LangChain ships an eval-engineering skill for coding agents in Codex and Claude Code
BraceSproul · x · 2026-07-23
LangChain says its new Eval Engineering Skill can help coding agents build evaluations from repository context and agent traces.
- The skill is available in the langchain-ai/langchain-skills repo.
- It is designed to be used inside Codex or Claude Code.
- The workflow starts by opening the target repository with the agent you want to evaluate, then using a prompt to create an eval task under evals/.
- The output includes a target run plus a review step to check whether the verifier actually measured the intended behavior.
- The quoted launch text says the skill inspects how the agent is structured and mines traces to automate eval engineering.
