It's cool that there is more interest in eval tools! Some opportunities for improvement: 1. Right now, this workflow tries to quiz you up front about your recollection of your experience with a plugin. It would be better if it was more "in-situ", meaning you could give feedback on the plugins as you are using them. 2. It goes off and builds datasets and judges automatically based on what you tell it in up front as well as what's documented in the plugin. I would like to see it try to do error discovery with you first to allow you to annotate real traces / session history etc so you can figure… Quoting @ClaudeDevs New in Claude Code: claude plugin eval See what value your plugin is adding, or if it needs more work. You can create test cases, run your plugin or skill against those test cases, score those runs, then run each case again without the plugin to see the differences. Related

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
