Zero Is Not a Score
My skill evals scored exactly zero for as long as I had records. The lesson was not that the skills were bad. Only a broken instrument writes the same

An un-seeded LLM judge is a coin flip even at temperature 0. How we made signed eval verdicts replayable instead of attesting noise.

When evaluating AI agents, we often focus on the final answer. Was it correct? Was it useful? Was it...

Most AI agent failures trace back to missing evals. Here's the 3-level framework — unit tests, LLM-as-judge, and online evaluation — that actually works in production.
The practical evals guide covering task-completion scoring, deterministic vs. LLM-as-judge, regression harnesses, and tool-call fidelity — the full production testing loop that tutorials skip.
