Run Skill Heaven benchmark probes and side-by-side posture comparisons in visible Herdr panes. Use whenever comparing postures (floor, product-floor, curated, native), doors (claude-zero, pi-zero, codex-zero), or harnesses, and the operator must be able to watch every arm run.

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

# Herdr Benchmark Pane — side-by-side posture comparison

Benchmarking is only useful if the operator can see every arm running. This skill covers
laying out comparison arms in visible panes and collecting their output.

For **dispatching coding workers**, use the `herdr-dispatch` skill instead. This one is for
**measurement**.

---

## Hard rules

1. **Every arm is visible.** One pane per arm, all on screen together. An arm that ran
   off-screen is not evidence anyone can check.
2. **Explicit `--cwd` on every split.** Prevents state leaking between arms.
3. **Never take over the controlling pane.** The orchestrator's pane stays the orchestrator's.
4. **Arms are priced separately, never averaged.** The doorless benchmark floor and the
   doorful product floor are different objects (founder ruling V5-5) — do not fold one
   into the other, and do not report a single blended "floor" number.
5. **Never report a measurement you did not take.** If an arm did not run, say it did not run.

## 0. Verify the environment

```bash
herdr status
```

Proceed only if `server.status: running`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gaia-research/gaia-skill-heaven/herdr-benchmark-pane@sha256:714d6da636891596

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.ae24947, 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.
