agent-skills-eval: An open-source test framework for measuring AI agent skill effectiveness

Summary

agent-skills-eval is an open-source test runner for evaluating AI agent skills (SKILL.md files) based on the Agent Skills standard from Anthropic. It runs the same prompts twice — once with the skill loaded and once without — then uses a judge model to grade both outputs and produces a side-by-side comparison report. This allows developers to measure whether a skill actually improves agent performance or not, providing empirical evidence (receipts) for skill effectiveness.

Agent Skills — the open standard from Anthropic for giving agents domain knowledge — make it easy to ship a SKILL.md and assume your agent is now better at the task. The hard part is proving it.
agent-skills-eval is the missing piece. It runs your skill against the same prompts twice — once with_skill loaded into context, once without_skill (baseline) — has a judge model grade both outputs, and gives you a side-by-side report.
If the skill doesn't make a measurable difference, you'll see it. If it does, you have receipts.
