What it does

Active Swe Eval is an agent skill from XLearning-SCU/Active-SWE. Prepare and run the complete local Docker evaluation for Active-SWE. Claude Code is the fixed executor for Recorded, Potential, and Judge.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `ENVIRONMENT.md`, `EVALUATION.md` and `bin/bootstrap_active_swe.py`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker. The repository describes itself as: Pytorch Implementation of Active-SWE: Benchmarking Coding Agents for Proactive Bug Fixing without Issue Reports. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Containers

Example prompts

  • “/active-swe-eval”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. .claude/skills/active-swe-eval/ENVIRONMENT.md: Docker, Claude Code,
  2. .claude/skills/active-swe-eval/EVALUATION.md: Recorded, Potential, Judge,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25ecfa5. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • python

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • huggingface.co

    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

Active Swe Eval loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 698 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

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.

Active-SWE Evaluation With Claude Code

Use this skill to prepare an Active-SWE project checkout and evaluate one or more models. Claude Code is both the outer orchestrator and the fixed executor inside every task container.

Locate the project

First look for an existing project root containing both pyproject.toml and the active_swe/ package. Reuse it without pulling, resetting, or replacing local files. If no checkout exists, clone into a new relative workspace and enter it:

bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/XLearning-SCU/Active-SWE.git Active-SWE
cd Active-SWE

Do not clone over a non-empty path. If Git or repository access is unavailable, stop and ask the user for an existing checkout. After locating or cloning the project, open .claude/skills/active-swe-eval/SKILL.md from that checkout and use the local copy as the authority for all remaining steps; do not continue from an older remote or cached copy. Then read these local files in order:

  1. .claude/skills/active-swe-eval/ENVIRONMENT.md: Docker, Claude Code, dataset, images, model setup, and network boundaries.
  2. .claude/skills/active-swe-eval/EVALUATION.md: Recorded, Potential, Judge, and the six paper metrics.

Public Sources

text
Source code: https://github.com/XLearning-SCU/Active-SWE
Dataset:     https://huggingface.co/datasets/XLearning-SCU/Active-SWE

When this skill is installed separately from the repository, its optional bin/bootstrap_active_swe.py performs the same checkout check and clone. Runtime tools belong under ./.tools, and run artifacts belong under ./runs; neither is part of a source package.

Required User Configuration

Check config/evaluation.json. If absent, copy config/evaluation.example.json plus config/.env.example, then request the missing values. One task file contains a non-empty evaluation_models list, exactly one judge_model, plus input, output, and host-side execution settings. Keep multiple evaluation tasks as separate JSON files and select one with --config. Never overwrite an existing file silently. Put only credential variable names in task files. Check config/.env; if a required variable is absent from both that file and the host environment, ask the user to populate it without sending the value in chat. Keep config/.env at permission 0600. If the user already identifies a task JSON and dotenv file, use them directly with --config and --env-file; do not ask for the same settings again.

text
id:           stable, unique run/output identifier
input:        project-relative data path and row limit
output:       project-relative output root
execution:    host-side image-pull concurrency
model:        Anthropic-compatible model name
base_url:     fixed model API destination
credential:   API-key environment variable or local key file; otherwise prompt
concurrency:  optional per-model task concurrency; default 4

Run evaluation models sequentially. Recorded and Potential use the current evaluation model; every evaluation model uses the same selected Judge. Defaults are per-model concurrency 4, maximum 300 turns, and 5,400 seconds per task. When the user requests a subset, keep the shared config and pass one --only-model ID per selected model. Do not edit away unselected entries. Keep API-key values in project-local config/.env, host environment variables, user-owned local key files, or hidden terminal input. The controller loads config/.env automatically, while existing host variables take precedence. Hidden input is only for a user launching the controller directly in an interactive terminal. Never put key values directly in chat, models.json, a skill command line, dataset, output, log, or generated result file.

Workflow

  1. Locate or bootstrap the project checkout.
  2. Check standard local Docker and Claude Code. Install project-local tools under ./.tools when needed.
  3. Copy or check the tracked task example, update config/evaluation.json, then verify that config/.env or the host environment supplies each referenced credential variable without reading it back to the conversation.
  4. Download the requested public dataset configuration to data/Active-SWE.parquet, convert it to data/Active-SWE.jsonl, copy the exact run input below <output.root>/<id>/<timestamp>/inputs/, validate it, and pull exactly the referenced images. Review the image preflight report before starting stages. The task's input.limit controls the default scope; pass --limit N only for an intentional one-run override.
  5. Run each evaluation model through Recorded and Potential, use the selected fixed judge for Judge, then compute that evaluation model's metrics.
  6. Report artifact locations, stage outcome counts, and computed metrics relative to the run root, without exposing host paths, credentials, or endpoint details. Treat controller ok as pipeline completion, not proof that every sample generated all expected artifacts.

Use the controller unless the user explicitly requests stage-level debugging:

bash
python -m active_swe.run_evaluation \
  --config config/evaluation.json

Isolation

Recorded and Potential containers always use Docker --network none. Model traffic reaches only the configured fixed destination through the bundled byte-transparent API tunnel. WebSearch, WebFetch, general network clients, and Git history or network operations fail closed. The controller manages the tunnel and must not print or persist its destination or payloads.

Judge is outside the Recorded/Potential isolation boundary. It retains the existing host-network behavior and evaluates the image worktree without the generation command policy. Never use Judge networking as a fallback for Recorded or Potential.
