Skill Benchmark: nemo-automodel-distributed-training

✅ Overall verdict: PASS — Recommended for publication

Publication Recommendation

Recommended for publication based on the completed evaluation evidence in this report.

Evaluation Metadata

  • Skill: nemo-automodel-distributed-training
  • Evaluation date: 2026-07-31
  • Evaluator version: 0.9.2
  • Agents: Claude Code (aws/anthropic/bedrock-claude-opus-4-8), Codex (openai/openai/gpt-5.5)
  • Tasks: 3 evaluation tasks (3 positive)
  • Dataset digest: sha256:5a1d8d0db77adff7b1823958919deaac1b8ca472f0809af87c530be247ff8de0 (skill-evaluator-dataset-snapshot/1)
  • Attempts per task: 1
  • Environment: k8s-sandbox
  • 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 58% → 99% (+41 points) 67% → 92% (+24 points)
Security 83% → 100% (+17 points) 100% → 100% (±0 points)
Correctness 73% → 100% (+27 points) 100% → 100% (±0 points)
Discoverability 33% → 100% (+67 points) 50% → 94% (+44 points)
Effectiveness 69% → 96% (+27 points) 87% → 91% (+4 points)
Efficiency 32% → 100% (+68 points) 0% → 73% (+73 points)

How to read this table: baseline is the same task attempted without the target skill. Uplift is skill score - baseline score, shown in percentage points.

Example: 47% → 92% (+45 points) means the skill-assisted run scored 92%, 45 percentage points above its 47% no-skill baseline.

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 or skill usage? skill_efficiency (100%)
  • 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).
  • Token efficiency is a separate report-only signal. It does not change a dimension score or the overall verdict.

Signals present in this run:

  • security (Security): unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
  • skill_execution (Skill Execution): whether the expected skill was found and executed.
  • skill_efficiency (Efficiency): routing quality, workspace-aware skill reads, and productive tool use.
  • 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.
