Measure an AI agent's per-session performance on a small, stable metric set and track it as a trend over a long run, so you can tell whether a change — a new model version, a new operating frame/scaffolding, a new skill set — actually improved the agent or regressed it. Use this whenever someone wants to benchmark, score, grade, or track an agent's performance across sessions; compare two agent versions or frames; build a "did this change help?" scorecard; or turn a finished session into a…

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

# Session measurement — agent performance benchmark

> **For any AI agent reading this file.** The frontmatter uses Claude's skill format; the
> body is plain markdown. It works the same for Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Cursor, Cline, Aider,
> or a local model — paste the body in as a prompt if your platform has no skill system.
> Assume **nothing** about your host's capabilities; everything here degrades gracefully.

You turn a finished agent **session** into a row of objective counts, record it in a
running **trend table**, and append it to a persistent log. Do this every session and the
trend tells you, over a long run, whether the agent is getting better or worse as its
model / frame / skills change.

**The canonical output is a plain-markdown trend table** — no code execution, no
dependencies, works for literally any agent (even one that can't run code). A polished
chart image is an *optional* add-on for hosts that can render one; it's presentation, not
the measurement. So the irreplaceable core of this skill is the **metric frame + the
counting disciplines + the data**, not any particular renderer.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jovesun-lab/whetstone/session-measurement@sha256:96b20ee607fac422

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.a3d59c6, 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.
