At a glance

A skill your agent uses when calculating control system performance metrics such as rise time, overshoot percentage, steady-state error, or settling time for evaluating simulation results.

  • Calculating control system performance metrics such as rise time
  • SKILL.md covers Rise Time, Overshoot, Steady-State Error and Settling Time, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Overshoot percentage

What it does

Simulation Metrics is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. Use this skill when calculating control system performance metrics such as rise time, overshoot percentage, steady-state error, or settling time for evaluating simulation results.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting. The repository describes itself as: SkillsBench evaluates how well skills work and how effective agents are at using them. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Calculating control system performance metrics such as rise time
  • Overshoot percentage
  • Steady-state error
  • Settling time for evaluating simulation results

Example prompts

  • “/simulation-metrics”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Simulation Metrics loads about 540 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 46 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~540

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Control System Performance Metrics

Rise Time

Time for system to go from 10% to 90% of target value.

python
def rise_time(times, values, target):
    """Calculate rise time (10% to 90% of target)."""
    t10 = t90 = None

    for t, v in zip(times, values):
        if t10 is None and v >= 0.1 * target:
            t10 = t
        if t90 is None and v >= 0.9 * target:
            t90 = t
            break

    if t10 is not None and t90 is not None:
        return t90 - t10
    return None

Overshoot

How much response exceeds target, as percentage.

python
def overshoot_percent(values, target):
    """Calculate overshoot percentage."""
    max_val = max(values)
    if max_val <= target:
        return 0.0
    return ((max_val - target) / target) * 100

Steady-State Error

Difference between target and final settled value.

python
def steady_state_error(values, target, final_fraction=0.1):
    """Calculate steady-state error using final portion of data."""
    n = len(values)
    start = int(n * (1 - final_fraction))
    final_avg = sum(values[start:]) / len(values[start:])
    return abs(target - final_avg)

Settling Time

Time to stay within tolerance band of target.

python
def settling_time(times, values, target, tolerance=0.02):
    """Time to settle within tolerance of target."""
    band = target * tolerance
    lower, upper = target - band, target + band

    settled_at = None
    for t, v in zip(times, values):
        if v < lower or v > upper:
            settled_at = None
        elif settled_at is None:
            settled_at = t

    return settled_at

Usage

python
times = [row['time'] for row in results]
values = [row['value'] for row in results]
target = 30.0

print(f"Rise time: {rise_time(times, values, target)}")
print(f"Overshoot: {overshoot_percent(values, target)}%")
print(f"SS Error: {steady_state_error(values, target)}")

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Simulation Metrics in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill simulation-metrics -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/simulation-metrics, .gemini/skills/simulation-metrics, .github/skills/simulation-metrics and .opencode/skills/simulation-metrics in your project.

What does Simulation Metrics need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Simulation Metrics is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Simulation Metrics access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
