evaluate-scenarios SKILL.md skillA
evaluate-scenarios from zby/commonplace is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add zby/commonplace/evaluate-scenarios@git:20261023.f698aa9Pins git:20261023.f698aa9 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Measure framework overhead by decomposing scenarios into clean-context forks and reporting per-fork load plus aggregate cost.
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
## EXECUTE NOW **Target: $ARGUMENTS** Parse immediately: - empty → evaluate all scenarios in `tests/scenarios/` - a scenario name → evaluate only that scenario - `compare` → evaluate all and compare against a previous run if one exists This harness measures **operational overhead**: the framework instructions an agent must read on top of the task's own content. The unit is the **fork**, not the operation — every `cp-skill-*` runs `context: fork`, so each fork pays its overhead from a fresh context. See `kb/theory/feasibility-is-the-heaviest-forks-net-load.md` for the model. ### 1. Discover scenario files ```bash ls tests/scenarios/*.md ``` Read each scenario. Each has a `## Forks` section with one subsection per fork; each fork has a table of loads: `load | kind | source | hops`, where `kind` is `overhead`, `content`, or `spared`. ### 2. Config (override via $ARGUMENTS, e.g. `notesize=3000 candidates=4 budget=50000 agents_per_fork=on`) | Knob | Default | Meaning | |---|---|---| | `notesize` | 2,000 B | average note/body read | | `candidates` | 3 | content notes opened where a fork prospects bodies | …

How to install
mdr add zby/commonplace/evaluate-scenarios@sha256:26f62aa0cba5d7edThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.f698aa9, 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.
