About honey-gain
Honey Gain is an agent skill for reporting reproducible benchmark results from committed records. It emphasizes per-task statistics, test pass rates, and separating measured findings from unsupported claims.
Key features
- 01Recomputes committed benchmark results
- 02Reports per-tier LOC and output deltas
- 03Includes p-values and test pass rates
- 04Distinguishes ties from wins
Use cases
- 01Summarizing benchmark outcomes by variant
- 02Checking whether a reported result is statistically supported
Install

Details
From the project READMEHoney Gain
Report the committed benchmark results — never a guessed or per-session number, and never an embedded copy that can drift from the bench.
Do
-
Recompute from the committed records at use time — don't recite from memory, and prefer the raw records over any rendered table (renderings go stale, the records don't):
cd bench && node src/report.js --stamp full-opus48 --by-typeOffline, no API spend. Swap
--stamp full-gpt55for the cross-provider figure, drop--by-typefor the whole suite. Hive handoff numbers →bench/hive/RESULTS.md. -
Report the tier table terse: Δ LOC and Δ output, each with its
p, judge as win/loss/tie, and the test pass-rate, per variant. The tier split is the finding — deepest on code and handoffs, output a statistical tie on user-facing (the polish carve-out). Lead with Δ LOC: it measures Lever 1 directly, while output tokens mix code with the prose around it, and the two come apart (Ponytail cuts lines but narrates at length).
Rules
- Never quote a delta without its p-value, and call
(ns)results ties, not wins. Every figure is a paired per-task median; a ratio of arm totals is not quotable. - Prose renderings (
bench/README.md,results/combined.md) are secondary. If one disagrees with a fresh--stamprecompute, the recompute wins — say the rendering is out of sync. - Quality is a tie, not a gain — that's the honest claim. Don't upgrade it.
- Cost/CO₂ savings are a modelled counterfactual, not measured; those belong to
honey-eco, which labels them. Don't state a dollar saving here. - Asked for numbers on this repo? The bench measures the skill on a fixed task suite,
not the user's codebase — offer
cd bench && npm run bench, don't extrapolate. - One honest caveat, once: 23 author-written tasks, judge noise — the objective test-pass column is the trustworthy correctness signal.
- Never resurrect the old unreproducible
92%/78%/73%/−57%/−65%/−70%numbers, or the superseded arm-total figures (−49%code,−15%aggregate) — seebench/METHODOLOGY.md.
