Anthropic has introduced a dedicated CLI evaluation framework within its Claude Code documentation to test and benchmark custom skills and plugins. The tool allows developers to define test suites that systematically assess tool-call precision, context ingestion, and error recovery in agentic workflows. As modular coding agents expand their capabilities, the release helps transition plugin authoring from ad-hoc prompting into a measurable software engineering process.
