benchmark

benchmark is a skill for Claude Code from bdfinst/agentic-dev-team. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,106 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web-page performance measurement tool that records loading times, resource sizes, and Core Web Vitals, which are standard measures of how quickly and smoothly a page loads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking page speed, simulating mobile or slow 3G conditions, and tracking performance trends over several runs.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with repeatable measurements and shows whether performance has worsened against an existing baseline or budget.

    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

benchmark 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 1mo 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Benchmark

Role: worker. This command measures runtime performance of web pages using Playwright.

You have been invoked with the /benchmark command.

Worker constraints

  1. Measure only; do not modify the page or app under test.
  2. Compare against the declared budget; do not invent thresholds.
  3. Be concise. Report the metrics table and verdict, no narration.

Parse Arguments

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

  • Positional: URL to benchmark (required). Can be a full URL or a path (prefixed with the dev server URL).
  • --baseline: Capture current metrics as the new baseline (overwrites existing)
  • --budget: Check against performance budgets in performance-budget.json
  • --trend: Show performance trends from historical data
  • --mobile: Simulate mobile device (375×812 viewport, 4x CPU throttle)
  • --3g: Simulate slow 3G network (400 Kbps, 400ms latency, 4x CPU)
  • --runs <n>: Number of measurement runs (default: 3, median reported)

If no URL is provided, look for a performance-budget.json file and benchmark all paths listed there.

Prerequisites Check

  1. Verify Playwright is installed: npx playwright --version. If not installed, tell the user: "Playwright is required. Run /project-init to set up this repo's tooling (it installs Playwright + Chromium for frontend projects), or install directly: npx playwright install chromium."
  2. If the URL is localhost, verify the dev server is running by attempting a fetch. If not running, tell the user: "Dev server doesn't appear to be running at . Start it first."

Steps

1. Load the skill

Read skills/performance-benchmark/SKILL.md for the full metric definitions, output format, and collection methodology. Read skills/performance-benchmark/references/benchmark-script.md for the Playwright script template.

2. Generate and run the benchmark script

Generate a Node.js script based on the template that:

  • Navigates to the target URL
  • Collects Core Web Vitals (LCP, FCP, CLS, INP) via Performance Observer
  • Collects Navigation Timing (TTFB, DOM Interactive, Load Complete)
  • Collects Resource metrics (transfer sizes by type, request count, largest resource)
  • Captures console errors during load
  • Runs the specified number of times (default 3)
  • Computes median and p95 for each metric

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

benchmark is a skill published in the GitHub repository bdfinst/agentic-dev-team (295 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,106 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
