eval
SkillMonitoring & opsView and manage the evaluation harness — session metrics, baselines, trend analysis, and regression detection. The feedback loop that tells the system whether improvements actually improved things.

Evaluation harness: $ARGUMENTS
Commands
Parse the first word of $ARGUMENTS to determine the command:
metrics — Show current session metrics
Collect and display metrics for the current session:
- Count commits:
git log --oneline --since="today" | wc -l - Count test results: check for recent vitest output or
.eval/metrics/entries - Token usage: check LangSmith state file if available
- Pattern usage: check
.dgm/fitness.jsonfor patterns used this session - Session duration: check session start time from logs
Display as:
## Current Session Metrics
| Metric | Value | Baseline | Delta |
|--------|-------|----------|-------|
| Commits | 5 | 3.2 avg | +56% |
| Tests passing | 42/42 | 40/42 | +2 |
| Files changed | 12 | 8.5 avg | +41% |
| Patterns used | 7 | 5.3 avg | +32% |
baseline — Set or update baselines
- Read the last N session metric snapshots from
.eval/metrics/ - Calculate averages for each metric
- Write to
.eval/baselines.json - Report what changed
compare — Compare sessions
Usage: compare --last N or compare --session <id>
- Load metric snapshots from
.eval/metrics/ - Compare against baselines
- Highlight regressions (metric dropped >10% below baseline)
- Highlight improvements (metric improved >10% above baseline)
report — Generate weekly evaluation report
- Load all metrics from the past 7 days
- Calculate trends (improving, stable, declining)
- Identify top improvements and top regressions
- Generate recommendations based on trends
capture — Capture current session metrics
Write a metric snapshot to .eval/metrics/session-{timestamp}.json:
{
"session_id": "<session id>",
"timestamp": "<ISO 8601>",
"branch": "<git branch>",
"metrics": {
"commits": 0,
"tests_total": 0,
"tests_passing": 0,
"files_changed": 0,
"patterns_referenced": 0,
"assumptions_verified": 0,
"escalations": 0,
"spiral_detections": 0
},
"qualitative": {
"session_focus": "<what the session was about>",
"memory_usefulness": 0,
"knowledge_gaps_found": []
}
}
Notes
- If
.eval/baselines.jsondoesn't exist, skip baseline comparisons and suggest runningbaseline - Metric collection should be best-effort — missing data is noted, not an error
- Regressions trigger a structured escalation suggestion (not automatic action)
