Add a Product E2E Eval
Use this skill for Product E2E Evals: real Chromium, Paperclip server, database, runner, provider, and optionally Daytona. Everyday Workflows are in this family even when their packaged results are imported into Evalbook. Runner protocol cases against the mock control plane belong in add-runner-eval.
Locate the repository using PAPERCLIP_ROOT when supplied, or
git rev-parse --show-toplevel from a checkout. From outside Git, inspect
workspace roots such as ~/paperclipai/paperclip; verify the selected root
contains tests/runner-e2e and packages/paperclip-runner. Run commands from
that repository root. The copied skill may live outside the checkout.
Read doc/evals.md, then the authoritative
tests/runner-e2e/README.md, FIXTURES.md, SECURITY.md, and
EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md for the selected area. Inspect the nearest existing
catalog entry, case, harness flow, matcher, evidence writer, and report test
before changing anything. Keep the user journey on production browser/API
surfaces; do not add private runner hooks or direct fixture database writes.
Define one bounded workflow with a clear user outcome, durable state assertions, and independent evidence. Declare profile, environment, expected provider turns, timeout, cleanup, screenshots, artifact checks, and billing scope. Keep credentials and secrets out of catalog data, screenshots, fixture metadata, logs, and tracked files. Daytona images must be immutable digest references. Use the existing result validator, failure classifier, screenshot policy, and Product E2E report pipeline rather than duplicating them.
Register the workflow in tests/runner-e2e/catalog.ts and the relevant
fixture-registry.ts paths. Everyday cases and actions live in
everyday-cases.ts and everyday-flow.ts; match the existing suite's structure.
Wire its
profile/environment/case IDs through existing selector and matcher tables, and
add report/catalog coverage tests where the surrounding suite does so. Calibrate
new grading assertions with a valid outcome and a plausible wrong outcome;
missing evidence must not produce a pass. Confirm
discovery before running it:
shpnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite <suite-name> pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite everyday-workflows
--all intentionally excludes the manual everyday-workflows suite and other
explicit-only cells. Use the exact suite or execution ID for those. The Product
E2E generator is pnpm test:e2e:runner:report; an Everyday Workflows result may
also be imported into Evalbook with its canonical importer, but it remains a
Product E2E run and should use its packaged dashboard/report first.
Run credential-free checks first:
shpnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list
For an authorized live check, use the smallest explicit local --id selector.
Select Daytona only with the configured immutable image and credentials. A
full --all campaign is paid and is for the governed workflow. Verify results
from the packaged attempt evidence and dashboard; passing model-authored tests
cannot override the independent oracle.
Classify a completed wrong workflow as product or model/provider behavior as the assertions warrant. Startup, transport, and timeout symptoms require evidence-based attribution: they may indicate a Paperclip/Runner product bug, provider behavior, or infrastructure. Preserve the observed failure and cause separately, keep the existing machine grade/classifier unchanged, and retain partial attempts, retries, source SHA, catalog/definition digest, model/profile, environment, grader version, timing, tokens, runtime estimates, and cost coverage. Do not claim qualification from a partial/manual selection.
Update README.md, FIXTURES.md, SECURITY.md, or
EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md when their authoritative contract changes, and link
from doc/evals.md. Do not recreate Evalbook HTML or publish raw trusted
traces, videos, archives, databases, workspaces, credentials, SVG, provider
session IDs, or hidden reasoning. Public sanitized fixture conversation, marked
screenshots, and allowlisted structured evidence are expected when the existing
publisher permits them.
