create-perf-test

create-perf-test is a skill for Claude Code from Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust. It costs 10 tokens per session (767 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for adding a performance test to an Azure Rust SDK crate. Performance tests measure how quickly or efficiently code runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a named performance test, register it with Cargo, and add the service-specific files needed to run it.
Why use it?
It removes the need to work out the required files, configuration, and test runner by hand.

About the project

Azure SDK for Rust is a collection of Rust libraries, organized as separate crates, for interacting with Azure services. Rust developers use the crates and examples to build applications that work with Azure. The catalogue entries provide coding-agent skills, instructions, agents, and MCP integrations for working with the SDK.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-perf-test scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate a new performance test

You will generate a new performance (perf) test under the sdk/{service-directory}/{crate-name}/perf directory as ${input:testName:perf_test_name}.rs where:

  • {service-directory} is the directory name under sdk for the current ${file} e.g., core.
  • {crate-name} is the crate directory name under sdk/{service-directory} for the current ${file} e.g., azure_core.

Set up

These instructions only need to be done once. If changes described are already present, do not make the changes again.

  • Under the {crate-name} directory, in Cargo.toml add the following section:

    [[bench]]
    name = "perf"
    path = "perf/perf_tests.rs"
    harness = false
    
  • Under the {crate-name} directory, add a perf/perf_tests.rs file that uses azure_core_test::perf::PerfRunner to register and run the crate's perf tests.

  • Under the {crate-name} directory, copy sdk/core/perf.yml and change only the following contents:

    • Change ServiceDirectory to match the {service-directory}.
  • Under the {crate-name} directory, copy sdk/core/perf-tests.yml and change only the following contents:

    • Change Service to match the {service-directory}.
    • Change Project to match the {crate-name}.
    • Change the PackageVersions to replace azure_core with the {crate-name}.

Adding a new perf test

For each new perf test:

  • In sdk/{service-directory}/{crate-name}/perf/${input:testName}.rs:
    • Add a type that implements azure_core_test::perf::PerfTest.
    • Generate a perf test for the currently selected function in ${file} or specified client method name, if any.
    • Use sdk/keyvault/azure_security_keyvault_keys/perf/get_key.rs or sdk/storage/azure_storage_blob/perf/list_blob_test.rs as examples.
    • Define a test_metadata() function returning PerfTestMetadata, including any required command-line options.
    • Separate setup, the measured operation, and cleanup in the PerfTest implementation.
    • If credentials are needed, prefer the crate's existing perf-test pattern (for example context.recording().credential() or an existing helper) instead of introducing a new authentication flow.
    • If the client has options, instrument them with recording.instrument_perf(&mut options.client_options)?.
  • In sdk/{service-directory}/{crate-name}/perf/perf_tests.rs:
    • Add mod ${input:testName};.
    • Register the new test metadata with PerfRunner::new(...).
  • In the {crate-name}/perf-tests.yml file:
    • Add a top-level Tests: property if it does not already exist.
    • Add the following YAML under the Tests: property as a separate YAML array object:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
