Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Eval setup refuses directories it cannot vouch for

Plugins not in their notes

Eval setup refuses directories with unverifiable ownership or symlinks, and cleans up after a failed setup.

--eval-dir
What

When setting up evals, the command takes the directory from --eval-dir or the plugin manifest's experimental.evals, refuses to read a manifest in a directory whose ownership it cannot confirm, refuses symlinked or foreign-owned output locations, and removes any directories it created if setup fails.

Details
  • The bundled plugin-eval reference documents were updated to match: the notes calling --eval-dir an upcoming release are gone and the flag is listed among the options.
  • The eval command itself remains early-access gated.
Evidence

pass --eval-dir to name the directory

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
