Ran a real benchmarking mini-task (SaaS support function vs. peers): the skill version produced a Client/Peer-Median/Best-in-Class gap table with color-coding rules, a 4-category root-cause framework (process/people/technology/strategy), and an Impact-vs-Feasibility prioritization step that an unprompted baseline never generated on its own — genuinely more rigorous, not just longer.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Benchmarking does
Runs a full benchmarking analysis — scope definition, peer selection, data normalization, gap tables, 5-level maturity models, and root-cause/action templates — for comparing a company's performance against industry peers and best-in-class organizations. Triggers on 'benchmark,' 'peer comparison,' 'maturity assessment,' and 'gap analysis' requests. Ships with two solid reference files: a real benchmarking data-source directory (APQC, Hackett, Gartner, McKinsey) and five worked maturity-model templates.
How to install Benchmarking
git clone https://github.com/abinauv/business-consulting
cd business-consulting
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/benchmarking ~/.claude/skills/benchmarking
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Benchmarking
-
/benchmarkingStructured peer/best-in-class benchmarking methodology with metric tables, maturity models, and a sourced data directory
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Benchmark our support function against industry peers and find the top gaps -
I need a maturity model comparing us to best-in-class companies in our space -
Build a gap analysis table for our ops metrics versus peer medians
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Benchmarking skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from abinauv/business-consulting. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Benchmarking work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran a real benchmarking mini-task (SaaS support function vs. peers): the skill version produced a Client/Peer-Median/Best-in-Class gap table with color-coding rules, a 4-category root-cause framework (process/people/technology/strategy), and an Impact-vs-Feasibility prioritization step that an unprompted baseline never generated on its own — genuinely more rigorous, not just longer.
- What is the Benchmarking SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Benchmarking?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Benchmarking with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
