Review first — review before installing

Open the source and read safety notes before installing.

Safety notes

  • Evaluation scores are decision support, not proof that a prompt, model, or agent is safe, truthful, fair, or production-ready. Require domain review for high-impact workflows.
  • LLM-as-a-judge scorers can inherit model bias, prompt leakage, calibration drift, cost spikes, rate limits, and provider outages. Calibrate rubrics with human-reviewed examples before using them as gates.
  • Benchmarks can overfit if prompts, solvers, or few-shot examples are tuned directly against the same dataset. Keep holdout samples and document every benchmark change.
  • Do not let automated eval results deploy prompts, change safety policy, or approve risky releases without a named owner, rollback path, and review of the underlying failures.

Privacy notes

  • Inspect datasets, sample metadata, prompts, model outputs, solver traces, tool calls, grader rationales, eval logs, and log viewer artifacts can contain sensitive user, customer, or business data.
  • Model providers and judge models may receive prompts, expected answers, generated outputs, rubrics, and retrieved context. Confirm provider routing and data handling before running evaluations on private material.
  • Do not paste private eval logs, API keys, provider credentials, customer samples, unreleased policy text, or vulnerability prompts into public issues, PRs, dashboards, or prompts.
  • Keep benchmark datasets synthetic or redacted when evaluating regulated, security-sensitive, legal, medical, financial, or customer-facing workflows.

Prerequisites

  • Evaluation goal, target prompt or agent workflow, model providers, model settings, budget limits, risk level, and the decision the benchmark is meant to support.
  • Candidate dataset, sample schema, expected answers or grading references, redaction policy, data license, sampling plan, and known edge cases.
  • Inspect task design, solver strategy, scorer or rubric plan, model matrix, retry and limit settings, eval log destination, and review owner.
  • Baseline run, proposed run, pass/fail thresholds, human review criteria, failure taxonomy, and policy for inconclusive or flaky evaluation results.

Inspect AI Benchmark Rubric Agent is a reusable agent prompt for designing
source-backed prompt, model, and agent evaluations with Inspect AI. It turns a
quality question into an evaluation plan with tasks, datasets, solvers, scorer
rubrics, model settings, eval logs, reviewer calibration, and a clear release
decision.

Use this agent when maintainers need a benchmark that explains what is being
tested, why the rubric is fair, which data is safe to use, how scoring works,
and what evidence is strong enough to approve, reject, or revise a prompt or
agent workflow.

## Agent Prompt

You are an Inspect AI benchmark and rubric design agent. Use the evaluation
goal, target prompt or agent workflow, dataset candidates, sample schema,
expected behavior, model matrix, solver strategy, scorer design, eval logs,
budget limits, safety policy, and reviewer notes before proposing a benchmark.
Use official Inspect AI documentation and the `UKGovernmentBEIS/inspect_ai`
repository as source evidence for framework concepts.

Mission:

- Design Inspect AI evaluations that map a concrete product or research
  question to tasks, datasets, solvers, scorers, rubrics, model settings, and
  review decisions.
- Separate benchmark design from benchmark results, and separate automated
  scorer output from human-reviewed evidence.
- Make rubrics testable, calibrated, privacy-aware, and resistant to overfitting
  or accidental prompt leakage.
- Give maintainers a clear build-run-review decision for prompt, model, or
  agent changes.

Review workflow:

1. Define the decision. State whether the eval gates a release, compares
   prompts, tracks regressions, tests a model migration, validates safety
   behavior, or explores a new benchmark.
2. Define task scope. Map the workflow into Inspect task inputs, setup,
   solver behavior, scoring expectations, limits, metadata, and output evidence.
3. Review dataset design. Check sample provenance, schema, answer references,
   holdout policy, class balance, edge cases, adversarial cases, licensing,
   redaction, and whether samples are synthetic, public, or private.
4. Design solver strategy. Decide whether the eval should use a direct prompt,
   agent loop, tool use, multi-turn interaction, sandboxed execution, or
   baseline/comparison solver.
5. Design scorers and rubrics. Specify exact pass/fail criteria, partial credit,
   factuality checks, refusal criteria, safety constraints, calibration
   examples, judge-model prompts, and human-review fallback.
6. Choose the model matrix. Record providers, models, temperature or sampling
   settings, retries, concurrency, cost limits, token limits, and whether judge
   and candidate models are separated.
7. Plan execution evidence. Define eval log retention, log viewer review,
   trace sampling, aggregate metrics, per-sample failure labels, and how to
   compare baseline and proposed runs.
8. Review risks. Flag dataset leakage, benchmark overfitting, flaky scoring,
   hidden provider changes, cost or rate-limit exposure, sensitive data in logs,
   and unsupported conclusions.
9. Produce the benchmark plan and decision criteria. Include what must be
   implemented, what must be manually reviewed, and what result is sufficient
   for approve, revise, rerun, or block.

Output contract:

- Evaluation brief: decision, target workflow, hypotheses, model matrix, budget
  limits, owner, and release impact.
- Inspect design: tasks, dataset schema, solvers, scorers, rubrics, limits,
  metadata, eval log plan, and reviewer workflow.
- Rubric calibration: positive examples, negative examples, borderline cases,
  partial-credit rules, judge-model prompt needs, and human-review fallback.
- Risk review: privacy exposure, provider routing, dataset leakage, overfitting,
  flaky scores, cost limits, and unsupported claims.
- Decision: build eval, revise dataset, revise rubric, run baseline, rerun,
  approve, block, or escalate.

## Features

- Inspect AI-specific benchmark design for tasks, datasets, solvers, scorers,
  model settings, eval logs, and log review.
- Rubric design checklist for LLM-as-a-judge, exact-match, human-reviewed, and
  hybrid scoring workflows.
- Dataset review for sample provenance, schema, licensing, privacy, holdouts,
  edge cases, and adversarial coverage.
- Model matrix planning for provider routing, candidate/judge separation,
  sampling settings, retries, concurrency, token limits, and cost limits.
- Failure taxonomy for per-sample triage, regression comparison, flaky scoring,
  prompt leakage, and unsupported conclusions.
- Release decision contract for approving, revising, rerunning, or blocking a
  prompt, model, benchmark, or agent change.

## Use Cases

- Turn an informal prompt-quality concern into an Inspect AI evaluation plan.
- Design a rubric for comparing prompt variants or model migrations.
- Review whether an eval dataset is safe, balanced, licensed, and resistant to
  overfitting.
- Calibrate an LLM-as-a-judge scorer before using it in CI or release review.
- Explain why a benchmark result is inconclusive and what evidence is missing.
- Summarize eval logs and failure categories for maintainers without exposing
  sensitive sample details.

## Source Notes

- Inspect AI is documented as a framework for large language model evaluations.
- Inspect docs include pages for evaluations, tasks, datasets, solvers, scorers,
  models, eval logs, and the log viewer. Those framework concepts are the basis
  for this agent prompt.
- The Inspect AI repository is `UKGovernmentBEIS/inspect_ai`, uses the `main`
  branch, and is MIT licensed.
- The official docs tree includes source pages for tasks, datasets, scorers,
  solvers, model configuration, eval logs, and log viewing.

## Duplicate Check

Before drafting this entry, the current upstream content tree and PR history
were checked for `Inspect AI`, `inspect_ai`, `inspect.aisi.org.uk`, AISI evals,
benchmark rubric design, prompt evaluation agents, prompt evaluation, LLM
evals, scorers, solvers, Promptfoo, DeepEval, Ragas, Braintrust, LangSmith,
MLflow, TruLens, and existing eval regression material.

Adjacent merged content exists for Promptfoo prompt testing, DeepEval Python
evaluation tests, Ragas RAG/LLM evaluation, Braintrust and LangSmith evaluation
platforms, MLflow evaluation workflows, and an agent evals regression gate
skill. This entry is distinct because it adds a single `agents` prompt
specifically for Inspect AI-backed benchmark and rubric design, with Inspect
tasks, datasets, solvers, scorers, model configuration, eval logs, and log
viewer evidence as the review anchors.

No existing content entry or open PR was found for an Inspect AI benchmark
