chimera-give-the-denominator

chimera-give-the-denominator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from brcampidelli/chimera-agent. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reporting rule for rates, percentages, and other aggregate numbers. It requires stating the numerator, denominator, and the composition of the counted result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing reports, commit messages, benchmark tables, or updates about failures, coverage, growth, or other aggregate measurements.
Why use it?
A percentage without knowing what it is a percentage of can give a misleading impression, even when the arithmetic is correct.

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

chimera-give-the-denominator 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 12d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Trigger

You are about to put a rate, a percentage, or a count into a report, a commit message, a benchmark table, or a message to someone who will act on it. "34% of runs failed." "Errors up 3x." "Coverage dropped."

It does not apply to a number the reader can already decompose: a single measured latency, a version string, a count of files in a diff they can see. The risk is specific to an aggregate — a quantity computed by dividing one set you chose by another set you chose, where both choices are invisible in the sentence.

Do

  1. Write the raw counts next to the rate, always: 34% (17/50 runs). If you cannot state the denominator, you do not yet know what you measured.
  2. Say which denominator. Attempted runs and completed runs are different sets, and dividing by completed silently deletes the crashes — the exact population that made you look.
  3. Split the numerator by cause before publishing it. Of those 17 failures, how many are an already-open issue, a known flaky provider timeout, a fixture that fails on this machine? Report the split: 17 failed — 14 are the known connect timeout, 3 unexplained.
  4. Run the same measurement against an unchanged baseline and subtract. The number that matters is the part that does not survive on main.
  5. When n is small enough that one more sample would move the headline figure by several points, put that sentence in the report instead of the percentage.

Avoid

"failure rate 34%" — true, and it invites the reader to spend a day on a timeout they already filed last week. Write "17/50 failed; 14 are the ollama connect timeout (issue open), 3 are new" and the day gets spent on the 3.

Avoid the survivorship denominator. rate = failures / completed is the classic: the runs that died before producing a row are absent from both sides, so the metric improves as the system gets worse.

Avoid percentages over a denominator under about twenty without n attached. 50% → 67% is a real improvement or it is one run out of three flipping, and the two are indistinguishable on the page.

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.

chimera-give-the-denominator is a skill published in the GitHub repository brcampidelli/chimera-agent (25 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,021 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
