evalflow 0.1.7

> evalflow

pytest for LLMs

You changed one prompt.
Summarization improved.
Classification silently broke.
Nobody noticed for 4 days.

evalflow catches this in CI before it ships.

Install

pip install evalflow

Quick Start

evalflow init
evalflow eval

What you get on day one:

• local prompt and dataset files
• SQLite-backed run history in .evalflow/
• CI-friendly exit codes
• offline cache support for repeatable checks

Why evalflow

Traditional unit tests do not tell you when a prompt tweak quietly degrades a task. evalflow gives you a small local quality gate for prompt, model, and dataset changes.

Use it when you need to:

• catch regressions before merge
• compare runs locally
• keep prompt versions in YAML
• run the same gate in CI and on a laptop

• baseline snapshots catch regressions, not just low scores
• prompt registry keeps prompts versioned in YAML
• works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Gemini, and Ollama
• local SQLite storage, no account needed
• offline cache for repeated and CI-safe checks

• evalflow.yaml stores env var names, not secret values
• keep .env and .evalflow/ out of git
• see docs/dev-doc/security.md for the full security model
