What

One-line README change in the peer comparison section. The RAGAS bullet now tells readers to install the optional extra before using the RAGAS backend:

pip install rag-forge-evaluator[ragas]
rag-forge audit --evaluator ragas

Why

ragas is declared as an optional extra in packages/evaluator/pyproject.toml, not a hard dependency. Anyone following the README as written would hit an import error on the first RAGAS run. This closes that gap at the point where the README first mentions the backend.

Context

The same suggestion arrived on 20 Sept via an external PR that GitHub has since removed along with the author account. Reapplied here as a clean, single-line change with no other edits to the file.

Checks

  • pnpm run typecheck clean (tsc + mypy)
  • pnpm run lint clean (ESLint + Ruff)
  • pnpm run build clean

The RAGAS backend is not installed by default. The evaluator package
declares `ragas` as an optional extra, so readers following the peer
comparison section would hit an import error when running
`rag-forge audit --evaluator ragas` without first installing
`rag-forge-evaluator[ragas]`. Spell out the install step inline.

Readers using zsh may be unable to run the documented RAGAS install command unless the extra specifier is quoted. The impact is limited to this setup instruction, so the PR remains mergeable with a small fix.

A rabbit reads the setup line,
Then gathers carrots in a row.
“Install the extra first,” it says,
And checks the audit command below.
With README tucked beneath its paw,
It hops away through fields of code.

Comment thread README.md Resolved
In zsh, an unquoted `[ragas]` is treated as a filename glob. When it
matches no file, zsh aborts with "no matches found" before pip runs.
Quoting the specifier makes the documented install command work in
bash, zsh, and fish alike.
