Overview

This skill provides tools to add structured evaluation results to Hugging Face model cards. It supports multiple methods for adding evaluation data:

• Extracting existing evaluation tables from README content
• Importing benchmark scores from Artificial Analysis
• Running custom model evaluations with vLLM or accelerate backends (lighteval/inspect-ai)

When to Use

• You need to add structured evaluation results to a Hugging Face model card.
• You want to import benchmark data or run custom evaluations with vLLM, lighteval, or inspect-ai.
• You are preparing leaderboard-compatible model-index metadata for a model release.

Integration with HF Ecosystem

• Model Cards: Updates model-index metadata for leaderboard integration
• Artificial Analysis: Direct API integration for benchmark imports
• Papers with Code: Compatible with their model-index specification
• Jobs: Run evaluations directly on Hugging Face Jobs with uv integration
• vLLM: Efficient GPU inference for custom model evaluation
• lighteval: HuggingFace's evaluation library with vLLM/accelerate backends
• inspect-ai: UK AI Safety Institute's evaluation framework

IMPORTANT: Using This Skill

⚠️ CRITICAL: Check for Existing PRs Before Creating New Ones

Before creating ANY pull request with --create-pr, you MUST check for existing open PRs:

uv run scripts/evaluation_manager.py get-prs --repo-id "username/model-name"

If open PRs exist:

1. DO NOT create a new PR - this creates duplicate work for maintainers
2. Warn the user that open PRs already exist
3. Show the user the existing PR URLs so they can review them
4. Only proceed if the user explicitly confirms they want to create another PR

This prevents spamming model repositories with duplicate evaluation PRs.

All paths are relative to the directory containing this SKILL.md file. Before running any script, first cd to that directory or use the full path.

Use --help for the latest workflow guidance. Works with plain Python or uv run:

uv run scripts/evaluation_manager.py --help
uv run scripts/evaluation_manager.py inspect-tables --help
uv run scripts/evaluation_manager.py extract-readme --help

Key workflow (matches CLI help):

1. get-prs → check for existing open PRs first
2. inspect-tables → find table numbers/columns
3. extract-readme --table N → prints YAML by default
4. add --apply (push) or --create-pr to write changes

Core Capabilities

1. Inspect and Extract Evaluation Tables from README

• Inspect Tables: Use inspect-tables to see all tables in a README with structure, columns, and sample rows
• Parse Markdown Tables: Accurate parsing using markdown-it-py (ignores code blocks and examples)
• Table Selection: Use --table N to extract from a specific table (required when multiple tables exist)
• Format Detection: Recognize common formats (benchmarks as rows, columns, or comparison tables with multiple models)
• Column Matching: Automatically identify model columns/rows; prefer --model-column-index (index from inspect output). Use --model-name-override only with exact column header text.
• YAML Generation: Convert selected table to model-index YAML format
• Task Typing: --task-type sets the task.type field in model-index output (e.g., text-generation, summarization)

2. Import from Artificial Analysis

• API Integration: Fetch benchmark scores directly from Artificial Analysis
• Automatic Formatting: Convert API responses to model-index format
• Metadata Preservation: Maintain source attribution and URLs
• PR Creation: Automatically create pull requests with evaluation updates

3. Model-Index Management

• YAML Generation: Create properly formatted model-index entries
• Merge Support: Add evaluations to existing model cards without overwriting
• Validation: Ensure compliance with Papers with Code specification
• Batch Operations: Process multiple models efficiently

4. Run Evaluations on HF Jobs (Inference Providers)

• Inspect-AI Integration: Run standard evaluations using the inspect-ai library
• UV Integration: Seamlessly run Python scripts with ephemeral dependencies on HF infrastructure
• Zero-Config: No Dockerfiles or Space management required
• Hardware Selection: Configure CPU or GPU hardware for the evaluation job
• Secure Execution: Ha
