Eval Harness

Scaffolds a standalone TypeScript evaluation framework for testing LLM outputs. Loads eval suites from YAML files, runs each case against an LLM provider, applies composable assertions (string matching, regex, JSON schema, token limits, custom predicates), and reports results to the console or as structured JSON. Works with any LLM system: a bedrock provider calls Bedrock under the IAM role the run assumes, and a gateway provider calls the Platform ModelGateway from inside the cluster.

Render it

Three front doors, one catalog. Pick whichever suits the caller.

# CLI
npx @nanohype/sdk render eval-harness --out ./my-app

# SDK
import { LocalSource, renderTemplate } from "@nanohype/sdk";
const result = await renderTemplate(source, "eval-harness", variables);

# MCP — from an agent
get_template({ name: "eval-harness" })

Prerequisites

ToolVersionWhy
node>=26Node.js runtime for TypeScript execution

Variables

Required

ProjectName string
Kebab-case project name, used in package.json and directory Must be lowercase kebab-case starting with a letter.

Optional

Description string — defaults to LLM evaluation harness
Short project description for package.json and README
LlmProvider string — defaults to bedrock
Default LLM provider name: bedrock for a run on a CI runner or a workstation, under an IAM role the run assumes (GitHub OIDC federation on a runner, an AWS profile on a workstation); gateway for a run inside the cluster, through the Platform ModelGateway with no credential; or any custom registered provider
PlatformName string — defaults to ${ProjectName}
Name of the Platform CR whose ModelGateway routes a run inside the cluster grades. The gateway provider defaults MODEL_GATEWAY_ENDPOINT to the Service the eks-agent-platform operator creates for it, <PlatformName>-gateway in namespace tenants-<PlatformName>
IncludeCi bool — defaults to true
Include GitHub Actions CI workflow for automated eval runs

What it produces

33 files. Placeholder names such as __APP_NAME__ are what the renderer substitutes into.
