| description | Show istm's measured impact as a compact scoreboard: less code, less cost, more speed, from the benchmark medians. One-shot display, not a persistent mode, and not a per-repo number. Trigger: /istm-gain, "istm gain", "what does istm save", "show istm impact", "istm scoreboard".

istm Gain
Display this scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag
files, or persist anything.
The figures are the published benchmark medians (5 everyday tasks: email
validator, debounce, CSV sum, countdown timer, rate limiter; three models:
Haiku, Sonnet, Opus). They are measured, not computed from the current repo.
Source: benchmarks/ and the README.
Scoreboard
Render plain ASCII bars. The bar length shows the measured range; the label
carries the exact figure:
istm gain benchmark median · 5 tasks · 3 models
Lines of code no-skill ████████████████████ 100%
istm ██▌················· 6–20% ▼ 80–94%
Cost no-skill ████████████████████ 100%
istm █████▌·············· 23–53% ▼ 47–77%
Speed istm ▸ 3–6× faster
This repo: /istm-debt (shortcuts you deferred)
/istm-audit (what's still cuttable)
Honesty boundary
These are benchmark medians, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings
number ("you saved X lines/tokens here"): the unbuilt version was never
written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. The
only real per-repo figures come from /istm-debt (a counted ledger), and
this card points there instead of inventing one.
Boundaries
One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode.
"stop istm" or "normal mode": revert.
