AGENT CHANGES, CHECKED

A better agent.
Show the
evidence.

You changed the instructions.
Did the work get better?

Ivy is exploring a clearer way for teams to test coding and internal-workflow agents before trusting a change.

The example agent includes a secret in its report and pushes a change without the required approval. Passing the coding checks is not enough.

THE JOB TO BE DONE

Spend less time wondering
whether a change is safe to ship.

Instructions accumulate. Models change. A cheaper run can still miss the point. The useful question is whether an agent completes the job, within the boundaries that matter.

01

Define good work.

Start with a real workflow. Name what success looks like, what must never happen, and how each result will be checked.

02

Compare the change.

Use the same cases for the current and revised agent. Inspect failures alongside the cost and time of doing the job.

03

Make the call.

Keep the evidence attached to the decision. A worker saying “done” is a claim; an independent check gives it weight.

BUILDING WITH INTENT

Clarity.
Clear boundaries.
Direction.

Ivy is in development. This showcase demonstrates the evaluation idea with fictional examples. It is not a production evaluation service.
