From d25a826a6be1d5b540cf4ab6181bfba02605dc98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Tso Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 10:58:30 +1100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add OpenSpec proposal for JSONL dataset format support Add support for JSONL (JSON Lines) format as an alternative to YAML for evaluation datasets, following industry standards from DeepEval, LangWatch, Hugging Face, and OpenAI. Key features: - Pure JSONL files (one eval case per line) - Optional sidecar YAML for metadata and defaults - Per-case overrides for execution and evaluators - Same file reference resolution as YAML - Fully backward compatible with existing YAML files Benefits: - Memory efficient for large datasets - Git-friendly line-based diffs - Easy programmatic generation and appending - Compatible with standard JSONL tools Includes complete proposal, design doc, implementation tasks, and spec with 8 requirements and 27 scenarios. --- .../add-jsonl-dataset-format/design.md | 322 ++++++++++++++++++ .../add-jsonl-dataset-format/proposal.md | 235 +++++++++++++ .../specs/jsonl-dataset-format/spec.md | 278 +++++++++++++++ .../changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/tasks.md | 135 ++++++++ 4 files changed, 970 insertions(+) create mode 100644 openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/design.md create mode 100644 openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/proposal.md create mode 100644 openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/specs/jsonl-dataset-format/spec.md create mode 100644 openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/tasks.md diff --git a/openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/design.md b/openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/design.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c2c186d --- /dev/null +++ b/openspec/changes/add-jsonl-dataset-format/design.md @@ -0,0 +1,322 @@ +# Design: JSONL Dataset Format + +## Architecture Overview + +### Current State + +``` +User → agentv CLI → loadEvalCases() → yaml-parser.ts → parse(YAML) → EvalCase[] +``` + +### New State + +``` +User → agentv CLI → loadEvalCases() → Format Detector + ├→ YAML Parser (existing) + └→ JSONL Parser (new) + ├→ Parse JSONL lines + ├→ Load sidecar metadata + └→ Merge defaults → EvalCase[] +``` + +## Key Design Decisions + +### 1. Parser Architecture + +**Decision**: Create separate `jsonl-parser.ts` module alongside `yaml-parser.ts` + +**Rationale**: +- Separation of concerns (YAML vs JSONL logic) +- Easier to test independently +- Maintains clarity in codebase +- Allows future format additions without cluttering one file + +**Alternative considered**: Extend existing `yaml-parser.ts` +- **Rejected**: Would mix two different parsing strategies (document vs line-based) + +### 2. Format Detection Strategy + +**Decision**: Use file extension (`.jsonl` vs `.yaml`/`.yml`) + +**Rationale**: +- Simple and explicit +- Industry standard approach +- No magic or heuristics required +- Clear user intent + +**Implementation**: +```typescript +function detectFormat(filePath: string): 'yaml' | 'jsonl' { + const ext = path.extname(filePath).toLowerCase(); + if (ext === '.jsonl') return 'jsonl'; + if (ext === '.yaml' || ext === '.yml') return 'yaml'; + throw new Error(`Unsupported file format: ${ext}`); +} +``` + +### 3. Sidecar Metadata Pattern + +**Decision**: Optional companion YAML file with same base name + +**Example**: +``` +evals/ + dataset.jsonl # Data + dataset.yaml # Metadata (optional) +``` + +**Rationale**: +- Follows industry standard (Hugging Face, Vertex AI) +- Maintains JSONL purity (every line is data) +- Avoids repetition of defaults +- Metadata remains human-readable +- Clear separation of config vs data + +**Loading logic**: +1. Check for `.yaml` file +2. If found, parse metadata fields +3. If not found, use sensible defaults: + - `dataset`: basename of JSONL file + - `execution.target`: "default" + - `evaluator`: "llm_judge" + - `description`: empty + +### 4. Defaults & Override Precedence + +**Decision**: Sidecar provides defaults, per-line fields override + +**Precedence order** (highest to lowest): +1. Per-line field (e.g., `{"execution": {"target": "openai"}}`) +2. Sidecar YAML field +3. Hard-coded defaults + +**Example**: +```yaml +# dataset.yaml +execution: + target: azure_base +evaluator: llm_judge +``` + +```jsonl +{"id": "test-1", "input_messages": [...]} # Uses azure_base, llm_judge +{"id": "test-2", "input_messages": [...], "execution": {"target": "openai"}} # Uses openai, llm_judge +{"id": "test-3", "input_messages": [...], "evaluators": [{"type": "rubric"}]} # Uses azure_base, rubric +``` + +### 5. Line Parsing Strategy + +**Decision**: Strict line-by-line parsing with error recovery + +**Approach**: +```typescript +async function parseJsonlFile(filePath: string): Promise { + const content = await readFile(filePath, 'utf8'); + const lines = content.split('\n'); + const cases: RawEvalCase[] = []; + + for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) { + const line = lines[i].trim(); + if (line === '') continue; // Skip empty lines + + try { + const parsed = JSON.parse(line); + if (!isJsonObject(parsed)) { + throw new Error('Expected JSON object'); + } + cases.push(parsed as RawEvalCase); + } catch (error) { + throw new Error( + `Line ${i + 1}: Invalid JSON - ${(error as Error).message}` + ); + } + } + + return cases; +} +``` + +**Error handling**: +- Report line number for failures +- Stop on first error (no partial loads) +- Clear error messages for common issues + +**Alternative considered**: Continue parsing after errors +- **Rejected**: Could lead to incomplete/inconsistent test runs + +### 6. Schema Compatibility + +**Decision**: Reuse existing `EvalCase` TypeScript type + +**Rationale**: +- Zero changes to downstream code +- Same validation rules +- Same evaluator logic +- JSONL is just a different serialization format + +**Field mapping**: +```typescript +// JSONL line +{ + "id": "test-1", + "expected_outcome": "Goal", + "input_messages": [...], + "expected_messages": [...], + "execution": {...}, + "evaluators": [...], + "rubrics": [...] +} + +// Maps directly to EvalCase type +type EvalCase = { + id: string; + conversationId?: string; + expectedOutcome: string; + inputMessages: TestMessage[]; + expectedMessages: TestMessage[]; + execution?: {...}; + evaluators?: [...]; + // ... rest of fields +} +``` + +### 7. File Reference Resolution + +**Decision**: Resolve paths relative to JSONL file location (same as YAML) + +**Example**: +``` +evals/ + subfolder/ + test.jsonl + attachments/ + code.py +``` + +```jsonl +{"id": "test", "input_messages": [{"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "file", "value": "./attachments/code.py"}]}]} +``` + +**Resolution**: +- `./attachments/code.py` → `evals/subfolder/attachments/code.py` +- Same `searchRoots` logic as YAML parser +- Same guideline pattern matching + +### 8. Streaming vs Batch Loading + +**Decision**: Load all cases into memory first (like YAML), defer streaming to future + +**Rationale**: +- Maintains consistency with YAML behavior +- Simpler initial implementation +- Most datasets fit in memory +- Streaming can be added later without breaking changes + +**Future enhancement path**: +```typescript +// Future: Streaming API (non-breaking addition) +async function* streamEvalCases(filePath: string) { + // Yield cases one at a time +} +``` + +## Error Handling Strategy + +### Parse Errors +``` +Error: Failed to parse JSONL file: evals/test.jsonl + Line 42: Unexpected token } in JSON at position 23 + + Hint: Each line must be a complete JSON object +``` + +### Missing Required Fields +``` +Error: Invalid eval case at line 10 in evals/test.jsonl + Missing required field: 'expected_outcome' + + Required fields: id, expected_outcome, input_messages +``` + +### Invalid Field Types +``` +Error: Invalid eval case at line 5 in evals/test.jsonl + Field 'input_messages' must be an array, got string +``` + +### Sidecar Not Found (Warning, not error) +``` +Warning: Sidecar metadata file not found: evals/dataset.yaml + Using defaults: target=default, evaluator=llm_judge +``` + +## Testing Strategy + +### Unit Tests +- Parse valid JSONL (single line, multiple lines) +- Handle empty lines and whitespace +- Error on malformed JSON +- Error on missing required fields +- Load sidecar metadata +- Merge defaults correctly +- Override precedence + +### Integration Tests +- End-to-end eval run with JSONL +- File references resolve correctly +- Multiple evaluators work +- Per-case execution overrides +- Trace capture + +### Regression Tests +- YAML parsing unchanged +- Backward compatibility +- Mixed YAML + JSONL in repo + +## Performance Considerations + +### Memory +- Load entire JSONL file into string (same as YAML) +- Parse line-by-line (better than YAML's full parse) +- Each case processed independently + +### Speed +- JSON.parse() is typically faster than YAML parsing +- Line-by-line allows early error detection +- No significant performance concerns expected + +### File Size +- JSONL more compact than YAML (no indentation) +- Typical eval case: ~200-500 bytes per line +- 1000 cases ≈ 200-500 KB (negligible) + +## Migration Path + +### From YAML to JSONL + +**Option 1**: Manual conversion (for small datasets) +```bash +# Convert evalcases array to JSONL +cat dataset.yaml | yq '.evalcases[]' -o json > dataset.jsonl + +# Extract metadata to sidecar +cat dataset.yaml | yq 'del(.evalcases)' > dataset-meta.yaml +``` + +**Option 2**: Keep YAML (no migration needed) +- YAML continues to work +- No forced migration +- Users choose format per dataset + +## Future Enhancements (Out of Scope) + +1. **Streaming execution**: Process cases without loading all into memory +2. **JSONL export**: Convert YAML → JSONL +3. **Compressed JSONL**: Support `.jsonl.gz` files +4. **JSON schema validation**: Formal JSON schema for JSONL format +5. **Multi-file datasets**: Split large datasets across multiple JSONL files +6. **Incremental updates**: Append new cases without re-running all + +## Open Issues + +None.

Key features: - Pure JSONL data format (one eval case per line) - Optional sidecar YAML metadata file for dataset defaults - Per-case overrides for execution, evaluators, and rubrics - Line-by-line parsing with clear error messages - Same validation and file reference resolution as YAML - Full backward compatibility with existing YAML files Benefits: - Streaming-friendly for large datasets - Git-friendly line-based diffs - Easy programmatic generation - Standard tool compatibility (jq, grep, etc.) --- README.md | 22 +- apps/cli/README.md | 22 +-
