bootstrap
Use when the user has nothing — no traces, no labels, no eval set — and needs to build a v0 evaluation from scratch. Also use when the user says "I need to start evaluating my app but don't know where to begin," "I want to set up eval for a new product," or has just identified failure modes and needs to turn them into principles. Outputs a v0 grader in 30 minutes using OpenJudge SimpleRubricsGenerator, plus a roadmap to reach calibrated evaluation.
npx skills add agentscope-ai/OpenJudge --skill 08-bootstrap --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<HARD-GATE> NO v0 grader deployed WITHOUT explicitly marking it as uncalibrated. NO synthetic labels — LLM can generate eval inputs, but labels MUST come from real system output + human judgment. NO principle without a source label documenting where it came from. </HARD-GATE> # Bootstrap Cold-start an evaluation system when you have nothing. In 30 minutes you get a working v0 grader and a clear path to a calibrated, trustworthy evaluation. > **Requires OpenJudge** (`pip install py-openjudge`) for the grader generators > (`SimpleRubricsGenerator` / `IterativeRubricsGenerator`). The interview, stratification, > and calibration-roadmap methodology is SDK-independent. ## Checklist You MUST create a task for each item and complete them in order: 1. **Understand the product** — one-shot interview, not question-by-question 2. **Generate v0 grader** — use OpenJudge SimpleRubricsGenerator 3. **Synthesize eval inputs** — 30 inputs with 60/30/10 stratification 4. **Run v0 evaluation** — GradingRunner with the generated grader 5. **Output roadmap** — exactly how to reach 50 labels → calibrate ## Step 1: Product Interview (One Shot) Ask the user to describe their system in one go: ``` To bootst

What does the bootstrap skill do?
Use when the user has nothing — no traces, no labels, no eval set — and needs to build a v0 evaluation from scratch. Also use when the user says "I need to start evaluating my app but don't know where to begin," "I want to set up eval for a new product," or has just identified failure modes and needs to turn them into principles. Outputs a v0 grader in 30 minutes using OpenJudge SimpleRubricsGenerator, plus a roadmap to reach calibrated evaluation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add agentscope-ai/OpenJudge --skill 08-bootstrap --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From agentscope-ai/OpenJudge, a repository with 764 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
