Anthropic's Claude Code adds plugin evaluation tool

Anthropic has introduced a new evaluation tool for its Claude Code platform, named `claude plugin eval`. This command-line interface allows developers to measure the actual impact of their plugins or skills by comparing performance with and without the plugin loaded. The tool reports the delta (Δ) in performance, encouraging developers to merge skills only when they demonstrably improve outcomes, rather than relying on subjective assessments. AI

IMPACT This tool provides developers with a concrete method to measure the value of AI plugins, potentially improving the quality and reliability of AI-powered applications.
