DEC Bench Quickstart

Validate the user's setup and run their first benchmark scenario.

Step 1: Validate setup

Check that everything is in place before running:

1. Docker: run docker info — if it fails, tell the user to start Docker Desktop
2. CLI: run dec-bench list — if it fails, tell the user to install with curl -fsSL https://decbench.ai/install.sh | sh
3. Repo: check that scenarios/foo-bar-csv-ingest/scenario.json exists — if not, the user isn't in the repo root
4. API key: check that ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set (or OPENAI_API_KEY / CURSOR_API_KEY depending on which agent they want to use) — if not, ask them to export it

If anything is missing, tell the user exactly what to fix and stop. Don't proceed with a broken setup.

Step 2: Build and run

Once setup is validated, run the first scenario:

dec-bench build --scenario foo-bar-csv-ingest
dec-bench run --scenario foo-bar-csv-ingest

Step 3: Show results

dec-bench results --latest --scenario foo-bar-csv-ingest

Explain the output: which gate the agent reached, the normalized score, and where the artifacts are.

Done

The user has a working setup and their first result. Point them to:

• dec-bench list to see all available scenarios
• The dec-bench-run skill to run more scenarios
• The dec-bench-create-scenario skill to create their own
