About This Skill
What it does
This skill, eval-boundary-adherence, evaluates an AI agent's ability to respect specified boundaries and constraints. It assesses whether the agent stays within defined limits regarding topic, tone, or output format. The evaluation focuses on adherence to these pre-set rules rather than the quality of content itself.
When to use it
- Testing Agent Safety: Ensure an AI assistant doesn't generate harmful or inappropriate responses by setting boundaries around sensitive topics.
- Enforcing Output Format: Verify that a chatbot consistently delivers information in a specific format (e.g., bullet points, JSON).
- Topic Restriction: Confirm the agent remains focused on a particular subject area and avoids irrelevant tangents.
- Tone Consistency: Evaluate if an AI maintains a desired tone (e.g., professional, friendly) across interactions.
Key capabilities
- Boundary Adherence Evaluation
- Constraint Respect Assessment
- Topic Limit Enforcement
- Output Format Validation
Example prompts
- "Evaluate this conversation for adherence to the boundary: 'Do not discuss political topics.'"
- "Assess if the agent's response follows the constraint: 'Respond in JSON format with keys 'summary' and 'keywords'."
- "Check if the AI stayed within the topic of 'historical fashion' during this interaction."
Tips & gotchas
This skill evaluates adherence, not quality. A perfectly compliant but unhelpful answer will still receive a high score. Clear, specific boundary definitions are crucial for accurate evaluation.
