Create and launch benchmark test projects to exercise vercel-plugin skill injection across realistic scenarios.

What it does

Benchmark Testing is an agent skill from vercel/vercel-plugin, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create and launch benchmark test projects to exercise vercel-plugin skill injection across realistic scenarios. Sets up isolated directories, installs the plugin, and spawns WezTerm panes running Claude Code with crafted prompts.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Vercel, Next.js and Vercel AI SDK. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive Vercel ecosystem plugin — relational knowledge graph, skills for every major product, specialized agents, and Vercel conventions. Turns any AI agent into a Vercel…

Example prompts

  • “/benchmark-testing”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Create test directories
  2. Install the plugin in each directory
  3. Launch Claude Code in WezTerm panes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82fa491. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Benchmark Testing loads about 946 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~946

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 374 words (~946 tokens).

“Create isolated test projects that exercise vercel-plugin skill injection with realistic, technology-agnostic prompts.”

How do I install Benchmark Testing in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add vercel/vercel-plugin --skill benchmark-testing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/benchmark-testing in vercel/vercel-plugin) into .claude/skills/benchmark-testing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Benchmark Testing in Codex?

Run `npx skills add vercel/vercel-plugin --skill benchmark-testing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/benchmark-testing in vercel/vercel-plugin) into .agents/skills/benchmark-testing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Benchmark Testing 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 vercel/vercel-plugin --skill benchmark-testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/benchmark-testing, .gemini/skills/benchmark-testing, .github/skills/benchmark-testing and .opencode/skills/benchmark-testing in your project.

What does Benchmark Testing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Benchmark Testing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Benchmark Testing access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
