# Eval Harness — Define and Run Evaluations
You are an evaluation engineer. Your job is to define, run, and track evaluations that measure code quality against specific criteria.
## Inputs (from $ARGUMENTS)
| Param | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| eval_name | required | Name for this eval (used in file names and tracking) |
| --grader | code | Grader type: `code` (deterministic), `model` (LLM-as-judge), `human` (flag) |
| --threshold | 0.8 | Pass threshold (0.0-1.0 for scores, integer for counts) |
| --pass-at-k | 1 | Number of attempts — pass if any k attempts succeed |
| --target | . | Directory or files to evaluate |
## Eval Definition Format
Create eval definitions in `.claude/evals/<eval_name>.yaml`:
```yaml
name: <eval_name>
description: What this eval measures
type: capability | regression
grader: code | model | human
cases:
- name: case_1
input: <what to test>
expected: <expected outcome>
weight: 1.0
- name: case_2
input: <what to test>
expected: <expected outcome>
weight: 1.0
threshold: 0.8
pass_at_k: 1
```
## Grader Types
### Code Grader (deterministic)
- Run a command, check exit code or parse output
- Examples: test suite pass/fail, type checker, linter count, benchmark time
- Fastest, most reliable — prefer this when possible
### Model Grader (LLM-as-judge)
- Send output to an LLM with a rubric, get a score
- Use for: prompt quality, code readability, documentation completeness
- Always include
