New evaluations are no longer created in the inspect_evals repository. Since May 2026, evaluations live in their own standalone repositories. This repo now serves as a register that points to upstream eval repos.
This skill has been moved to inspect-evals-template: https://github.com/Generality-Labs/inspect-evals-template/tree/main/.claude/skills/create-eval. If a user triggers this skill, inform them to go to the template to run or access the skill there.
If a user asks to create an eval, inform them that Inspect Evals no longer accepts code submissions for new evals and suggest the inspect-evals-template for guidance on creating evals.
| Step | Where |
|---|---|
| Create a new eval | inspect-evals-template |
| Register a completed eval | This repo — use the Prepare Evaluation For Submission skill |
Create an evaluation report for a README by selecting models, estimating costs, running evaluations, and formatting results tables. Use when user asks to make/create/generate an evaluation report. Trigger when the user asks you to run the "Make An Evaluation Report" workflow.
CI and GitHub Actions maintenance workflows — fix a failing test from a CI URL, fix a failing smoke test, add @pytest.mark.slow markers to slow tests, or review a PR against agent-checkable standards. Use when user asks to fix a failing test, fix a smoke test, mark slow tests, or review a PR. Trigger when the user asks you to run the "Write a PR For A Failing Test", "Fix A Failing Smoke Test", "Mark Slow Tests", or "Review PR According to Agent-Checkable Standards" workflow.
Prepare an evaluation for PR submission as an entry to the register. Use when user asks to prepare an eval for submission or finalize a PR. Trigger when the user asks you to run the "Prepare Evaluation For Submission" workflow.
Ensure test coverage for a single evaluation - both reviewing existing tests and creating missing ones. Analyzes testable components, checks tests against repository conventions, reports coverage gaps, and creates or improves tests. Use when user asks to check/review/create/add/ensure tests for an eval. Use whenever you are asked to review an evaluation that contains tests, or whenever you need to write a suite of tests. Do NOT use for fixing a specific failing CI test (use ci-maintenance-workflow instead).
Review a single evaluation's validity — whether its claims hold up, whether its name is accurate, whether samples can be both succeeded and failed at, and whether scoring measures ground truth. Use when user asks to check validity of an eval, or as part of the Master Checklist workflow. Do NOT use for code quality or test coverage (use eval-quality-workflow or ensure-test-coverage instead).
Audit a third-party Inspect AI evaluation for security risks before running it locally. Decide whether the eval is safe by checking for malicious host-side code, externally-fetched files that aren't quality-controlled, sandbox-breakout instructions, weak sandbox configuration, supply-chain hazards, credential exposure, resource exhaustion, and provenance signals. Use when the user asks to audit / vet / security-review an eval repo (GitHub URL or local path), or asks "is it safe to run X". Do NOT use for assessing whether an eval *measures what it claims* (use eval-validity-review) or for general code-quality review (use eval-quality-workflow / code-quality-review-all).
