benchmark-due-diligence

benchmark-due-diligence is a skill for Claude Code from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 181 tokens per session (2,246 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An adversarial investigation method for checking whether a founder, influencer, company, or product’s claimed success is real. It separates evidence from marketing and examines which parts of the approach could be repeated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a competitor or role model, test their public claims, identify the repeatable parts of their approach, and turn those findings into personal next steps.
Why use it?
It helps prevent copying a success story that depends mainly on luck, timing, or exaggerated claims. The result connects verified findings to decisions you can make with your own resources.

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-due-diligence 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 9d 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 — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Benchmark Due Diligence

Take a benchmark the user envies — a founder, KOL, company, or product whose success looks suspiciously shiny — and produce a teardown that ends in "what this means for ME", not a neutral report. The deliverable answers three questions a balanced briefing never does: How much of this success is real vs marketing bubble? How much is replicable method vs luck/timing? And what, specifically, can the commissioner do with it?

This is the adversarial, decision-oriented cousin of deep-research. Where deep-research builds a trustworthy picture of the world, this skill assumes the picture is inflated until proven otherwise and converts the survivors into the commissioner's own moves.

CRITICAL: run inline, never context: fork

This skill is an orchestrator — it spawns parallel collection + verification agents (via the Workflow tool, or Task agents) and may invoke other skills (deep-research, osint-investigate, qcc). Subagents cannot spawn subagents or call skills. Setting context: fork would silently break the entire fan-out. Do not add a context field. (Same constraint osint-investigate documents — it's a hard runtime rule, not a preference.)

The one rule that protects the commissioner: two injection channels

Everything the agents see flows through exactly two channels. Keeping them separate is the single most important discipline in this skill:

Channel Content Injected into
FACTS Already-verified public facts about the benchmark (relationships, who-owns-what, the headline claim flagged ⚠️ to-verify) Every agent — collection, verification, synthesis
COMMISSIONER_CONTEXT The commissioner's private reality — real resources, client names, strategic intent, what they can actually leverage Only the final mapping agent (Phase 4)

Why this split is non-negotiable: collection and verification agents take their input and run external WebSearch on it. If the commissioner's client names or strategy leak into those prompts, they get searched on the open web — a privacy breach. The mapping phase genuinely needs "who is the commissioner"; the collection phase must never see it. Encode this in the orchestration (see references/workflow_orchestration_template.md), don't rely on remembering it mid-run.

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.
