Grader Comparison Harness Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Build a repeatable Inspect harness that runs several grader formats across several judge models on the same candidate answers, then use it for the phase-one study behind inspect_evals#2600.
Architecture: A replay task makes the judge the eval’s own model: the solver replays a stored candidate answer, and the scorer is label_agreement wrapped around the grader under test. Free-text graders apply six parsers to one reply. run.py runs one eval_set per (judge, grader) pair so spend can be checked as it goes. extract.py and analyse.py read the logs into results.csv, replies.csv, summary.md and contested.json, with rates averaged per case and intervals over cases. Dataset building, labelling and charts are separate modules.
Tech Stack: Python 3.12, inspect_ai 0.3.263 (the version in the repo’s lock), pydantic, pandas, PyYAML, httpx, python-dotenv, pytest with mockllm/model, matplotlib (charts only, via uv run --with matplotlib). OpenRouter for every real model call.
Spec: /Users/matt/Developer/inspect_ai/inspect_evals/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-12-grader-comparison-design.md (untracked, in the main checkout). Read it before starting.
Global Constraints
- Use
uvfor everything:uv run pytest,uv run python,uv run ruff,uv run mypy. Never barepython,pytestorpip. - Work in the worktree
/Users/matt/Developer/inspect_ai/inspect_evals/.worktrees/grader-comparisonon local branchgrader-comparison, created with--no-trackfromorigin/main. Never push. No PR, no changelog fragment. - Code lives in
tools/grader_comparison/, tests intests/tools/grader_comparison/. Imports are absolute (from tools.grader_comparison.parsers import ...); the repo’s ruff config bans relative imports (TID252). - Ruff uses the Google docstring convention; missing docstrings are allowed. Do not add
Args:sections unless every argument is documented. No magic-number comparisons (PLR2004) outside tests. - Datasets,
REVIEW.md, summaries, CSVs and charts go to/Users/matt/Developer/inspect_ai/audit-artefacts/grader_comparison/. Never commit them to inspect_evals. The hand-written seeds fileadversarial.yamlis the only data file in inspect_evals, and it contains no benchmark content. - Eval logs go to
/Users/matt/Developer/inspect_ai/inspect_evals/logs/grader_comparison/<run-name>/(gitignored, in the main checkout so they outlive the worktree). - Tests never call a real model. Use
mockllm/modelwithcustom_outputs. pytest loads.env, which holds a liveOPENROUTER_API_KEY, so an accidental real model id in a test would spend money. - Every real run passes
log_model_api=True(done insiderun.py). Without it Inspect drops the raw response, and with itusage.costandprovider, for all but the first few calls per model. - Judges (exact ids, vintage, reasoning):
openrouter/openai/gpt-3.5-turbo2023 no;openrouter/meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct2024 no;openrouter/openai/gpt-4o-mini2024 no;openrouter/openai/gpt-4.12025 no;openrouter/openai/gpt-5-mini2025 yes;openrouter/openai/gpt-oss-20b2025 yes;openrouter/z-ai/glm-5.32026 yes;openrouter/google/gemini-3.7-flash2026 yes;openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-5.52026 yes. - Panel (phase two only):
openrouter/openai/gpt-6-sol,openrouter/google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview,openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5. - Provisional grader for locally generated SimpleQA answers:
openrouter/openai/gpt-5.4. - Budget: the OpenRouter key has a $250 limit; the ceiling agreed with Matt is $300. Stop and ask Matt before any step whose projected spend would take total usage past $250.
- Markdown prose is never hard-wrapped.
- Commit messages end with the trailer

Review Focus
- Empty or reasoning-only replies. A reasoning model can put everything in a reasoning block and return empty visible text, or stop at
max_tokens. Expected: every parser exceptsubstringfails, the reply is non-compliant,substringsaysno(the baseline bug, kept on purpose), and the reply is flaggedtruncatedwhen the stop reason says so. Pinned in Task 2 (empty reply), Task 4 (reasoning-only output) and Task 7 (truncation flag). - CRLF and Markdown-decorated verdict lines. Judges write
**Correct:** Yes,> correct: no,1. correct: yes, and CRLF line endings. Expected: the anchored and strict parsers read them, and a negated label such asincorrect: yesis not read as a verdict. Pinned in Task 2. - A provider rejecting a mechanism. An old model refusing
response_formatraises inside the scorer. Expected: the run continues, the sample carries an error, and the analysis keeps it as a non-compliant reply with failure modesample_errorrather than dropping it. Pinned in Task 4 and Task 7. - Re-running after an interruption or a budget cut. Expected:
run.pyresumes into the same per-step log directories; each step that already ran keeps the epoch count it ran with, and a judge’s graders not yet run keep its reduced count instead of reverting to 3. Pinned in Task 6. - A dataset that changed after freezing. Expected:
run.pyrefuses to start when the file’s SHA-256 differs from the config, and writing a dataset with duplicate ids fails. Pinned in Task 1 and Task 6.

tools/grader_comparison/README.md:
# Grader comparison
Runs several grader formats across several judge models on the same candidate answers and reports format compliance, mechanism failures, parser behaviour, consistency and cost. Design: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-12-grader-comparison-design.md` in the main checkout.
The judge is the eval's own model. Each sample replays a stored candidate answer, and the scorer is the grader under test wrapped in `label_agreement`, which records each verdict and failure mode.
## Run
```bash
uv run python -m tools.grader_comparison.run --config tools/grader_comparison/configs/<name>.yaml
uv run python -m tools.grader_comparison.analyse logs/grader_comparison/<name> --out <artefacts-dir>
uv run --with matplotlib python -m tools.grader_comparison.charts <artefacts-dir>
```
`run.py` runs one eval set per (judge, grader) pair, so an interrupted run resumes where it stopped. It always logs raw model API calls, which the analysis needs for OpenRouter's billed `usage.cost` and serving `provider`.
## Graders
| Name | Format |
| --- | --- |
| `reason_then_verdict` | free text, final line `correct: yes` or `correct: no` |
| `verdict_only` | free text, one word |
| `verdict_then_reason` | free text, the verdict first, then one sentence |
| `tool_call` | `schema_tool_graded_scorer`, with the tool call forced |
| `structured_output` | the same schema as native structured output |
| `browse_comp_2233` | browse_comp's judge prompt and parser at #2233's head |
| `sycophancy_2283` | sycophancy's freeform judge prompt and parser at #2283's head |
Datasets and results are kept out of this repository.In tools/README.md, under ## Analysis, after the judge_calibration_diagnostics.py section, add:
### `grader_comparison/`
Runs several grader formats (free-text verdicts, tool calls, structured output, and the judge prompts from open PRs) across several judge models on the same replayed candidate answers, and reports format compliance, parser disagreement, consistency across epochs and billed cost.

EOFExpected: 225 replies; cost_usd and provider present on every reply without a sample error. If either is missing on most rows, Inspect’s OpenRouter ModelCall.response does not carry OpenRouter’s extra fields on this version: open one log in inspect view, find a scorer ModelEvent, and read what call.response holds. Stop and report to Matt with that evidence before going further.
For each judge, projected cost = mean billed cost per call × 6,000 (400 cases × 5 graders × 3 epochs) + mean billed cost per call × 1.5 × 2,400 (the two repo scorer rows; their template is longer). Write a table (judge, mean cost per call, mean output tokens, mean reasoning tokens, projected cost) and the total to $ART/runs/smoke/estimate.md.
Report to Matt: the table, the total against the $250 key limit, how provider rejections surfaced (sample errors per judge and grader from Step 4), and any judge whose reply shape looks broken. Do not start Task 11 until Matt agrees the estimate. If the total is above $250, propose which judges drop to one epoch or which slice shrinks.

Every run command sets INSPECT_COSTS_API_URL=https://llm-prices.generality.org/api/inspect-costs and sources .env from the main checkout.
configs/repo_scorers.yaml is the same except name: repo_scorers, its own log_dir, and:

- H1 and H2: supported, not supported or mixed, each citing the table cells (judge, grader, rate and interval) that decide it.
- Rule 1 (prefer structured graders): G3 and G4 compliance against G1, G2 and G5 by vintage, with the forced-tool-call caveat.
- Q1: the anchored and unanchored disagreement rates for G1, G2 and G5, and what they imply for #2598’s
positiondefault and for lint#57. - Retries: the at-least-one-in-two and in-three rates against one attempt, and whether bounded retries are worth mandating.
- Case: the case-mismatch rate by judge and grader, and the share of G3 failures that were case only. If that share is material, recommend that
schema_tool_graded_scorernormalise the grade before validating, as a separate inspect_evals change. - Repo scorer rows: for #2233, how often
verdict_foundwas false (the silent default tono) and how often the anchored pair disagreed; for #2283, how often the trailing fallback decided the verdict (compliantfalse but a verdict present). - Caveats: provisional labels are not used; Sonnet 5 shares a family with Opus 5.5; provider routing (cite the
providercolumn’s spread for llama-3.1-8b); temperature is each provider’s default. - Phase two: the count in
contested.jsonand the token sample size, with a recommendation on whether to run it.
Commit in audit-artefacts (git add grader_comparison/runs, same trailer). Then report the findings and the phase-two recommendation to Matt and wait for his decision before Task 14.
