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

# Benchmaker design

Benchmaker builds a task-specific benchmark around a system's actual model, instructions, tools, orchestration and memory. It supplies an authoring process, admission criteria, an execution contract and a small standard-library kit of execution mechanics (capped process trees, concurrency, a resumable ledger, byte identity, staging, grading, statistics and a self-check) that each generated package copies. The kit is not a universal runner: tasks, environments, verifiers, references, judges and adapters stay each benchmark's own.

## A benchmark is not a test suite

A test suite checks that known behavior still works. A benchmark samples hard, valuable work and exists to separate systems that differ in an ability. That changes what matters. Tasks should take a capable practitioner substantial effort. Verifiers must accept every valid outcome and reject every shortcut. The suite as a whole must show headroom and discrimination, measured rather than asserted.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add danmcinerney/orchflows/example-workflows/benchmaker/DESIGN.md@sha256:0253147d84ef0e87

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.ec03795, 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.
