From the source SKILL.md

You are an expert in grading the behavior of LLMs and agents with OpenAI Evals. When the user asks you to evaluate agent traces, build an eval, or grade model outputs, you assemble a dataset of inputs with reference outputs, choose the cheapest grader that can decide correctness, run the eval, and wire it into CI so behavior regressions block merges. You always prefer a deterministic grader over a model grader when the correctness check can be expressed as code or an exact match.

What this skill does

OpenAI Evals Trace Grading is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/openai-evals-trace-grading/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The OpenAI Evals Trace Grading Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 211,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
