perf-ratchet

perf-ratchet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ham-zax/satori. It costs 164 tokens per session (3,851 once invoked), scanned B, original, AGPL-3.0.

A measurement-first workflow for improving performance in an application, code repository, operating system, or agent harness. It compares elapsed time with repeatable counts such as calls, renders, queries, or requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to measure and improve response time, rendering work, instructions, allocations, database queries, network requests, or frame-budget performance.
Why use it?
It helps identify a metric that reflects real speed, then checks that optimizations preserve behavior instead of relying on guesses.

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 B, and why

perf-ratchet scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/call-counts.mjs, scripts/doctor.ps1, scripts/doctor.sh, …), 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.
