role-shortlist handles a few pasted blurbs and "just the top two". It answers with the picks and a line or two on the rest, with no empty "Not read" or "Closed or duplicate" groups, and an item a posting calls preferred, desirable or a plus no longer rules a role out. On two new evals written by someone who never read the skill, two blind judges preferred it to plain Claude Code in 3 and 2 of 4 pairs, up from 3 and 1 (RFC-0047).
The light and heavy tiers resolve to Claude Haiku 5.5 and Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, up from Haiku 4.5 and Opus 5, so the model-router agent and route.py pick the current models.
The benchmark has run on the light and heavy tiers. On the 224 held-out evals, a skill on Haiku 5.5 meets 83% of its checks and on Opus 5.5 85%, at about a twenty-seventh of the cost; light came within 5 points of heavy for 61 of 97 skills, including 9 of the 13 assigned heavy. Blind, the plain agent was preferred on both tiers: the skill won 41% and 48% of pairs on Haiku 5.5, and 31% with both judges on Opus 5.5. No tier was changed; the account is in What the benchmark showed and the summary in docs/benchmarks/tiers.json.
run_bench.py prices a model Claude Code has no price for yet from its own table, instead of the placeholder rate Claude Code reports, so a new model's dollars per run are list price.
