What

Adds an optional migration benchmarking capability to the skill and gives the README a terminal-forward refresh.

Stacked on #1. Base is docs/readme-opus-4-8-launch so this PR shows only the benchmarking + README-revamp diff. Merge #1 first; GitHub will retarget this to main automatically.

Benchmarking feature

Opt-in, asked once in Phase 0. Measures the migration with three arms on the same eval set so the model delta and the skill's value are attributed separately:

Arm Config Captured Isolates
A — baseline old model + old prompts Phase 0 (pre-edit) starting point
B — naive swap new model + old prompts mid Phase 4 raw model delta
C — enhanced new model + enhanced system Phase 5 skill's added value
  • New references/benchmarking.md — dimensions (quality, output-contract, tool-calling, latency, cost, safety, robustness), composite scoring, honesty rules, leaderboard format.
  • SKILL.md — opt-in input, per-phase capture points, optional Benchmark Results report section, new anti-patterns, checklist item.
  • examples/example-output.md — filled three-arm leaderboard (labelled illustrative).
  • scripts/validate_skill.py — requires the new doc.

README

  • Terminal-style hero session replacing the bland Problem/Solution prose.
  • New "Benchmark your migration" section + leaderboard; benchmark threaded into the feature table, expected-output list, repo structure, and roadmap.

Honesty note

All benchmark numbers in the docs are illustrative and labelled as such. The pattern shown (naive swap regresses output-contract/tool-calling, enhanced arm recovers them) is the documented effect of literal instruction following + retokenization; latency and cost are described as measured-not-assumed.

Validation

  • python3 scripts/validate_skill.py . → valid
  • markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" → 0 errors (25 files)
  • All three leaderboard tables verified byte-identical and border-aligned; ASCII uses width-safe glyphs only.

Add an optional, opt-in benchmarking capability that quantifies a migration
with measured evidence instead of assertions.

Skill changes:
- Ask once in Phase 0 whether the user wants pre/post benchmark stats in the
  evidence report; capturing the baseline later is impossible, so it is gated
  up front.
- Three-arm methodology wired into the existing phase boundaries:
  - Arm A (baseline: old model + old prompts) captured in Phase 0, pre-edit
  - Arm B (naive swap: new model + old prompts) captured mid Phase 4, after
    runtime edits but before prompt tuning -- the honest raw-model control
  - Arm C (new model + enhanced system) captured in Phase 5
- New references/benchmarking.md: dimensions (quality, output-contract, tool
  calling, latency, cost, safety, robustness), composite scoring, honesty
  rules, and leaderboard format.
- Phase 6 report gains an optional Benchmark Results section; anti-patterns and
  the validation checklist updated; validate_skill.py now requires the new doc.
- examples/example-output.md shows a filled three-arm leaderboard (clearly
  labelled illustrative).

README:
- Replace the bland Problem/Solution prose with a terminal-style hero session
  contrasting the naive find/replace swap with the ModelPort migration.
- New "Benchmark your migration" section with an illustrative leaderboard and a
  link to the methodology; benchmark added to the feature table, why-teams
  list, expected-output list, repo structure, and roadmap.

All benchmark numbers in docs are illustrative and labelled as such; latency and
cost are described as measured-not-assumed. validate_skill.py passes and
markdownlint is clean across all 25 markdown files.
The borderless hero session had unequal prefix padding, so the inline
comment markers and the ✓/x columns drifted out of alignment when rendered.
Pad to fixed columns: comment markers at col 32, the three status columns
at 2 / 26 / 48.
