What it does

Exploring LLM Evaluations is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Investigate AI observability evaluations — hog (deterministic code-based), llmjudge (LLM-prompt-based), and sentiment (user-message sentiment). Find existing evaluations, inspect their configuration, run them against specific generations, query individual results, and set up scheduled reports on an evaluation. Use when the user asks to debug why an evaluation is failing, surface common failure modes, compare results across filters, dry-run a Hog evaluator, prototype a new LLM-judge prompt, inspect sentiment…

Its SKILL.md is about 5.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM evaluation and Observability. It works with PostHog. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to debug why an evaluation is failing
  • Surface common failure modes
  • Compare results across filters
  • Dry-run a Hog evaluator

Example prompts

  • “/exploring-llm-evaluations”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Find the evaluation
  2. Break down pass, fail, and N/A
  3. Read the failing runs
  4. Drill into example failing runs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10f9ad7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json and sql).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Exploring LLM Evaluations loads about 5.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,126 words (~5,718 tokens).

“For stored offline experiment comparisons, scorer history, or externally computed result uploads, use analyzing-offline-evaluations. Offline experiments use pinned scorer configurations and separate result APIs from the online evaluations below.”
