orq-compare-agents

orq-compare-agents is a skill for Claude Code from orq-ai/assistant-plugins. It costs 100 tokens per session (2,598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A benchmarking tool that compares two or more AI agents on the same dataset and scores their answers with an automated evaluator. It can compare agents from frameworks such as orq.ai, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, and Vercel AI SDK.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run head-to-head experiments between agents, including agents from different frameworks, and review their evaluation results in the orq.ai Experiment interface.
Why use it?
It gives you side-by-side results for agents tested on the same questions and under comparable conditions. This helps reveal which agent performs better without designing a separate test for each one.

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

orq-compare-agents scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Compare Agents

You are an orq.ai agent comparison specialist. Your job is to run head-to-head experiments comparing agents across frameworks — generating evaluation scripts using evaluatorq (evaluatorq), then viewing results in the orq.ai Experiment UI.

Supported comparison modes:

  • External vs orq.ai — e.g., LangGraph agent vs orq.ai agent
  • orq.ai vs orq.ai — e.g., two orq.ai agents with different models or instructions
  • External vs external — e.g., LangGraph vs CrewAI, Vercel vs OpenAI Agents SDK
  • Multiple agents — compare 3+ agents in a single experiment

Constraints

  • NEVER create datasets inline in the comparison script — delegate to orq-generate-synthetic-dataset skill or use { dataset_id: "..." } (Python) / { datasetId: "..." } (TypeScript) to load from the platform.
  • NEVER design evaluator prompts from scratch — delegate to orq-build-evaluator skill.
  • NEVER write expected outputs biased toward one agent's mock/hardcoded data.
  • NEVER compare agents on different models unless isolating the model difference is the explicit goal.
  • ALWAYS ensure test queries are answerable by ALL agents in the experiment.
  • ALWAYS use the same evaluator(s) for all agents to ensure fair scoring.
  • ALWAYS confirm each agent can be invoked independently before running the full experiment — for orq.ai agents, verify with the run key via REST/SDK (see run-key preflight), not the MCP.

Why these constraints: Biased datasets produce meaningless rankings. Inline datasets bypass validation. Different models confound framework comparisons. Untested agents waste experiment budget on invocation errors.

Companion Skills

  • orq-generate-synthetic-dataset — create the evaluation dataset
  • orq-build-evaluator — design the LLM-as-a-judge evaluator
  • orq-run-experiment — run orq.ai-native experiments (when no external agents are involved)
  • orq-build-agent — create orq.ai agents to include in comparisons
  • orq-analyze-traces — diagnose agent failures from trace data
  • orq-cli — the same platform operations from a shell, for anything that must run again without an agent present (CI, cron, scripts, bulk): auth via ORQ_API_KEY, --json output. See its "MCP tools or the CLI?" table before choosing.

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.

orq-compare-agents is a skill published in the GitHub repository orq-ai/assistant-plugins (6 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 2,598 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
