}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Workflow: Run Benchmark
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Load Agent Configuration
|
|
|
|
**Read registry file:** `~/.agent-benchmarks/registry.yml`
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
agents:
|
|
seo-specialist:
|
|
name: "seo-specialist"
|
|
location: "marketing"
|
|
test_suite: "~/.agent-benchmarks/seo-specialist/"
|
|
baseline_score: 88
|
|
target_score: 90
|
|
status: "production"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Load test suite:**
|
|
- Read `test-cases/TEST-METADATA.md` for test list
|
|
- Read `METRICS.md` for scoring rubric
|
|
- Read `performance-history.json` for past runs
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Execute Each Test
|
|
|
|
**For each test case in the suite:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Read test file**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat ~/.agent-benchmarks/seo-specialist/test-cases/01-mediocre-content.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Invoke agent under test**
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Use Task tool to invoke the agent:
|
|
|
|
Agent: seo-specialist
|
|
Prompt: "Audit this blog post for SEO optimization: [test file content]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Capture agent output**
|
|
```
|
|
Agent response:
|
|
"Score: 35/100. Issues found: thin content (450 words),
|
|
missing meta description, weak introduction..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Read ground truth**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat ~/.agent-benchmarks/seo-specialist/ground-truth/01-expected.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. **Invoke benchmark-judge**
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Use Task tool to invoke benchmark-judge:
|
|
|
|
Agent: benchmark-judge
|
|
Input:
|
|
- Agent output: [captured response]
|
|
- Ground truth: [JSON from file]
|
|
- Rubric: [from METRICS.md]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. **Record result**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"test_id": "test-01",
|
|
"score": 82,
|
|
"status": "pass",
|
|
"judge_feedback": {...}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Calculate Overall Score
|
|
|
|
**Aggregate individual test scores:**
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
tests = [
|
|
{ id: "test-01", score: 82 },
|
|
{ id: "test-02", score: 96 },
|
|
{ id: "test-03", score: 92 }
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
overall_score = average(tests.map(t => t.score))
|
|
// = (82 + 96 + 92) / 3 = 90
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Compare to baseline:**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
baseline = 88
|
|
current = 90
|
|
improvement = current - baseline // +2
|
|
improvement_pct = (improvement / baseline) * 100 // +2.3%
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Determine trend:**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
if (current > baseline + 2) {
|
|
trend = "improving"
|
|
} else if (current < baseline - 2) {
|
|
trend = "regressing"
|
|
} else {
|
|
trend = "stable"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Update Performance History
|
|
|
|
**Append to `performance-history.json`:**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"seo-specialist": {
|
|
"baseline": {
|
|
"version": "v1",
|
|
"score": 88,
|
|
"date": "2025-11-01"
|
|
},
|
|
"current": {
|
|
"version": "v2",
|
|

|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Prompt Changes Applied (v1 → v2)
|
|
|
|
**Changes:**
|
|
1. Added scoring calibration guidelines
|
|
- Effect: Reduced harsh scoring on mediocre content (+8 pts on Test #01)
|
|

|
---
|
|
|
|
## Test Rotation Analysis
|
|
|
|
**Current test performance:**
|
|
- Test #01: 82/100 (still challenging ✓)
|
|
- Test #02: 96/100 (high but not perfect ✓)
|

|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:** No rotation needed yet
|
|
|
|
**When to rotate:**
|
|
- All tests scoring 95+ for 2+ consecutive runs
|
|
- Add: Test #04 (long-form listicle, 2000+ words)
|
|
|

## Performance History
|
|
|
|
| Run | Date | Version | Score | Trend |
|
|
|-----|------|---------|-------|-------|
|
|
| run-001 | 2025-11-01 | v1 | 88/100 | Baseline |
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Report generated:** 2025-11-09 14:30:00 UTC
|
|
**Next benchmark:** 2025-11-16 (weekly schedule)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Test Rotation Logic
|
|
|
|
### When to Add New Tests
|
|
|
|
**Trigger 1: Agent scoring too high**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
if (all_tests_score >= 95 && consecutive_runs >= 2) {
|
|
suggest_new_test = true
|
|
reason = "Agent mastering current tests, needs more challenge"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Trigger 2: Real-world failure discovered**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
if (production_failure_detected) {
|
|
create_regression_test = true
|
|
reason = "Prevent same issue in future"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Trigger 3: New feature added**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
if (agent_capabilities_expanded) {
|
|
suggest_coverage_test = true
|
|
reason = "New functionality needs coverage"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### When to Retire Tests
|
|
|
|
**Trigger: Test mastered**
|
|
```javascript
|
|
if (test_score === 100 && consecutive_runs >= 3) {
|
|
suggest_retirement = true
|
|
reason = "Agent has mastered this test, no longer challenging"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Action:**
|
|
- Move test to `retired/` directory
|
|
- Keep in history for reference
|
|
- Can reactivate if regression occurs
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Test Suggestion Examples
|
|
|
|
**Example 1: Agent scoring 95+ on all tests**
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
## Test Rotation Suggestion
|
|
|
|
**Current performance:**
|
|
- Test #01: 95/100
|
|
- Test #02: 96/100
|
|
- Test #03: 97/100
|
|
|
|
**Analysis:** Agent consistently scoring 95+ across all tests.
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:** Add Test #04
|
|
|
|
**Suggested test:** Long-form listicle (2000+ words)
|
|
|
|
**Rationale:**
|
|
- Current tests max out at ~900 words
|
|
- Need to test SEO optimization on longer content
|
|
- Listicle format has unique SEO challenges (multiple H2s, featured snippets)
|
|
|
|
**Expected challenge:**
|
|
- Keyword distribution across long content
|
|
- Maintaining density without stuffing
|
|
- Optimizing for featured snippet extraction
|
|
|
|
**Accept suggestion?** (yes/no)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example 2: Production failure**
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
## Regression Test Needed
|
|
|
|
**Production issue detected:** 2025-11-08
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Agent approved blog post with broken internal links (404 errors)
|
|
|
|
**Impact:** 3 published posts had broken links before discovery
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:** Create Test #06 - Broken Internal Links
|
|
|
|
**Test design:**
|
|
- Blog post with 5 internal links
|
|
- 2 links are broken (404)
|
|
- 3 links are valid
|
|
|
|
**Expected behavior:**
|
|
- Agent detects broken links
|
|
- Provides specific URLs that are broken
|
|
- Suggests fix or removal
|
|
|
|
**Priority:** HIGH (production issue)
|
|
|
|
**Create test?** (yes/no)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Workflow: Run All Agents
|
|
|
|
When user executes `/benchmark-agent --all`:
|
|
|
|
1. **Load registry**
|
|
- Get list of all agents
|
|
- Filter by category if specified (--marketing, --tech)
|
|
|
|
2. **For each agent:**
|
|
- Run full benchmark workflow (Steps 1-5 above)
|
|
- Collect results
|
|
|
|
3. **Generate summary report:**
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
# Benchmark Results: All Agents
|
|
|
|
**Run date:** 2025-11-09
|

## Real-World Impact
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Fewer false alarms (doesn't block good content)
|
|
- Better guidance on mediocre content (more specific recommendations)
|
|
- Reliable spam detection (catches over-optimization)
|
|
|
|
**Use case:** Automated SEO auditing for BrandCast blog posts

|
## Performance Optimization
|
|
|
|
### Parallel Test Execution (future enhancement)
|
|
|
|
**Current:** Sequential (test-01 → test-02 → test-03)
|
|
**Future:** Parallel (all tests at once)
|
|
|
|
**Speed improvement:** ~3x faster
|
|
**Implementation:** Multiple Task tool calls in parallel
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Caching (future enhancement)
|
|
|
|
**Cache judge evaluations** for identical inputs:
|
|
- Same agent output + same ground truth = same score
|
|
- Skip re-evaluation if already scored
|
|
- Useful for iterating on rubrics
|
|
