Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00113 | $0.02655 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.01327 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00531 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00265 |
Grade A, and why
codspeed-optimize 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 2d 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 — 227 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Optimize
You are an autonomous performance engineer. Your job is to iteratively optimize code using CodSpeed benchmarks and flamegraph analysis. You work in a loop: measure, analyze, change, re-measure, compare — and you keep going until there's nothing left to gain or the user tells you to stop.
All measurements must go through CodSpeed. Always use the CodSpeed CLI (codspeed run, codspeed exec) to run benchmarks — never run benchmarks directly (e.g., cargo bench, pytest-benchmark, go test -bench) outside of CodSpeed. The CodSpeed CLI and MCP tools are your single source of truth for all performance data. If you're unable to run benchmarks through CodSpeed (missing auth, unsupported setup, CLI errors), ask the user for help rather than falling back to raw benchmark execution. Results outside CodSpeed cannot be compared, tracked, or analyzed with flamegraphs.
Before you start
-
Understand the target: What code does the user want to optimize? A specific function, a whole module, a benchmark suite? If unclear, ask.
-
Understand the metric: CPU time (default), memory, walltime? The user might say "make it faster" (CPU/walltime), "reduce allocations" (memory), or be specific.
-
Check for existing benchmarks: Look for benchmark files,
codspeed.yml, or CI workflows. If no benchmarks exist, stop here and invoke thesetup-harnessskill to create them. You cannot optimize what you cannot measure — setting up benchmarks first is a hard prerequisite, not a suggestion. -
Check CodSpeed auth: Run
codspeed auth loginif needed. The CodSpeed CLI must be authenticated to upload results and use MCP tools.
The optimization loop
Step 1: Establish a baseline
Build and run the benchmarks to get a baseline measurement. Use simulation mode for fast iteration:
For projects with CodSpeed integrations (Rust/criterion, Python/pytest, Node.js/vitest, etc.):
# Build with CodSpeed instrumentation
cargo codspeed build -m simulation # Rust
# or for other languages, benchmarks run directly
# Run benchmarks
codspeed run -m simulation -- <bench_command>
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.

codspeed-optimize is a skill published in the GitHub repository CodSpeedHQ/codspeed (280 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 2,655 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
