8-fold zero-shot skill-transfer pilot (transfer_eval_v1, merged via skillberry-ai#421 into skillsbench-history) had no dashboard record. Each row is one train->test fold (not a SkillsBench task); reward_baseline/reward_opt show the target task's own native seed vs. the transferred donor skill's score on it, per the source summary's own comparison of interest -- cap-evolve's own per-fold test_delta is always 0.0 by construction under --max-iterations 0 and would be meaningless here.

Adds the missing dashboard record for the zero-shot skill-transfer pilot (
transfer_eval_v1), whose raw results were already merged via #421 intoskillsbench-history(results/transfer-eval-8fold/) but never surfaced on the benchmarks page.tasks[]row is one train→test fold (named<train>→<test>), not a SkillsBench task.reward_baseline/reward_optintentionally do not reproduce cap-evolve's own per-foldtest_delta(always0.0by construction under--max-iterations 0— the frozen donor skill is the only artifact evaluated, so it's compared against itself). Instead they show the comparison the source summary actually makes: the target task's own native seed vs. the transferred skill's score on it.experiment: "transfer-eval-8fold"(using thetier/experimentsplit from bench: record skillsbench task-by-task-87 sweep #456/site(benchmarks): derive Benchmark/Type/Experiment filters, add Experiment column #457),tier: "full",iterations: 0,optimizer_model: "none"— no optimizer loop, pure evaluation.benchmarks.json/meta.jsonregenerated viaci/benchmarks/lib/record.py aggregate.Net effect across the 8 folds is a regression (0.2125 → 0.1625): transfer gives a small lift only where the native seed was near zero, and hurts where the target already had a strong seed.
