What it supplies: The README presents Inspect Evals as a library of evaluations built on Inspect AI.

Useful for: - Pick a ready-made evaluation from the docs and run it following its Usage section.
- Share your own evaluation through the Inspect Evals Register.

First action: - Open the docs and choose an evaluation.
- Use Python 3.11 or 3.12; pin it with uv python pin 3.11.
- Follow the evaluation's Usage section.

Prerequisites and limits: The README recommends Python 3.11 or 3.12 and notes Python 3.13 runs all evals except one whose dependency does not support it.

- Pull requests are accepted only from pre-approved contributors.
- Hardware needs and the evaluation list are in sections not summarised here.

The README text read states no licence, so check the repository licence file. Each evaluation's datasets and models have their own terms.
