harness:health
SkillDatabases & dataUse when the user wants to check dataset quality, diagnose eval issues, or before running evolve. Checks size, difficulty distribution, dead examples, coverage, and splits. Auto-corrects issues found.

What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by raphaelchristi/harness-evolver in skills/health/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Check eval dataset quality and auto-correct issues. Can be run independently or is invoked by /harness:evolve before the iteration loop.
Prerequisites
.evolver.json must exist. If not, tell user to run /harness:setup.
Resolve Tool Path and Python
TOOLS="${EVOLVER_TOOLS:-$([ -d ".evolver/tools" ] && echo ".evolver/tools" || echo "$HOME/.evolver/tools")}"
EVOLVER_PY="${EVOLVER_PY:-$([ -f "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" ] && echo "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" || echo "python3")}"
1. Run Health Diagnostic
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/dataset_health.py \
--config .evolver.json \
--production-seed production_seed.json \
--output health_report.json 2>/dev/null
Print summary:
python3 -c "
import json, os
if os.path.exists('health_report.json'):
r = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
print(f'Dataset Health: {r[\"health_score\"]}/10 ({r[\"example_count\"]} examples)')
for issue in r.get('issues', []):
print(f' [{issue[\"severity\"]}] {issue[\"message\"]}')
if not r.get('issues'):
print(' No issues found.')
"
2. Auto-Correct Issues
If health_report.json has corrections, apply them automatically:
CORRECTIONS=$(python3 -c "
import json, os
if os.path.exists('health_report.json'):
r = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
for c in r.get('corrections', []):
print(c['action'])
" 2>/dev/null)
For each correction:
If create_splits: Assign 70/30 train/held_out splits:
$EVOLVER_PY -c "
from langsmith import Client
import json, random
client = Client()
config = json.load(open('.evolver.json'))
examples = list(client.list_examples(dataset_name=config['dataset']))
random.shuffle(examples)
sp = int(len(examples) * 0.7)
for ex in examples[:sp]:
client.update_example(ex.id, split='train')
for ex in examples[sp:]:
client.update_example(ex.id, split='held_out')
print(f'Assigned splits: {sp} train, {len(examples)-sp} held_out')
"
If generate_hard: Spawn testgen agent to generate hard examples:
Agent(
subagent_type: "harness-testgen",
description: "Generate hard examples to rebalance dataset",
prompt: "The dataset is skewed toward easy examples. Generate {count} HARD examples that the current agent is likely to fail on. Focus on edge cases, adversarial inputs, and complex multi-step queries. Read .evolver.json and production_seed.json for context."
)
If fill_coverage: Spawn testgen agent for missing categories:
Agent(
subagent_type: "harness-testgen",
description: "Generate examples for missing categories",
prompt: "The dataset is missing these production categories: {categories}. Generate 5 examples per missing category. Read .evolver.json and production_seed.json for context."
)
If retire_dead: Move dead examples to retired split:
$EVOLVER_PY -c "
from langsmith import Client
import json
client = Client()
report = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
dead_ids = report.get('dead_examples', {}).get('ids', [])
config = json.load(open('.evolver.json'))
examples = {str(e.id): e for e in client.list_examples(dataset_name=config['dataset'])}
retired = 0
for eid in dead_ids:
if eid in examples:
client.update_example(examples[eid].id, split='retired')
retired += 1
print(f'Retired {retired} dead examples')
"
After corrections, log what was done.
3. Report
Print final health status. If critical issues remain that couldn't be auto-corrected, warn the user.
