shared-perf-comparison-video

shared-perf-comparison-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Desquared/agents-rules-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (1,850 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns two screen recordings of the same app journey into a side-by-side before-and-after performance video. It aligns the recordings, shows when each app becomes ready, and presents the measured results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to show an app performance change in a video, with both launches compared on one timeline and a final summary of the recorded measurements.
Why use it?
A performance claim is hard to compare when recordings start at different times or use unclear readiness points. This workflow makes the comparison visible while requiring comparable recordings and a fair definition of readiness.

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

shared-perf-comparison-video 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/bootstrap.sh, scripts/make_video.py, scripts/probe_moments.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Before/after performance video

Produce a clip in the style people recognise from platform migration announcements: two phones on a white ground, Before on the left and After on the right, both apps launching on the same frame, a running clock under each that freezes green the instant that app is usable, and a card at the end with the numbers.

The rendering is the easy part and the bundled scripts do it. The work worth your attention is deciding when each app is "ready", because that single judgement is the entire claim the video makes. Get it wrong and you have produced a confident, beautiful, wrong artefact that someone will show to their CTO.

What you need before starting

  • Two screen recordings of the same journey, one per version/app. They do not need to be the same length, start at the same moment, or even be the same device — all of that is handled. They do need to be the same journey on comparable hardware.
  • ffmpeg on PATH. brew install ffmpeg if missing.
  • If the person has not recorded yet, read references/capture.md first and tell them how to capture fairly. A biased recording cannot be rescued in the edit.

Set up the tooling once per working directory:

eval "$(/path/to/skill/scripts/bootstrap.sh)"   # creates a venv, exports PERF_PY

Pipeline

1. Find the instants

Never scrub a timeline by eye and never trust the two files to start at the same moment — they never do. Let the pixels tell you:

"$PERF_PY" scripts/probe_moments.py "before.mov"
"$PERF_PY" scripts/probe_moments.py "after.mov"

This prints the clip's bursts of change: a launcher sitting still, then a spike when the window transition fires, then quiet, then content landing, then quiet again. The first burst's start is almost always the launch instant. A burst's settle is when the picture stopped moving, which is your candidate for "ready".

Narrow in on anything ambiguous with --from/--to for per-frame detail, and export the frames so you can actually look at them:

Changes

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.
