First of three evaluators for skills that ship in the product but have no eval coverage: forecasting, what-if analysis, anomaly detection. Each is a separate PR; this one is forecasting.

Why now

Probed live against micdiagnose-dev: the skill is enabled and reachable — the agent answers a forecast question by activating set_skills(["search", "forecasting", "visualization"]). Nothing evaluates it.

This one can check correctness, not just completion

kda_skill is deliberately scoped to "the process ran to completion". Forecasting does not have to be, because the skill refuses to execute unless the visualization carries an AAC forecast config — and that config is exactly where the user's request lands:

Config field Carries
forecast_enabled must be true, or execute_forecast returns an error
forecast_period the horizon — "next 3 months" is 3
forecast_confidence confidence level
forecast_seasonal whether seasonality is modelled

So "did it forecast the right horizon" is a number in the tool call the agent made. No judge, no paraphrase tolerance. The measure forecast is checked the same way, off the visualization's own fields.

A fixture pins whatever it cares about:

{"metric": "metric/spend", "forecast_period": 3}

Two details worth review

An unstated expectation passes rather than fails — but detail["asserted"] records which checks the fixture actually pinned. Without that, a run that verified nothing is indistinguishable in the report from one where everything matched.

forecast_enabled must be explicitly true. The tool treats unset and false the same way, so the check does too — an agent that builds the right chart but never enables forecasting has not done the job.

The loop

Follows kda_skill. The agent routinely asks which measure to forecast before building anything — observed live: "your data has two different Spend metrics that could mean different things." A simulated user answers from the fixture's own hints, and only hints the fixture supplies reach the prompt, so an absent one is dropped rather than asserted as a literal None.

Not included, on purpose

LoopExit / exit_reason — it lands with #1789, still open. This should gain it once that merges, rather than duplicating the enum here.

Tests

21, including: extraction pairing an execute with the visualization it followed (not the last of each independently), a bare-URI field in raw tool-call arguments, the wrong horizon failing on period alone, an unstated expectation neither failing nor silently passing, a chat error keeping what its partial_result carried, and a chat error on a later run not discarding the earlier one.

801 passed, lint and format clean.

Merge note

The two other PRs in this set touch the same three files — cli/agentic_runner.py plus the _ALL_AGENTIC_KIND_CASES and _EVALUATE_FUNCS staleness guards. Whichever merges first, the others need a trivial rebase on those lists.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for agentic forecasting evaluations.
    • Forecasting runs can verify forecast activation, period selection, and metric accuracy across multiple attempts.
    • Added pass-rate summaries and detailed diagnostics for forecasting evaluation results.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for forecasting behavior, evaluation scoring, dispatching, and trace reporting.

The forecasting skill is enabled on the eval org and reachable today (confirmed
live: set_skills activates "forecasting"), but nothing evaluates it.

Unlike kda_skill this is not limited to "the process ran". The skill refuses to
execute unless the visualization carries an AAC forecast config, and that config
is exactly where the user's request lands:

  config.forecast_enabled     must be true or execute_forecast errors
  config.forecast_period      "next 3 months" is 3
  config.forecast_confidence  confidence level
  config.forecast_seasonal    whether seasonality is modelled

So a fixture states what it asked for and it is checked exactly, off the numbers
in the tool call the agent made -- no judge and no paraphrase tolerance. The
measure forecast is checked the same way, from the visualization's own fields.

expected_output pins whatever it wants:

  {"metric": "metric/spend", "forecast_period": 3}

An unstated expectation passes rather than fails, and detail["asserted"] records
which checks the fixture actually pinned -- otherwise a run that verified nothing
reads identically to one where everything matched.

The loop follows kda_skill: the agent routinely asks which measure to forecast
before building anything (observed live: "your data has two different Spend
metrics"), so a simulated user answers from the fixture's own hints, and only
hints the fixture supplies reach the prompt.

LoopExit is deliberately not used -- it lands with #1789, which is still open.
This should gain exit_reason once that merges.

21 tests. 801 passed, lint and format clean.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the agentic_forecasting evaluation kind. The evaluator runs forecasting conversations, scores forecast configuration and metrics, aggregates K runs, reports failures, submits trace scores, and exposes the evaluator through CLI dispatch.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1d9d7

The new forecasting evaluator can incorrectly pass mismatched configurations, reject valid multi-turn forecasts, and report checks that fixtures did not request. These issues should be resolved before enabling the evaluator.

handling to validate forecast_confidence and forecast_seasonal with exact
expected-versus-actual comparisons, including strict_pass, asserted fields,
_detail output, and trace scoring. Ensure fixtures specifying either value fail
when the received configuration differs, and update regression tests to cover
matching and mismatching confidence and seasonality expectations.

visualization and execute_forecast calls across conversation turns.
- Around line 474-475: Update the score payload around the forecast evaluation
fields so forecast_period_correct and forecast_metric_correct are included only
when their respective names are present in ev.asserted; do not submit unasserted
checks even when their internal values are True, while preserving the existing

Three findings, all real.

Tool calls were extracted from the current turn only. The agent may build the
chart on one turn and call execute_forecast on the next -- the common path, since
it routinely asks which measure to forecast first -- and reading a single turn
dropped the visualization the forecast actually ran on, failing a correct run for
an empty config. Extraction now reads every turn accumulated so far. kda_skill
does not have this bug only because its create and execute always land in the
same turn.

forecast_confidence and forecast_seasonal were described as checkable and never
checked, so a fixture could pin either, receive something else, and pass. Both
are now scored, with an absent forecast_seasonal counting as the tool's own
default of false rather than as a mismatch.

Unasserted content checks were published to Langfuse as BOOLEAN 1. They are True
internally so they cannot fail a run, but reporting that as a score claims the
evaluator verified something it never looked at. Only checks named in
ev.asserted are now scored.

5 tests added; the cross-turn one verified to fail against the previous version.
808 passed, lint and format clean.

Two of the three findings on #1798 are structural and apply here unchanged.

Tool calls were extracted from the current turn only. The agent may build the
scenario spec on one turn and execute it on the next -- the common path, since it
asks which measure to adjust first -- and reading a single turn dropped the
scenario the execution actually ran, failing a correct run for having no
adjustments. Extraction now reads every turn accumulated so far.

Unasserted content checks were published to Langfuse as BOOLEAN 1. They are True
internally so they cannot fail a run, but reporting that as a score claims the
evaluator verified something it never looked at. Only checks named in ev.asserted
are now scored.

The third finding (unchecked confidence/seasonality) was forecasting-specific.

1 test added, verified to fail against the previous version. 803 passed, lint and

…detection

Two of the three findings on #1798 are structural and apply here unchanged.

Tool calls were extracted from the current turn only. The agent may build the
chart on one turn and detect on the next, and reading a single turn dropped the
series the detection actually ran on, failing a correct run for having no metric
or granularity. Extraction now reads every turn accumulated so far.

Unasserted content checks were published to Langfuse as BOOLEAN 1. They are True
internally so they cannot fail a run, but reporting that as a score claims the
evaluator verified something it never looked at. Only checks named in ev.asserted

All three findings fixed in 59958ce0 (+ 273b8428 for a PERF403 follow-up). All three were real, and two of them applied to the sibling PRs too — fixed there as well, #1799 in ab988606 and #1801 in bed8974d.

Tool calls extracted from the current turn only — the worst of the three, and it would have bitten the common path. The agent routinely asks which measure to forecast before building anything, so the chart lands on turn 2 and execute_forecast on turn 3; reading only the current turn dropped the visualization the forecast actually ran on, and the evaluator then failed a correct run for an empty config. Extraction now reads every turn accumulated so far.

Worth noting why kda_skill doesn't have this bug despite the identical structure: its create and execute always land in the same turn ("NO confirmation needed" in the skill's own prompt), so a single-turn read is sufficient there. I copied the shape without re-checking that assumption held for a skill that does ask questions first.

forecast_confidence and forecast_seasonal unchecked — correct, and it's the same failure as the unwired max_widgets you caught on #1797: I described them as checkable in the module docstring and the PR body, then never implemented them. Both are now scored. One detail: an absent forecast_seasonal counts as the tool's own default of false rather than a mismatch, so an agent that leaves the default alone isn't penalised.

Unasserted checks scored as BOOLEAN 1 — right, and the reasoning is exactly as you put it. The internal True exists so an unstated expectation can't fail a run; publishing it as a score claims the evaluator verified something it never looked at. Only checks named in ev.asserted are scored now, on all three PRs.

5 tests added here (2 for confidence/seasonality, 1 for the tool default, 1 for the unasserted case, 1 for cross-turn extraction), 1 each on the siblings. The cross-turn test was verified to fail against the previous version on all three.

806 passed, lint and format clean.

Third structural finding from #1799's review, applied here.

latency_sec used run.turn_wall_clock_sec, which is the goal turn alone and
excludes the clarification turns that got there -- understating the item's real
elapsed cost on exactly the runs where it matters. It now prefers pt.latency and
falls back to the goal turn, which is what 7 of the 8 existing kinds already do;
kda_skill is the outlier and documents its own reason, and this copied it without
re-checking.

cost_usd was gated on ev.triggered, so a run that answered without ever reaching
the tool reported no cost despite having spent tokens. The gate is gone.

806 passed, lint and format clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ev.asserted gating and the latency/cost change made in response to review
were behavioural fixes shipped with no test. Covered now by capturing the
deferred callable and running it against a fake context: only pinned checks are
scored, every pinned check is scored, and cost is reported even when the tool
was never reached.

79% -> 93% on the module. What remains is the clarification prompt builder and
the OpenAI call, both exercised through the loop tests via their patch points.

809 passed, lint and format clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Merges master, which added a guard requiring every kind to hand the scored
item's question to the linker -- a score is otherwise readable only by resolving
its conversation back to the item. This kind predates the guard and did not.

946 passed, lint and format clean.
