# `GEPA.Adapters.Basic`
[🔗](https://github.com/nshkrdotcom/gepa_ex/blob/v0.3.0/lib/gepa/adapters/basic.ex#L1)

Basic adapter for simple Q&A tasks.

Evaluates candidates by checking if the expected answer appears in the
generated response. Suitable for testing and simple optimization tasks.

Note: This is a simplified adapter for testing. For production use,
implement the GEPA.Adapter behavior directly.

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %GEPA.Adapters.Basic{
  failure_score: float(),
  llm_client: module() | struct()
}
```

# `evaluate`

```elixir
@spec evaluate(
  t(),
  [GEPA.Adapter.data_inst()],
  GEPA.Adapter.candidate(),
  boolean()
) :: {:ok, GEPA.EvaluationBatch.t()}
```

Evaluate a batch of examples with the candidate program.

# `make_reflective_dataset`

```elixir
@spec make_reflective_dataset(
  t(),
  GEPA.Adapter.candidate(),
  GEPA.EvaluationBatch.t(),
  [String.t()]
) :: {:ok, GEPA.Adapter.reflective_dataset()}
```

Build reflective dataset from evaluation results.

# `new`

```elixir
@spec new(keyword()) :: t()
```

Create a new basic adapter.

## Options

- `:llm_client` - Module implementing generate/1 (default: GEPA.LLM.Mock)
- `:failure_score` - Score for failed evaluations (default: 0.0)
