benchmarking-skill-utility

benchmarking-skill-utility is a skill for Claude Code from Nolane-x/forge-os. It costs 40 tokens per session (187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A measurement guide for comparing skills or providers using the results of matched tasks. It records quality, token cost, failures, uncertainty, and the reason for each decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps pin versions and test conditions, run fair baselines, group failures, measure token changes, and support evidence-based lifecycle decisions.
Why use it?
It prevents one successful example from being mistaken for proof that a skill should be used, promoted, quarantined, or retired.

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

benchmarking-skill-utility 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Benchmarking Skill Utility

Core principle

Pin the skill version, corpus, models, seeds, tools, and policy. Store confidence, failure clusters, token deltas, and decision provenance. The runtime owns deterministic scope, coverage, policy, and evidence checks; the agent owns only the judgment that cannot be reduced safely to code.

Do not activate when

  • single anecdotal success without a baseline
  • production promotion without paired runs
Files

What ships with it

9 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.
