Use when producing agent/LLM evals, synthetic simulation data, or self-improvement pipelines for prompts, code, skills, agents, harnesses, and workflows. Covers AgentEvals/AgentV, Agent Skills evals, ASSERT, GEPA, Trace, VISTA, Agent Lightning, SkillOpt, Simula-style data design, progressive disclosure, deterministic workspaces, and release evidence.
USE FOR: eval creation, EVAL.yaml, AgentEvals, AgentV, evals.json, ASSERT, judge-traces, behavior taxonomy, judges, graders, rubrics, synthetic data, simulation data, Simula, QDC, source-grounded generation, prompt optimization, agent improvement, skill improvement, harness hardening, progressive disclosure, deterministic workflows, GEPA, Trace, VISTA, Agent Lightning, SkillOpt
DO NOT USE FOR: ordinary unit/integration tests without AI quality criteria (use testing), refactoring without eval or trace feedback (use refactor), generic Agent Skills packaging without eval or improvement work (use agent-skills)
