code outside the model's task context.
+5. Choose grading that measures the outcome. Use exact labels, schemas, resource constraints, rendered pixels, hidden tests or saved environment state when possible. Transcript checks measure process. They do not prove file contents, API actions or rendered outputs. For open-ended judgments, define checkable dimensions, calibrate on human-labeled good/bad/borderline outputs, blind model identity and candidate order, allow ties, and preserve disagreement. A judge must treat all candidate text as untrusted data.
+6. Prove the grader catches the intended mistakes. Score known-good, known-bad and borderline controls. Deliberately break an important output or end state and show the expected failure. Report these as harness validation with zero task-model performance claims.
+7. Prepare a bounded fresh smoke. State call count, token/cost estimate where available and total runtime cap. Use existing authorized credentials. Run in an isolated disposable workspace, enforce tool/side-effect boundaries, preserve traces and stop on infrastructure failure. Do not retry indefinitely or start a service to make the evaluation work.
+8. Record each completed attempt immediately. Include case/group/split, repeat, dataset and prompt hashes, source revision, model and effort, dependency versions, raw output, trace, latency, usage and cost if available. Preserve one authoritative output per attempt. Keep infrastructure, parsing, grader and task failures separate. A zero-exit launcher alone is not evidence of completed inference.
+9. Inspect pilot outputs beside grades. For a classification task, show confusion counts, precision, recall, specificity and false-positive rate. For tool workflows, score the isolated final state. Report task failures even when format adherence passes. Include missing/failed attempts; do not compare variants on unmatched survivors.
+10. Freeze the baseline. Run candidates on matched inputs and settings, measure repeated-run variation and keep held-out cases out of tuning. Review cases and grading with the owner before using scores as a release gate. When a held-out set repeatedly influences changes, retire it into development data and create a new reviewed holdout.
+
+Deliver the readable baseline report, cases, grading contract, one reproducible command and the next coverage gap. Name the execution tier in every headline result. A two-case smoke validates integration; it cannot establish a broad improvement.
+
+## Direct and plugin execution
+
+For Codex, the supported local entry point is `codex exec --json --output-schema <schema>` with bounded execution and captured last response. [OpenAI's skill evaluation guide](https://developers.openai.com/blog/eval-skills) explains trace checks and explicit, implicit, contextual and negative invocation cases. Use the [review example](../evals/review/README.md) for deterministic output-quality scoring. It supplies a recipe as text and does not measure invocation.
+
+For Claude skill discovery and contribution, use this skill's existing wrapper and ablation instructions. A with-plugin score requires a matched without-plugin score before claiming the plugin helps. Keep both raw traces and permission denials.
+
+The published [Claude build-eval guide](https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/claude-api/shared/evals/build-eval.md) also centers input review, grader calibration and application execution. This workflow can run directly in Codex; a Claude subprocess is not required to design or score it. [OpenAI's migration guide](https://developers.openai.com/cookbook/examples/evaluation/moving-from-openai-evals-to-promptfoo) describes portable evaluation tooling. Add another framework only when the existing runner cannot meet the needed contract.
