/skill-test - Interactive Skill Testing

Test skills by executing generated code and building verified ground truth datasets.

Usage

/skill-test <skill-name>

Workflow

1. Load Target Skill

Read the target skill's SKILL.md and key references:

.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
.claude/skills/<skill-name>/references/  (if exists)

2. Get Test Prompt

Ask the user for a test prompt. Example prompts for mlflow-evaluation:

• •"Generate an evaluation script for a RAG agent"
• •"Create a custom scorer that checks code syntax"
• •"Build a dataset from production traces"

3. Generate Response

Respond using the loaded skill's knowledge. Include complete, runnable Python code.

4. Execute Code Blocks

Extract Python code blocks from the response. For each block:

1. •

   Write to temp file:

   bash

   cat > /tmp/skill_test_block_N.py << 'EOF'
   <code>
   EOF
   

2. •

   Execute with timeout:

   bash

   timeout 30 python /tmp/skill_test_block_N.py
   

3. •

   Report result:

   • •Success: "Block N: Executed successfully"
   • •Failure: "Block N: Failed - <error>"

5. Save Ground Truth (on success)

If ALL code blocks execute successfully, ask:

"All code executed successfully. Save as ground truth? [Y/n]"

If yes, append to benchmarks/skills/<skill-name>/ground_truth.yaml. See ground-truth-format.md for the YAML schema.

6. Handle Failure

If any code block fails, show the error and ask:

"Code execution failed. [R]etry with fix, [S]kip, or [A]bort?"

• •Retry: Generate fixed code and re-execute
• •Skip: Continue without saving
• •Abort: End the session

Notes

• •Create benchmarks/skills/<skill-name>/ directory if it doesn't exist
• •Auto-increment ground truth IDs (gt-001, gt-002, etc.)
• •Tag examples with inferred categories (e.g., "evaluation", "scorer", "dataset")
