This is exactly why evals matter more than prompt or engineering skills alone....because instruction-following is measurable! Without the eval layer, “I wrote a good skill” can become mostly (sometimes, even dangerous) bs. Evals mean you can turn things like a skill's "hard prohibitions" into automated checks that make model output quantifiable and testable; pretty much every flaw listed here in @lex_node 's tweet would qualify. Code-based evals would catch a lot of these deterministically; LLM-as-judge would handle the more semantic ones. So what can you do to learn evals to fix these types of (literal) skill issues? Where do you start? Well, you can take @HamelHusain and @sh_reya 's excellent evals course! But, to give you some appetite for your deep dive, let's drill into some step by step evals basics for beginners:
