Evals
Definition
Small, fast test sets that measure whether an agent or model change made behavior better or worse.
Why It Matters for Agents
Evals turn "the agent feels worse" into a CI failure. They are the only reliable gate for increasing agent autonomy.

Agent-Ready Context
Keep evals fast (<30s) and behavior-anchored so they survive model swaps. Wire into CI; fail builds on regression. Start from your 5 most common failure cases.
