gooddata-eval can require a document item to ask before it drafts, and can script the simulated user's answer. Opt-in per item; existing items score as before.

PR 2 of 2 for LX-3243. The gen-ai side, where the copilot asks before drafting a page with no data, is gooddata/gdc-nas#29711.

What this implements

{
  "question": "Create a report on revenue and customers for the first half of 2030.",
  "expected_output": {
    "expects_clarification": true,
    "asked_first_required": true,
    "clarification_reply": "Use the first half of 2026 instead. Please create the document now.",
    "period": {"start": "2026-01-01", "end": "2026-06-30"}
  }
}

Decisions

  1. asked_first_required makes document_asked_first a strict check.
    It fails a run that drafted without asking on an earlier turn. A run that never drafted fails only for the missing draft. It needs expects_clarification: true. The diagnostic copy is then not published, so the score is not reported twice.

  2. A turn counts as asking when classify_reply returns anything but no_action.
    The gate asks "did the copilot stop and ask instead of drafting". A confirmation such as "Should I create the document anyway?" does that, so it counts. The diagnostic uses the same rule. classify_reply itself is unchanged, so metric and alert items keep their replies.

  3. clarification_reply answers the first turn that asks, once.
    The built reply always says "create the document now", which does not answer a question about something else, such as an empty page. Later questions get the built reply. The key needs expects_clarification: true. It is one string; a fixture that has to pick from a clarifyingQuestions questionnaire should move to the set_answers / clarifying_answers keys conversation.py already has.

  4. A refused draft_document call is not a draft.
    The extractor already skips non-success results, so a copilot that asks after the tool refuses still counts as asking first.

Test plan

  • New tests: the gate fails a run that drafts straight away; it passes one that asks, one that asks for confirmation, and one that asks after a status turn; a run that never drafts gets one failure; the custom reply is sent once, only after a turn that asks; malformed keys are rejected before any request
  • Each new test fails with its fix reverted
  • packages/gooddata-eval (py314): 2671 passed, 1 skipped; ruff, ruff format, ty and gitlint clean. test_only_the_first_questionnaire_gets_the_structured_answers on master calls the real judge when OPENAI_API_KEY is set, so run without it

Risk

low — opt-in fixture keys; no change for items without them.

Walkthrough

The document evaluation fixture accepts settings for requiring a question before drafting and for supplying a clarification reply. The evaluation loop tracks pre-draft questions, uses the configured reply once, and applies the required-question check when enabled.

Changes: Document clarification evaluation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clarification fixture and reply handling
packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/document_skill.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_document_skill.py
Fixture validation checks asked_first_required and clarification_reply. The simulated reply uses the configured text for a question and the default reply otherwise. Tests cover reply selection and one-time use.
Pre-draft question evaluation
packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/document_skill.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_document_skill.py
The evaluation loop records whether a response before drafting was classified as a question. It applies a strict check when asking first is required. Tests cover question timing and draft outcomes.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Explanation

The title names the main change: a document item in gooddata-eval now waits for the simulated user to be asked a question before the item drafts. The raw summary and objectives confirm this gate (asked_first_required) is the core feature, with the clarification_reply key and diagnostics as supporting parts. The title is specific, concise, and follows conventional commit style. It is 68 characters and one sentence.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 80.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 5 functions across 2 files.

A rabbit checks the question’s place,
Before a draft begins its race.
One custom reply hops into view,
Then defaults greet the questions new.
The test burrow confirms the track,
And every answer finds its way back.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Use the configured reply only once.

If the copilot asks a second question, the run sends clarification_reply again. For example, after answering a period question, it repeats that period answer when asked which charts to use. The run can exhaust its turns without drafting. Use the configured reply for the first question, then use the generated reply for later questions.

The comment on document_skill.py:778 gates approval; the other two are non-blocking.

`document_asked_first` was recorded but never scored, and the simulated
user always answered with the expected charts and period. An item could
not require the copilot to ask, and a question about something else got
an answer that did not fit.

Two optional expectation keys close that:

- `asked_first_required`: true makes `document_asked_first` a strict
  check. It fails a run that drafted without asking on an earlier turn.
  A run that never drafted fails only for the missing draft. The key
  needs `expects_clarification: true`. The diagnostic copy is then not
  published, so the score is not reported twice.
- `clarification_reply`: the text the simulated user sends to the first
  turn that asks, in place of the reply built from the charts and
  period. Later questions get the built reply. The key needs
  `expects_clarification: true`.

A turn counts as asking when `classify_reply` returns anything but
`no_action`. A confirmation such as "Should I create the document
anyway?" stops the copilot before it drafts, so it counts too. The
diagnostic follows the same rule. `classify_reply` itself is unchanged,
so metric and alert items keep their replies.

A malformed value is rejected before the first request. Without either
key, nothing changes for existing items. A refused `draft_document` call
is not a draft, so a copilot that asks after the tool refuses an empty
page counts as asking first.
