Skill-library utility curve (measured, N=1..10000)

The measured Utility-Problem curve behind the Skill Runtime note: naive-scan vs indexed matching cost as the library grows.

Purpose

Show where naive scanning stops being viable and indexing is required.

Source

A skill-runtime matching probe on Apple Silicon using a model-free synthetic harness, median of 5 reps, measured 2026-06-13.

Composition

CSV, 8 rows. Fields: N, naive_scan_match_us, indexed_match_us, re_derive_wall_us, candidates_scanned, candidates_idx_visited. N in {1,10,100,1000,2000,5000,8000,10000}.

Known biases

  • A synthetic harness rather than a real model, so absolute speedups differ from real-model runs.

Limitations

  • Single machine; µs wall-clock point measurements.

Access conditions
