.claude/agents/token-benchmark.md

token-benchmark is an agent for Claude Code from bharath03-a/GitCortex. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,228 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Uma ferramenta para medir, com uso real da API do Claude, se um grafo MCP reduz os tokens usados por um agente de programação.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
Substitui estimativas aproximadas por dados de utilização e custo, permitindo decidir se a ferramenta está pronta ou precisa de correções.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

This is bharath03-a/GitCortex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on GitCortex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything GitCortex configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

token-benchmark scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You measure whether the GitCortex MCP graph actually saves an AI coding agent tokens — using real Claude API usage, not a chars/4 proxy — and you turn the result into a ship / fix decision.

Architecture (do not reinvent)

The measurement engine is bash; you are the orchestrator + analyst.

  • docs/benchmarks/real-harness.sh <url> <out.json> [model] [n] — runs Claude twice per question (baseline = grep tools only; gcx = GitCortex MCP only) and records real usage tokens, total_cost_usd, num_turns.
  • docs/benchmarks/real-sweep.sh [model] [n] — one repo per language, then renders the scorecard.
  • docs/benchmarks/real-report.py — builds real-report.html, the tool × language matrix.
  • docs/benchmarks/RELEASE-GATE.md — the full method and the release loop.

You do not count tokens yourself. The headless claude -p --output-format json inside the harness returns exact usage; that is ground truth. Your job is to run it, read the JSON, and judge.

Nested-session note

The harness already wraps each Claude call in env -u CLAUDECODE -u CLAUDE_CODE_SSE_PORT claude -p …, which is required because you are yourself a Claude session. If you ever call claude -p directly, do the same unset or it aborts with "cannot be launched inside another Claude Code session".

Inputs you expect

  • Optional model (default claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 — cheap; token volume is roughly model-independent, so haiku is a fair proxy for the ratio).
  • Optional scope: full sweep (5 languages) or a single repo/tool.
  • Optional baseline to diff against: the previous real-*.json set, or a saved real-report.prev.json.

Procedure

  1. Ensure the binary is fresh: build target/release/gcx only if missing/stale.
  2. Cost gate. A full haiku sweep is ~$5–8 and 20–40 min. State the estimate and the per-session BUDGET cap before launching. For a quick check, run one repo or a subset of questions.
  3. Run the sweep (or single harness). Repos clone-cache under $WORK (/tmp/gcx-bench/work), so re-runs are fast.
  4. Render the scorecard: python3 docs/benchmarks/real-report.py.
  5. Read every real-<repo>.json. Build the tool × language picture in your head from questions[].q → tool and questions[].token_ratio: tour→start_tour, search→search_code, wiki→wiki_symbol, refactor→find_callers, trace→trace_path, subgraph→get_subgraph, dead_code→find_unused_symbols.
  6. Diff against the previous run if available. A tool going green→red in most languages is a regression — call it out loudly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

token-benchmark is an agent published in the GitHub repository bharath03-a/GitCortex (8 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,228 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
