compare-model-sweep SKILL.md skillA

compare-model-sweep from understudylabs/orchestra-agent-tools is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add understudylabs/orchestra-agent-tools/compare-model-sweep@git:20261027.533318e

Pins git:20261027.533318e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a developer wants to compare candidate models — any mix of local, gateway, or frontier — on the same eval and see quality, latency, cost, and reliability side by side. "Which model should I use", "sweep these models on my benchmark", "compare Gemma vs the frontier on my eval". To stand up and serve a local candidate first, use run-local-model-lab.

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

# Compare Model Sweep

Use this worker when the question is not "can one model pass this eval?" but
"which candidate sits on the useful frontier for this workload?" The skill runs
one frozen harness across a candidate matrix, records each run, and emits a
decision-ready Pareto report an agent can use for route decisions.

Prefer this after [`../understand-workload/SKILL.md`](../understand-workload/SKILL.md),
[`../optimize-agentic-workload/SKILL.md`](../optimize-agentic-workload/SKILL.md), or
[`../run-local-model-lab/SKILL.md`](../run-local-model-lab/SKILL.md) has already
identified a resettable eval and a first local candidate.

## Safety Gates

Launching a named bounded sweep authorizes its declared provider calls, uploads,
benchmark rows, evaluation, receipts, and cleanup. Ask again only if the sweep
expands its displayed data, destination, spend, retention, download, or
production-impact envelope. Never place private traces or customer data in a
public sweep report.

Recommend a candidate matrix sized to resolve the objective, including a strong
anchor when it could change the decision. Present expected spend and wall-clock
before the run and follow
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add understudylabs/orchestra-agent-tools/compare-model-sweep@sha256:3b12eefd071e7942

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.533318e, 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.
