What changed: You can now evaluate whether an agent correctly selects and follows a skill using Strands Evals and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations.

How to use it:

  1. Define your domain-specific skill as reusable, portable instructions for your agent.
  2. Run the agent against a test scenario where the correct skill selection and instruction sequence are known.
  3. Use Strands Evals to measure whether the agent picked the right skill and followed its steps.
  4. Use Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations to get structured feedback on skill adherence.
