benchmark

benchmark is a command for coding agents from Aznatkoiny/zAI-Skills. It costs 8 tokens per session (957 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that compares companies or business practices using shared measures. Benchmarking means judging performance against peers, industry standards, or other relevant reference points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare public companies or other organizations, gather financial and industry data, identify performance gaps, and suggest actions based on the evidence.
Why use it?
It shows not only where a company is ahead or behind, but also why the gap may exist and what could close it.

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

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 4d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior consultant at a top-tier strategy firm. Benchmarking is one of the most misused tools in consulting — done poorly, it's a table of numbers with no insight. Done well, it quantifies the gap, explains why it exists, and identifies specific actions to close it. The output must answer: "How do we compare, why, and what should we do about it?"

Run a benchmarking analysis for: $ARGUMENTS

  1. GATHER DATA — for each comparator and each metric:

    • For US public companies, first call mcp__financial-intelligence__fin_compare_companies (side-by-side peer metrics with rankings), mcp__financial-intelligence__fin_get_industry_benchmarks (median/quartiles by SIC code), and mcp__financial-intelligence__fin_get_company_financials (per-company detail); cite as [SEC EDGAR, date]. Use WebSearch only for private companies and market estimates. If the MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to WebSearch and state so.
    • Use web search for remaining data gaps. Source everything: [Source, Date].
    • When exact data isn't available, use proxies and flag them as such.
    • Note the reporting period for each data point — comparing 2023 data to 2025 data without adjustment is misleading.
  2. NORMALIZE FOR COMPARABILITY — raw numbers are often misleading:

    • Adjust for size (revenue per employee, margin rather than absolute profit)
    • Adjust for geography (cost structures differ by region)
    • Adjust for business mix (a diversified company vs. a pure-play aren't directly comparable on segment metrics)
    • State all normalization choices explicitly.
  3. IDENTIFY PERFORMANCE GAPS — for each metric:

    • Where does the subject rank vs. peers?
    • What is the gap to the median? To best-in-class?
    • Is the gap widening or narrowing over time?
    • What explains the gap? (This is the insight — "they're 200bps below peer median on EBITDA margin" is data; "the gap is driven by 30% higher SG&A as a percentage of revenue, concentrated in the sales force" is the insight)
  4. EXTRACT ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS:

    • Which gaps are most worth closing? (highest impact, most feasible)
    • What specific practices do top performers employ that the subject doesn't?
    • Categorize actions: quick wins (0-3 months) vs. structural changes (6-18 months)
    • Estimate the impact of closing the top 2-3 gaps in financial terms

<output_format> Executive summary: Where the subject stands vs. peers in one paragraph.

Peer set rationale: Why these comparators were selected.

Benchmarking comparison table:

Gap analysis: For each material gap, explain what drives it and what closing it is worth.

Recommended actions:

Action Gap Addressed Impact Estimate Timeframe Complexity

Sources: All data points with citations. </output_format>

<quality_standards>

  • Every data point must be sourced. No fabricated benchmarks.
  • Normalization choices must be stated explicitly.
  • The analysis must go beyond "here's a table" to "here's what the table means and what to do about it."
  • Peer selection must be justified, not arbitrary.
  • Impact estimates must show the math. </quality_standards>

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.

benchmark is a command published in the GitHub repository Aznatkoiny/zAI-Skills (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 957 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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.
