ken-gain skillA

ken-gain is agent-read markdown (skill) from rajnandan1/ken: Show ken's measured impact as a compact scoreboard, from ken's own benchmark results in benchmarks/results/. One-shot display, not a persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /ken-gain, "ken gain", "what does ken save", "show ken impact", "ken scoreboard"..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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

Latest version
mdr add rajnandan1/ken/ken-gain@git:20260826.e88374f
Exact content
mdr add rajnandan1/ken/ken-gain@sha256:617dc75b55da5a53

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
