Skill Benchmark: accelerated-computing-cudf

⚠️ Overall verdict: INCOMPLETE — Required evidence is missing

One or more required evaluation tiers did not complete, so this benchmark is not publication-complete.

Evaluation Metadata

  • Skill: accelerated-computing-cudf
  • Evaluation date: 2026-09-11
  • Evaluator version: 1.5.6
  • Agents: Claude Code (aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8), Codex (openai/openai/gpt-5.5)
  • Tasks: 13 evaluation tasks (12 positive, 1 negative)
  • Dataset digest: sha256:307ff81fa3f0d04ee89889dcedc5ac0208fc0eb5dba112e1c8ed515a08fa3ba9 (skill-evaluator-dataset-snapshot/1)
  • Attempts per task: 3
  • Environment: k8s-sandbox
  • Tier 2 evidence: required for publication
  • Tier 3 evidence: required for publication

Each task attempt ran in its own isolated sandbox pod.

What This Report Answers

The three-tier evaluation checks whether the skill:

  • is safe to use;
  • produces correct answers;
  • is discovered and activated when needed;
  • helps the agent complete the user's goal and expected workflow; and
  • avoids wasted skill and tool usage.

Results at a Glance

Measure Claude Code (Baseline → Skill Uplift) Codex (Baseline → Skill Uplift)
Overall Not available 84.7% — baseline ran, but no comparable score was available; uplift unavailable
Security Not available 76.9% → 69.2% (-7.7 points)
Correctness Not available 100.0% → 100.0% (±0.0 points)
Discoverability Not available 81.3% — baseline ran, but no comparable score was available; uplift unavailable
Effectiveness Not available 94.4% → 90.9% (-3.5 points)
Efficiency Not available 82.3% — baseline ran, but no comparable score was available; uplift unavailable

How to read this table: baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Scores are rounded to one decimal; threshold-adjacent values use additional precision so their displayed band matches the verdict. Uplift is derived from those displayed scores and shown in percentage points.

Example: 47.0% → 92.0% (+45.0 points) means the skill-assisted run scored 92.0%, 45.0 percentage points above its 47.0% no-skill baseline.

A partial dimension was calculated from only the available configured signals; review the detailed report before relying on it.

Prompt tokens include cached reads, so total tokens are prompt + completion (cached is not added twice). The Efficiency score uses (prompt - cached) + completion. N/A means the relevant trajectory counters were not available; coverage is never estimated.

Scoring Methodology

<details> <summary>Show dimension definitions, source signals, and thresholds</summary>
Dimension Question Scored signals
Security Is it safe to use? security (100%)
Correctness Is the answer correct? accuracy (100%)
Discoverability Was the right skill loaded when needed? skill_execution (100%)
Effectiveness Did the skill help complete the task? goal_accuracy (50%) + behavior_check (50%)
Efficiency Did it avoid wasted tool calls and token usage? skill_efficiency (50%) + token_efficiency (50%)
  • Dimension bands: PASS at 50% or above; NEUTRAL from 40% to below 50%; FAIL below 40%.
  • Overall Tier 3 lift: PASS at +5 points or more; FAIL at -10 points or less; values between those bands are NEUTRAL.
  • Overall verdict: PASS only when every configured dimension passes for at least one supported agent. Lift is reported as diagnostic evidence and does not override this gate.
  • The 50% attempt pass threshold is a separate per-task gate; it is not the dimension pass threshold.
  • Effectiveness is the equal-weight mean of goal completion (goal_accuracy) and expected workflow adherence (behavior_check).
  • Efficiency is 50% tool-call productivity (the backward-compatible skill_efficiency wire id) and 50% token_efficiency. Positive-case skill routing is scored under Discoverability, not Efficiency; a negative case without a routing target is N/A. N/A sources are omitted, remaining weights are renormalized, and the dimension is marked partial.

Signals present in this run:

  • security (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
  • skill_execution (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was selected, decoys were avoided, and the workflow executed.
  • skill_efficiency (Tool Productivity): tool-call productivity (legacy wire id; routing is scored under Discoverability).
  • accuracy (Accuracy): final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
  • goal_accuracy (Goal Accuracy): whether the user's goal was achieved.
  • behavior_check (Behavior Check): whether the expected workflow behavior was followed.
  • token_efficiency (Token Efficiency): actual uncached prompt plus completion usage (50% of Efficiency).
