Agent skill

evals-context

Provides context about the Roo Code evals system structure in this monorepo. Use when tasks mention "evals", "evaluation", "eval runs", "eval exercises", or working with the evals infrastructure. Helps distinguish between the evals execution system (packages/evals, apps/web-evals) and the public website evals display page (apps/web-roo-code/src/app/evals).

Evals Codebase Context

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the task involves:

  • Modifying or debugging the evals execution infrastructure
  • Adding new eval exercises or languages
  • Working with the evals web interface (apps/web-evals)
  • Modifying the public evals display page on roocode.com
  • Understanding where evals code lives in this monorepo

When NOT to Use This Skill

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • Working on unrelated parts of the codebase (extension, webview-ui, etc.)
  • The task is purely about the VS Code extension's core functionality
  • Working on the main website pages that don't involve evals

Key Disambiguation: Two "Evals" Locations

This monorepo has two distinct evals-related locations that can cause confusion:

Component Path Purpose
Evals Execution System packages/evals/ Core eval infrastructure: CLI, DB schema, Docker configs
Evals Management UI apps/web-evals/ Next.js app for creating/monitoring eval runs (localhost:3446)
Website Evals Page apps/web-roo-code/src/app/evals/ Public roocode.com page displaying eval results
External Exercises Repo Roo-Code-Evals Actual coding exercises (NOT in this monorepo)

Architecture Overview

The evals system is a distributed evaluation platform that runs AI coding tasks in isolated VS Code environments:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Web App (apps/web-evals)  ──────────────────────────────── │
│        │                                                    │
│        ▼                                                    │
│  PostgreSQL ◄────► Controller Container                     │
│        │               │                                    │
│        ▼               ▼                                    │
│     Redis ◄───► Runner Containers (1-25 parallel)           │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Key components:

  • Controller: Orchestrates eval runs, spawns runners, manages task queue (p-queue)
  • Runner: Isolated Docker container with VS Code + Roo Code extension + language runtimes
  • Redis: Pub/sub for real-time events (NOT task queuing)
  • PostgreSQL: Stores runs, tasks, metrics

Common Tasks Quick Reference

Adding a New Eval Exercise

  1. Add exercise to Roo-Code-Evals repo (external)
  2. See packages/evals/ADDING-EVALS.md for structure

Modifying Eval CLI Behavior

Edit files in packages/evals/src/cli/:

  • runEvals.ts - Run orchestration
  • runTask.ts - Task execution
  • runUnitTest.ts - Test validation

Modifying the Evals Web Interface

Edit files in apps/web-evals/src/:

  • app/runs/new/new-run.tsx - New run form
  • actions/runs.ts - Run server actions

Modifying the Public Evals Display Page

Edit files in apps/web-roo-code/src/app/evals/:

  • evals.tsx - Display component
  • plot.tsx - Charts

Database Schema Changes

  1. Edit packages/evals/src/db/schema.ts
  2. Generate migration: cd packages/evals && pnpm drizzle-kit generate
  3. Apply migration: pnpm drizzle-kit migrate

Running Evals Locally

bash
# From repo root
pnpm evals

# Opens web UI at http://localhost:3446

Ports (defaults):

  • PostgreSQL: 5433
  • Redis: 6380
  • Web: 3446

Testing

bash
# packages/evals tests
cd packages/evals && npx vitest run

# apps/web-evals tests
cd apps/web-evals && npx vitest run

Key Types/Exports from @roo-code/evals

The package exports are defined in packages/evals/src/index.ts:

  • Database queries: getRuns, getTasks, getTaskMetrics, etc.
  • Schema types: Run, Task, TaskMetrics
  • Used by both apps/web-evals and apps/web-roo-code
