How to measure and prove z88dk library changes: z88dk-ticks TIMER/hotspots, map/nm proof, suite gates, A/B library swaps, math32 multi-CPU rebuilds, classic +test benchmarks, wiki number paste rules. Use when optimising, explaining deltas, or running +test -clib=8085 benches.

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

# Methodology — measure, A/B, benches

This skill covers **host tools** used with z88dk when writing or optimising
8085 (and portable 8080/gbz80) library code. Opcode and coding rules stay in
**`cpu-8085`**; here the focus is *how to prove*
what is slow, what changed, and what is correct — plus how **`z88dk-copt`**
shapes compiler output and what library authors must do by hand.

Assume a built z88dk tree with `bin/` on `PATH` and `ZCCCFG` pointing at
`lib/config` (see env below).

---

## Environment (always set)

```bash
export PATH=/path/to/z88dk/bin:$PATH
export ZCCCFG=/path/to/z88dk/lib/config
```

Rebuild only what you touch (example: classic 8085 runtime object + crt0 lib):

```bash
# after editing libsrc/l/sccz80/7-8085/...
rm -f libsrc/classic/z80_crt0s/obj/8085/l/sccz80/7-8085/.../file.o
rm -f libsrc/classic/z80_crt0s/obj/8085-crt0
make -C libsrc/classic/z80_crt0s obj/8085-crt0
# relink and install crt0
(cd libsrc && TYPE=8085 z88dk-z80asm -d -I"$ZCCCFG/.." -m8085 \
  -DSTANDARDESCAPECHARS -x8085_crt0 @classic/8085.lst)
cp -f libsrc/8085_crt0.lib lib/clibs/
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add feilipu/8085-skills/methodology-measure@sha256:82a770258752a575

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.10fa9ce, 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.
