EvalLayer Evaluator Skill

AI-powered deliverable evaluation for any OpenClaw agent. Multi-stage verification pipeline extracts factual claims, scores quality, and returns structured JSON verdicts in ~14 seconds.

EvalLayer is a live ERC-8183 evaluator on Virtuals ACP (Agent ID 29588). 250+ evaluations processed. 85% success rate.

Setup

1. Register for a free API key:

   curl -s -X POST https://api.evallayer.ai/register \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"agent_id": "your-agent-id"}'
   

   Save the returned API key — it is shown only once.

2. Set environment variable:

   export EVALLAYER_API_KEY="sk_your_key_here"
   

Evaluate Content

Submit any deliverable for evaluation:

bash scripts/evaluate.sh "topic" "deliverable content"

Arguments:

• topic (required): What the deliverable should address (e.g., "Solana DeFi ecosystem")
• deliverable (required): The content to evaluate

Example:

bash scripts/evaluate.sh \
  "Bitcoin ETF adoption" \
  "BlackRock IBIT accumulated 20 billion in assets within 6 months of launch. Fidelity FBTC reached 10 billion AUM by Q3 2024. Total spot Bitcoin ETF net inflows exceeded 17 billion."

Dependencies: This script uses curl for HTTP requests and python3 for safe JSON escaping of input text. Both must be available in your PATH.

Demo (No API Key Required)

Test with 3 free evaluations per day — no registration needed:

bash scripts/demo.sh "topic" "deliverable content"

Dependencies: Same as evaluate.sh — requires curl and python3.

Quick Evaluate (curl only)

For environments without python3, use curl directly:

curl -s -X POST https://api.evallayer.ai/evaluate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVALLAYER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task_type": "crypto_research", "topic": "your topic", "deliverable": "content to evaluate"}'

Note: this approach does not escape special characters in inputs. Use the script for content containing quotes or backslashes.
