Skills let your coding agent do the ZeroEval setup work for you. Instead of flipping between docs and your editor, you tell your agent “install zeroeval” or “create a judge” and the skill handles the rest in-context. The source lives at zeroeval/zeroeval-skills on GitHub. They work with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and 30+ other agents that support the skills format.

Available skills

zeroeval-install

Installs the SDK (Python or TypeScript), verifies your first trace, migrates prompts to ze.prompt, and recommends starter judges.

create-judge

Helps you pick an evaluation type (binary or scored), write a judge template, define criteria, and create the judge via dashboard or API.

The zeroeval-skills GitHub repo has the latest skill content and deeper reference playbooks. This page covers discovery and install only.

After installation

Once installed, your coding agent picks up the skills automatically. Ask it to “set up zeroeval” or “create a judge” and it will use them. If you want to read the product docs directly:
