description: Guide or validate addition of a new stored reference benchmark.

# /benchmark-add

## Preflight

- Read `/AGENTS.md`, `/PROGRESS.md`, `/PLAN.md`, `/docs/VERIFICATION_PLAN.md`, `/docs/RESULTS_SCHEMA.md`, and `/docs/ABAQUS_INPUT_SUBSET.md`.
- Use `$fesa-reference-onboarding` when available.
- Do not run Abaqus locally.

## Task

- Help organize the benchmark input, solved reference values such as `*_displacements.csv`, tolerance metadata, unit notes, result fields, and provenance.
- Check that Abaqus keywords are within the Phase 1 subset or explicitly documented as unsupported.
- Ensure comparison values can be tied to step/frame/field/history result paths.

## Verification

- Parse any JSON metadata if present.
- For `*_displacements.csv`, check the required Abaqus displacement/rotation columns.
- Run `python scripts/validate_workspace.py` when files are changed.

## Result

- **Action**: added or validated benchmark artifact
- **Status**: ready | partial | blocked
- **Details**: benchmark name, files, missing metadata, and validation result
