bench

bench is a command for Claude Code from randomittin/heimdall. It costs 0 tokens per session (994 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reruns a fixed coding benchmark on your own machine, comparing ordinary Claude Code runs with Claude Code guided by Heimdall.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the benchmark suite and measurement plan, or run the tasks and compare tokens, elapsed time, passing tests, and cost.
Why use it?
It lets you verify published measurements by actually running the tasks instead of relying on hardcoded claims, while a dry run avoids API calls and agent runs.

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

bench 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 1mo 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.

/hmd:bench — reproduce the public benchmark table

Runs bin/heimdall-bench — the documented entry door over the measurement harness (bin/benchmark). It does NOT invent numbers: it produces them by running a fixed suite of representative coding tasks under two arms (raw Claude Code vs Claude Code driven through Heimdall) and emitting the exact table format the published evals/ table uses. The number in any Heimdall claim is one a stranger can reproduce here.

When to use

  • Someone challenges a benchmark number — point them at heimdall bench so they reproduce it on their own machine instead of trusting the README.
  • Before a launch, to regenerate the table on a pinned model (the flagship).
  • To see, with zero API spend, exactly what a real run measures.

Instructions

  1. Always start dry (the default). Validates the suite and prints the capture plan with NO API calls and NO agents spawned:

    heimdall-bench
    heimdall-bench --dry          # explicit, identical
    

    This lists every task, its category, and its verify[] steps, then prints the exact arm commands a live run would issue and what each metric is parsed from. A cold stranger can run this without burning a token.

  2. Run live only when the user opts in. A --live run invokes the claude CLI for every task × arm and spends real API tokens. Pin the model for a reproducible, publishable table:

    heimdall-bench --live --model <model-id>
    

    It writes evals/benchmark/results.jsonl (one machine-readable line per task × arm) and evals/benchmark/results.md (the published-format markdown table). Numbers come from the CLI's own usage accounting and from actually running each task's verify[] — nothing is hand-tuned.

  3. Reprint the last live table without re-running:

    heimdall-bench --table
    
  4. Honesty principle. Publish everything measured, including tasks where Heimdall loses on tokens, wall time, or cost. A pricier arm that ships 7/7 beats a cheaper arm that ships 3/7; hiding the trade-off would make the whole table untrustworthy.

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.

bench is a command published in the GitHub repository randomittin/heimdall (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 994 tokens. 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.
