agent-benchmark

agent-benchmark is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vibeeval/vibecosystem. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,824 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for measuring the quality of coding-agent responses over time. It uses benchmarks, which are repeatable tests used to compare results and detect regressions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating baselines, running prompt and task benchmarks, auditing quality, and checking agent changes before release.
Why use it?
It shows whether changes improve an agent or accidentally make existing behavior worse.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

agent-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 1mo 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.

Agent Benchmark Framework

Without benchmarks, we cannot know whether agent changes improve or degrade quality. This skill defines how to measure, track, and protect agent performance.

When to Activate

  • Before and after modifying any agent definition file
  • When adding a new skill that an agent depends on
  • Periodic quality audits (weekly/monthly)
  • When a user reports degraded agent output
  • Before promoting an agent from experimental to production

Core Concepts

Why Benchmarks Matter

Agent quality degrades silently. A prompt tweak that improves one response can break ten others. Without a baseline to compare against, every change is a guess. Benchmarks make quality visible and regressions detectable.

Benchmark Types

Type Scope Cost Frequency
Prompt Benchmark Single agent, single task Low Every agent change
Task Benchmark End-to-end scenario Medium Feature changes
Regression Suite All critical agents High Weekly / before release

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.

agent-benchmark is a skill published in the GitHub repository vibeeval/vibecosystem (538 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,824 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
