+## timing.json
+
+Wall clock timing for a run. Located at `<run-dir>/timing.json`.
+
+**How to capture:** When a subagent task completes, the task notification includes `total_tokens` and `duration_ms`. Save these immediately — they are not persisted anywhere else and cannot be recovered after the fact.

+```json

+    "Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Fields:**
+- `metadata`: Information about the benchmark run
+  - `skill_name`: Name of the skill
+  - `timestamp`: When the benchmark was run
+  - `evals_run`: List of eval names or IDs
+  - `runs_per_configuration`: Number of runs per config (e.g. 3)
+- `runs[]`: Individual run results
+  - `eval_id`: Numeric eval identifier
+  - `eval_name`: Human-readable eval name (used as section header in the viewer)
+  - `configuration`: Must be `"with_skill"` or `"without_skill"` (the viewer uses this exact string for grouping and color coding)
+  - `run_number`: Integer run number (1, 2, 3...)
+  - `result`: Nested object with `pass_rate`, `passed`, `total`, `time_seconds`, `tokens`, `errors`
+- `run_summary`: Statistical aggregates per configuration
+  - `with_skill` / `without_skill`: Each contains `pass_rate`, `time_seconds`, `tokens` objects with `mean` and `stddev` fields
+  - `delta`: Difference strings like `"+0.50"`, `"+13.0"`, `"+1700"`
+- `notes`: Freeform observations from the analyzer
+
+**Important:** The viewer reads these field names exactly. Using `config` instead of `configuration`, or putting `pass_rate` at the top level of a run instead of nested under `result`, will cause the viewer to show empty/zero values. Always reference this schema when generating benchmark.json manually.
