mk:benchmark

mk:benchmark is a skill for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 26 tokens per session (2,673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manual or experimental test harness that records benchmark runs and scores for a small set of known tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to establish a baseline, run quick or full benchmark suites, compare two runs, or evaluate harness components during an audit.
Why use it?
It provides measured evidence about how well a development harness performs and whether changes improve or weaken 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

mk: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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/compare-runs.sh, scripts/git-index-audit.sh, scripts/run-canary.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

mk:benchmark — Experimental Harness Canary Suite

Measures harness performance against a small set of ground-truth tasks. Provides the empirical signal that the dead-weight audit (per .claude/rules/dead-weight-audit-rules.md) consumes to make load-bearing decisions about each harness component.

When to Use

Activate when:

  • User runs /mk:benchmark run (default = quick tier, 5 tasks, ≤$5)
  • User runs /mk:benchmark run --full (quick tier + 1 heavy task, ≤$30)
  • User runs /mk:benchmark compare <run-id-a> <run-id-b> (delta table)
  • Before applying a harness change (baseline)
  • After applying a harness change (verify delta)
  • During the dead-weight audit playbook (component enable/disable cycles)

Skip when:

  • The harness has been run end-to-end manually within the last hour (use that data instead)
  • Budget cap is hit before the suite finishes (record partial result, alert)

Hard Constraints

  1. Quick tier ≤$5 total cost. Hard block if projected cost exceeds.
  2. Full tier ≤$30 total cost. Hard block if projected cost exceeds.
  3. --full is opt-in. The heavy task (06-small-app-build) requires explicit --full flag because it triggers mk:autobuild which can run for hours. Refuses to run without the flag.
  4. NOT a replacement for unit tests. This is harness-level measurement only.
  5. Results recorded in trace-log.jsonl as event=benchmark_result records, tagged with benchmark_version + harness_version + model_version.

Subcommands

Subcommand Purpose Tier Cost cap
run Execute the quick tier (5 tasks) and record scores quick $5
run --full Execute quick + heavy tier (6 tasks total) full $30
compare <a> <b> Show per-task delta between two prior runs (free, reads cache)

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

mk:benchmark is a skill published in the GitHub repository ngocsangyem/MeowKit (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 2,673 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 2026-09-03.
