description	Run evaluation tests against a multi-agent workflow to assess orchestration quality and failure archetype resistance

Workflow Evaluation

Run automated evaluation tests against a multi-agent workflow.

Research Foundation

• REF-001: BP-9 - Continuous evaluation of agent performance
• REF-002: KAMI benchmark methodology for real agentic task evaluation

Usage

/eval-workflow flow-security-review-cycle
/eval-workflow flow-inception-to-elaboration --scenario distractor-test
/eval-workflow flow-deploy-to-production --verbose --strict

Arguments

Argument	Required	Description
workflow-name	Yes	Workflow (flow command) to evaluate

Options

Option	Default	Description
--scenario	all	Specific scenario to run
--verbose	false	Show detailed test output
--output	stdout	Output file for results
--strict	false	Fail on any test failure
--timeout	300	Maximum seconds per scenario

What Gets Evaluated

Orchestration Quality

• Agent coordination: Parallel agents launched correctly in single message
• Handoff fidelity: Artifacts pass correctly between phases
• Gate enforcement: Phase gates checked before transition

Archetype Resistance

• grounding-test — Archetype 1: Premature action without reading state
• distractor-test — Archetype 3: Context pollution from irrelevant artifacts
• recovery-test — Archetype 4: Fragile execution when subagent fails

Output Validation

• Required artifacts created in correct .aiwg/ paths
• Document structure matches templates
• Traceability links intact

Process

1. Load Workflow: Read flow command definition
2. Select Scenarios: Based on --scenario flag or all applicable
3. Setup Workspace: Create isolated .aiwg/working/ test space
4. Execute Flow: Run workflow against each scenario
5. Validate Outputs: Check artifact presence, structure, and content
6. Generate Report: Output results with pass/fail per assertion
7. Cleanup: Remove test workspace

Examples

# Full evaluation of a workflow
/eval-workflow flow-security-review-cycle

# Single scenario with verbose output
/eval-workflow flow-inception-to-elaboration --scenario grounding-test --verbose

# Strict mode with output saved
/eval-workflow flow-deploy-to-production --strict --output .aiwg/reports/deploy-eval.json

Success Criteria

Metric	Target
