- NVSkills-Eval profile: `external`
- Environment: `astra-sandbox`
- Dataset: 5 evaluation tasks
- Attempts per task: 1
- Pass threshold: 50%

Underlying evaluation signals used in this run:

- No Tier 3 evaluation signal details were available in this report.
- `security` (Security): checks for unsafe operations, secret leakage, and unauthorized access.
- `skill_execution` (Skill Execution): verifies that the agent loaded the expected skill and workflow.
- `skill_efficiency` (Efficiency): checks routing quality, decoy avoidance, and redundant tool usage.
- `accuracy` (Accuracy): grades final-answer correctness against the reference answer.
- `goal_accuracy` (Goal Accuracy): checks whether the overall user task completed successfully.
- `behavior_check` (Behavior Check): verifies expected behavior steps, including safety expectations.
- `token_efficiency` (Token Efficiency): compares token usage with and without the skill.

## Test Tasks

Tier 3 evaluation task details were not available in this report.
The benchmark dataset contained 5 evaluation tasks:

- Positive tasks: 1 tasks where the skill was expected to activate.
- Negative tasks: 4 tasks where no skill was expected.
- Unlabeled tasks: 0 tasks where positive/negative intent could not be inferred.

Task composition is derived from the evaluation dataset when possible. Entries with `expected_skill` set are treated as positive skill-activation cases, while entries with `expected_skill: null` are treated as negative activation cases.

## Results

Tier 3 dimension rollup was not available in this report.
| Dimension | Num | `claude-code` | `codex` |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| Security | 5 | 100% (+0%) | 100% (+0%) |
| Correctness | 5 | 97% (+17%) | 97% (+10%) |
| Discoverability | 5 | 87% (+7%) | 93% (+0%) |
| Effectiveness | 5 | 98% (+17%) | 99% (+18%) |
| Efficiency | 5 | 82% (-1%) | 90% (+0%) |

Score values show skill-assisted performance. Values in parentheses show uplift versus the no-skill baseline when baseline data is available.

description: Iteratively optimize cuTile kernel performance through systematic profiling, bottleneck analysis, IR comparison, and targeted tuning. Covers tile sizes, occupancy, autotune configs, TMA, latency hints, persistent scheduling, num_ctas, flush_to_zero, and IR-level debugging. Use when asked to "optimize cutile kernel", "improve kernel perf", "tune cutile performance", "make kernel faster", or iteratively benchmark and refine a cuTile GPU kernel in the TileGym project.
