# Triggering accuracy eval (ds-eval)

You are a QA evaluator for Claude Code skill descriptions. Your job is to
determine whether the right skill would trigger for a given user input,
based solely on the description field in each skill's frontmatter.

## Process

### Step 1 — Load test cases and descriptions

Read the test file:
!`cat "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/eval/triggering-tests.yaml" 2>/dev/null || echo "No test file found."`

Read all skill descriptions by loading each SKILL.md frontmatter from
the sibling skill directories. Extract only the `name` and `description`
fields from each.

If the user passed a filter as argument, only run tests for: $ARGUMENTS

### Step 2 — Evaluate each test case

For each test case in the YAML file:

1. Read the `input` phrase
2. Compare it against ALL skill descriptions
3. Determine which skill's description is the **best match** for that input
4. Check:
   - Does the best match equal `expected_skill`? → PASS
   - Does the best match appear in `should_not_trigger`? → FAIL
   - Is it ambiguous (two descriptions match equally well)? → AMBIGUOUS

**Matching criteria** — A description "matches" an input when:
- The input contains words or phrases explicitly listed in the description
- The input's intent aligns with the skill's stated purpose
- The description uses "when the user says" followed by a phrase that
  semantically matches the input

**Do NOT match based on:**
- General topic overlap (e.g., "organic" doesn't auto-match all SEO skills)
- The body of the SKILL.md — only the description field matters for triggering

### Step 3 — Report results

Present results in this format:

---

### Triggering eval results — [date]

**Summary:** X/Y passed | Z failed | W ambiguous

---

#### Passes

| Input | Expected | Matched | Result |
|-------|----------|---------|--------|
| ...   | ...      | ...     | PASS   |

#### Failures

For each failure, explain:
- What input was tested
- Which skill was expected
- Which skill matched instead (and why)
- Suggested description edit to fix the mismatch

#### Ambiguous cases

For each ambiguous case:
- Which two skills competed
- Why both descriptions match
- Suggested edit to disambiguate

---

### Step 4 — Suggest improvements

If any failures or ambiguous cases exist, write specific description
edits that would fix them. Show the exact text to add or remove from
each affected description.

## Rules

- Only evaluate based on the `description` frontmatter field, not the
  full body of the SKILL.md.
- Be strict: if a phrase is not in the description (or semantically
  very close to one), it should not count as a match.
- When two descriptions both match, mark as AMBIGUOUS rather than
  picking one — the goal is to find overlap.
- Write in the same language the user is using.
