honey-gain

honey-gain is a skill for Claude Code from Green-PT/honey-for-devs. It costs 14 tokens per session (641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reporting results from a committed benchmark scoreboard, comparing variants with a baseline and rival skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce benchmark tables showing changes in code size and output, statistical significance, judge outcomes, and test pass rates.
Why use it?
It prevents stale, guessed, or misleading benchmark claims by requiring results to be recomputed from the stored records and reported with statistical context.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is cd bench && node src/report.js --stamp full-opus48 --by-type.

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

honey-gain 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 11d 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.

Honey Gain

Report the committed benchmark results — never a guessed or per-session number, and never an embedded copy that can drift from the bench.

Do

  1. Recompute from the committed records at use time — don't recite from memory, and prefer the raw records over any rendered table (renderings go stale, the records don't):

    cd bench && node src/report.js --stamp full-opus48 --by-type
    

    Offline, no API spend. Swap --stamp full-gpt55 for the cross-provider figure, drop --by-type for the whole suite. Hive handoff numbers → bench/hive/RESULTS.md.

  2. Report the tier table terse: Δ LOC and Δ output, each with its p, judge as win/loss/tie, and the test pass-rate, per variant. The tier split is the finding — deepest on code and handoffs, output a statistical tie on user-facing (the polish carve-out). Lead with Δ LOC: it measures Lever 1 directly, while output tokens mix code with the prose around it, and the two come apart (Ponytail cuts lines but narrates at length).

Rules

  • Never quote a delta without its p-value, and call (ns) results ties, not wins. Every figure is a paired per-task median; a ratio of arm totals is not quotable.
  • Prose renderings (bench/README.md, results/combined.md) are secondary. If one disagrees with a fresh --stamp recompute, the recompute wins — say the rendering is out of sync.
  • Quality is a tie, not a gain — that's the honest claim. Don't upgrade it.
  • Cost/CO₂ savings are a modelled counterfactual, not measured; those belong to honey-eco, which labels them. Don't state a dollar saving here.
  • Asked for numbers on this repo? The bench measures the skill on a fixed task suite, not the user's codebase — offer cd bench && npm run bench, don't extrapolate.
  • One honest caveat, once: 23 author-written tasks, judge noise — the objective test-pass column is the trustworthy correctness signal.
  • Never resurrect the old unreproducible 92%/78%/73% / −57%/−65%/−70% numbers, or the superseded arm-total figures (−49% code, −15% aggregate) — see bench/METHODOLOGY.md.

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.

honey-gain is a skill published in the GitHub repository Green-PT/honey-for-devs (294 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 641 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
