Run a benchmark scenario (a skill, a command, or a question) in a declared runtime and have frontier models score it against the rubric. Use to measure a change to a skill or the text.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# arch-benchmark

Measure a subject against a rubric and report what the judges said.
The harness is `benchmark/run.py` in a checkout of the guideline
repository, and it is the only thing that runs a benchmark. Do not
compose a provider call by hand, and do not invent a flag: every flag
is in `benchmark/README.md`, and `uv run benchmark/run.py --help`
prints them.

## Where it runs

The current working directory must be a checkout of the guideline
repository: `architecture.md`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`,
`benchmark/run.py`, and `benchmark/README.md` all present. Check with
`ls` before anything else. Otherwise stop and say so: the benchmark
measures the checkout it runs from, and writes its run folders under
that checkout's `benchmark/runs/<scenario>/`. The copy at `../..`, from
this skill's folder as `realpath` resolves it, is the installed plugin,
not a checkout; never run the harness from there.

## Input

The arguments are one of:

- a scenario name, with or without flags ("explain-tenancy",
  "review-om with all four judges", "rehearse create-full-system",
  "create-full-system with extras"), or the path of a scenario file,
  which `--scenario` takes as it is;
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/arch-benchmark@sha256:91f17dc1a2ef0d7b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.3422014, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
