Need help deploying harness:health?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/raphaelchristi-harness-health
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

# /harness:health
Check eval dataset quality and auto-correct issues. Can be run independently or is invoked by `/harness:evolve` before the iteration loop.
## Prerequisites
`.evolver.json` must exist. If not, tell user to run `/harness:setup`.
## Resolve Tool Path and Python
```bash
TOOLS="${EVOLVER_TOOLS:-$([ -d ".evolver/tools" ] && echo ".evolver/tools" || echo "$HOME/.evolver/tools")}"
EVOLVER_PY="${EVOLVER_PY:-$([ -f "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" ] && echo "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" || echo "python3")}"
```
## 1. Run Health Diagnostic
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/dataset_health.py \
--config .evolver.json \
--production-seed production_seed.json \
--output health_report.json 2>/dev/null
```
Print summary:
```bash
python3 -c "
import json, os
if os.path.exists('health_report.json'):
r = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
print(f'Dataset Health: {r[\"health_score\"]}/10 ({r[\"example_count\"]} examples)')
for issue in r.get('issues', []):
print(f' [{issue[\"severity\"]}] {issue[\"message\"]}')
if not r.get('issues'):
print(' No issues found.')
"
```
## 2. Auto-Correct Issues
If `health_report.json` has corrections, apply them automatically:
```bash
CORRECTIONS=$(python3 -c "
import json, os
if os.path.exists('health_report.json'):
r = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
for c in r.get('corrections', []):
print(c['action'])
" 2>/dev/null)
```
For each correction:
**If `create_splits`**: Assign 70/30 train/held_out splits:
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY -c "
from langsmith import Client
import json, random
client = Client()
config = json.load(open('.evolver.json'))
examples = list(client.list_examples(dataset_name=config['dataset']))
random.shuffle(examples)
sp = int(len(examples) * 0.7)
for ex in examples[:sp]:
client.update_example(ex.id, split='train')
for ex in examples[sp:]:
client.update_example(ex.id, split='held_out')
print(f'Assigned splits: {sp} train, {len(examples)-sp} held_out')
"
```
**If `generate_hard`**: Spawn testgen agent to generate hard examples:
```
Agent(
subagent_type: "harness-testgen",
description: "Generate hard examples to rebalance dataset",
prompt: "The dataset is skewed toward easy examples. Generate {count} HARD examples that the current agent is likely to fail on. Focus on edge cases, adversarial inputs, and complex multi-step queries. Read .evolver.json and production_seed.json for context."
)
```
**If `fill_coverage`**: Spawn testgen agent for missing categories:
```
Agent(
subagent_type: "harness-testgen",
description: "Generate examples for missing categories",
prompt: "The dataset is missing these production categories: {categories}. Generate 5 examples per missing category. Read .evolver.json and production_seed.json for context."
)
```
**If `retire_dead`**: Move dead examples to retired split:
```bash
$EVOLVER_PY -c "
from langsmith import Client
import json
client = Client()
report = json.load(open('health_report.json'))
dead_ids = report.get('dead_examples', {}).get('ids', [])
config = json.load(open('.evolver.json'))
examples = {str(e.id): e for e in client.list_examples(dataset_name=config['dataset'])}
retired = 0
for eid in dead_ids:
if eid in examples:
client.update_example(examples[eid].id, split='retired')
retired += 1
print(f'Retired {retired} dead examples')
"
```
After corrections, log what was done.
## 3. Report
Print final health status. If critical issues remain that couldn't be auto-corrected, warn the user.From raphaelchristi/harness-evolver, MIT.
