# Herdr Benchmark Pane — side-by-side posture comparison
Benchmarking is only useful if the operator can see every arm running. This skill covers
laying out comparison arms in visible panes and collecting their output.
For **dispatching coding workers**, use the `herdr-dispatch` skill instead. This one is for
**measurement**.
---
## Hard rules
1. **Every arm is visible.** One pane per arm, all on screen together. An arm that ran
off-screen is not evidence anyone can check.
2. **Explicit `--cwd` on every split.** Prevents state leaking between arms.
3. **Never take over the controlling pane.** The orchestrator's pane stays the orchestrator's.
4. **Arms are priced separately, never averaged.** The doorless benchmark floor and the
doorful product floor are different objects (founder ruling V5-5) — do not fold one
into the other, and do not report a single blended "floor" number.
5. **Never report a measurement you did not take.** If an arm did not run, say it did not run.

## 0. Verify the environment
```bash
herdr status
```
Proceed only if `server.status: running`.

## 1. Paths
The checkout is at `/Users/marcotiongson/gaia-skill-heaven`. Door entrypoints:
```
packages/claude-zero/bin/claude-zero.mjs
packages/pi-zero/bin/pi-zero.mjs
packages/core/bin/skill-zero.mjs
```
Resolve these relative to the repo root rather than hardcoding an absolute path — the
checkout location has moved before and stale absolute paths silently break this skill.
