Judge Evaluate

Judge Evaluate

Assess doer output and produce a structured verdict artifact.

Role Boundaries

• Evaluate; do not implement fixes.
• Base conclusions on concrete evidence (commands, logs, artifacts).
• Write verdict output only.
• Do not claim merge/​release readiness unless explicitly asked as a separate gate.

Required Inputs

• task_id and task statement
• patch.diff
• handoff.json
• output path for verdict.json

Optional:

• explicit eval command list
• scoring rubric overrides

Workflow

1) Verify handoff integrity

• Validate that required doer artifacts exist.
• Read handoff.json for touched files, assumptions, and smoke checks.
• Flag malformed or missing handoff fields as needs-human or reject depending on severity.

2) Evaluate implementation evidence

Run deterministic checks when commands are provided:

python3 <path-to-skill>/​scripts/​run_eval.py \
  --repo <repo-root> \
  --output <artifact-path>/​eval-results.json \
  --command "pytest -q" \
  --command "ruff check ."

• Keep outputs in machine-readable form.
• Treat failed eval commands as evidence for rejection unless out of scope.

3) Build verdict

Run:

python3 <path-to-skill>/​scripts/​write_verdict.py \
  --task-id <task-id> \
  --output <artifact-path>/​verdict.json \
  --eval-results <artifact-path>/​eval-results.json \
  --verdict reject \
  --reason "tests::2 failures in auth reset flow" \
  --requirement-checked "RQ-0102" \
  --requirement-missing "NFR-0001" \
  --required-change "Handle invalid token branch" \
  --suggested-test "pytest -q tests/​test_reset.py::test_invalid_token"

Use one of:

• pass
• reject
• needs-human

4) Validate verdict artifact

Run:

python3 <path-to-skill>/​scripts/​validate_verdict.py \
  --input <artifact-path>/​verdict.json

Evaluation Rules

• Prefer reject when evidence shows unmet behavior or failing checks.
• Use needs-human for ambiguous requirements, missing context, or conflicting constraints.
• Keep required_changes implementation-neutral and actionable.

Output Rules

• Always produce verdict.json.
• Include concrete reasons with check and details.
• Keep suggested_tests runnable.
• Keep requirements_checked and requirements_missing in stable ID form (RQ-####, NFR-####, ASMP-####, ADR-####).
