Internal benchmark of this repository. It takes a small real project, drives a weaker agent (OpenCode in tmux, as a puppet) through the YesYak process to build a feature or fix a bug, acting as the human user, then scores the run, records it in bench/LOG.md, turns the confirmed findings into skill changes and cuts a release. Use it whenever the user asks to run the benchmark, repeat it, "otra vuelta", test YesYak on a project, measure the process, or apply what the last runs found.

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

# Yak bench

The goal is always to improve YesYak. A run is evidence; a skill change is the result.

This skill belongs to this repository only. It is not in `skills/`, so `install.sh` never copies it to other projects.

## Roles

- **You are the human.** You choose the project and the task, answer the agent's questions, approve or reject, and correct it when a real user would. You never do its work, never edit its files, and never name a skill or a step that a real user would not name.
- **The puppet** is OpenCode with a cheaper model, or Claude Code (`turn-claude.sh`) when the user asks for it. It sees only the project and a frozen copy of `skills/`: no global skills, plugins, MCP servers or CLAUDE.md (`turn.sh` isolates it). A weaker model shows where the skills are not clear enough.

## Tools

All in `scripts/`. Runs live in `.scratchpad/bench/<run-id>/` of this repository (ignored by git). The clone itself lives in `/Users/Shared/yak-bench/<run-id>` and `repo` links to it: OpenCode reads `.agents/skills` in every parent folder, so a clone inside the user's home would see the user's own skills.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add webreactiva/yesyak/yak-bench@sha256:f42f005a80615431

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.4afff19, 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.
