write-code-eval

Write code evaluators for known failure modes with objective rules. Use when code can check the rule from a trace, with or without a reference answer. Use `write-judge-prompt` when the rule requires interpretation.

# Write a code evaluator

Start with a failure mode found through error analysis. Write one check for that failure mode, much like a unit test that asserts what should hold for each trace.

1. State the rule and identify the trace fields or reference data the check needs. If the rule requires interpretation, use `write-judge-prompt`.
2. Implement the check in the project's language and eval framework. Return a result and a reason in the format that framework expects.
3. Test known passes and failures, including borderline cases. Run the check on available traces and inspect mistakes. If the rule uses a proxy for human judgment, compare its results with human labels.

## Examples

| Failure mode | Possible check |
|---|---|
| Invalid output structure | Parse the output and check required fields |
| Missing or forbidden text | Match a string or pattern |
