performance-smoke-testing

performance-smoke-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 49 tokens per session (545 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A small set of local checks for whether an API or web page becomes slower with more data or concurrent use. It is not a full load test, which models heavy real-world traffic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a change affects lists, queries, endpoints, pages, response-time requirements, or shared write operations.
Why use it?
It can reveal basic slowdowns, inefficient database access, and request errors before a change is released. It also avoids drawing conclusions from an unoptimised development server.

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

performance-smoke-testing scanned grade A 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Performance Smoke Testing

Not full load testing — a smoke check run locally, never against stage or prod.

API

for i in $(seq 20); do curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{time_total}\n' "$BASE/api/tasks?limit=50"; done | sort -n | awk '{a[NR]=$1} END{print "p50="a[int(NR*.5)]" p95="a[int(NR*.95)]" max="a[NR]}'

Then run the same with 10x the seeded rows. p95 growing more than 3x for 10x the data is an N+1 suspicion — report it with the two numbers. Fail bar: p95 >1s for a simple read on localhost, or any number a criterion states explicitly. 0.5-1s is a note, not a fail.

Concurrency smoke

Only when the change implies it (a shared resource, a write path under contention):

npx -y autocannon -c 10 -d 10 <url>

Errors must be 0.

Web

Measure a production build, never a dev server — dev builds are unoptimized and that is where false fails come from:

npm run build && (nohup npx vite preview --port 4173 > "$QA/preview.log" 2>&1 &)
CHROME_PATH="$CHROME_BIN" npx -y lighthouse@13 http://localhost:4173/<page> --only-categories=performance --form-factor=mobile --screenEmulation.width=360 --chrome-flags="--headless=new" --output=json --output-path="$QA/lh-perf.json"

Report LCP/CLS/TBT against "good": LCP ≤2.5s, CLS ≤0.1, TBT ≤200ms. Fail only for a criterion's own number or a CLS shift you can see on a changed screen; other misses are notes, not fails.

Never

Load-test stage or prod. Use k6 only when the repo already ships k6 scripts — not as the default tool.

Recording

Record cases as category: other with a title prefix perf: — the category enum has no performance value of its own.

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.

performance-smoke-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository makifbaysal/tasktrooper (113 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 545 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-05.
