Show ken measured impact as a scoreboard from its own benchmark results. Honest empty state when none exist. One-shot display.

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

# Ken Gain

Display the scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag
files, or persist anything.

## Source of truth

The only figures this card may show are medians from ken's own runs recorded
in `benchmarks/results/` of the ken repo. Render the recorded figures as plain
ASCII bars (bar length = measured range, label = exact figure).

If `benchmarks/results/` has no ken results yet, print:

```
  ken gain: no measured numbers yet.

  Nothing is claimed that wasn't measured. Run the harness in benchmarks/
  (see benchmarks/README.md; needs API keys in .env) to produce the first
  real entry.

  This repo, today:  /ken-debt  (the counted ceilings ledger)
                     /ken-audit (what's rewritable right now)
```

## Honesty boundary

Figures are benchmark medians, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings
number ("you saved X lines/tokens here"): the unbuilt version was never
written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. The
only real per-repo figures come from `/ken-debt` (a counted ledger), and
this card points there instead of inventing one. Never render another
project's numbers as ken's.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rajnandan1/ken/ken-gain@sha256:4689e97901910277

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.e88374f, 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.
