Compare Claude Code and Codex on the same code task, with isolated worktrees, common checks, time, and cost.

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

# AI agent bench

Compare agents only with the same task, starting commit, and outcome check. The harness preserves result branches and removes temporary worktrees.

Create `<repo>/.agent-bench.toml`:

```toml
prompt = "prompts/task.md"
start_branch = "main"              # or start_commit
agents = ["claude", "codex"]
outer_check = "./scripts/full_check.sh"
inner_check = "uv run pytest tests/integration/test_x.py -q"
```

`outer_check` proves the real outcome before and after, and measures wall time. `inner_check` gives agents fast feedback.

Require a clean repo, available CLIs, and a passing `outer_check`. Confirm agents and run ID, then run trials sequentially to avoid load-biased timing:

```bash
uv run python <skill>/scripts/run_trial.py --repo "$REPO" --config "$REPO/.agent-bench.toml" --agent "$AGENT" --run "$RUN_ID"
```

Results go to `eval-results/<task>/<agent>/run-<id>-<timestamp>/`. Record unexpected behavior in `ai-agent-bench-anomalies.md` per [anomalies](references/anomalies.md).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add reidemeister94/development-skills/ai-agent-bench@sha256:000f291fe9127b2b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.a9f7da5, 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.
