Nick Hollon and colleagues have published a hands-on guide to building synthetic agent environments and tasks. The article introduces a two-step pipeline: the first step constructs an initial environment using traces, code, or human input; the second step rapidly generates evaluation environments by assessing engineering skills. The approach aims to tackle the inefficiency of building agent evaluation environments.
