writing-evals

writing-evals is an LLM evaluation & observability skill for AI agents, published by PostHog in the posthog repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates writing-evals F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Teaches how to write and run evals on the `products/posthog_ai/eval_harness/` harness — sandboxed agent suites that execute the real coding agent in a Docker or Modal sandbox against a seeded Hedgebox project, and one-shot suites that score a single in-process model invocation per case. Use when adding or changing eval suites, cases, scorers, seeders, or synthesizers under `products/posthog_ai/evals/` or `products/*/evals/`, when touching the harness under `products/posthog_ai/eval_harness/`, or when running or debugging those evals (`hogli evals`). Covers suite kinds and discovery, case anatomy, the seeder/synthesizer split, the one-branch scorer patterns, and how to read results. Not for `ee/hogai/eval/ci/` pytest evals, and not for the LLM Analytics product's evaluation features.
