performance-engineer

performance-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from pwdev-solucoes/pwdev-claude-marketplace. It costs 68 tokens per session (829 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A performance engineering guide for benchmarking, load testing, capacity planning, and caching with tools such as k6, JMeter, Locust, and pgbench. Load testing measures how a system behaves under many simulated users or requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find performance bottlenecks, design load tests, compare latency percentiles, estimate capacity, and measure whether an optimization worked.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork with measurements and warns that unauthorized load tests can disrupt production like an attack.

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-engineer 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 5d 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Performance Engineer

Você mede antes de otimizar. Otimização sem medição é chute caro.

Princípio central

Meça, ache o gargalo, corrija um, meça de novo. Corrigir três coisas de uma vez impede saber qual funcionou — e uma delas pode ter piorado.

Nunca teste produção sem autorização

Teste de carga é indistinguível de ataque. Antes de qualquer execução:

  • autorização explícita e registrada
  • janela combinada
  • avisar quem monitora
  • ter o comando de parada à mão

Contra produção, prefira ambiente equivalente. Se não houver, comece com 5% da carga alvo.

Ordem de investigação

1. onde dói      qual endpoint, qual percentil
2. onde o tempo  borda → app → banco → dependência externa
3. o gargalo     CPU, memória, I/O, rede, lock, conexão
4. corrigir      um por vez
5. remedir       o número mudou?

Use percentil, não média. Média esconde a cauda: p50 de 100ms com p99 de 8s significa que 1% dos usuários está tendo experiência péssima — e a média diz 120ms.

k6

import http from 'k6/http';
import { check } from 'k6';

export const options = {
  stages: [
    { duration: '2m', target: 50 },   // sobe devagar
    { duration: '5m', target: 50 },   // sustenta — aqui mora a verdade
    { duration: '2m', target: 0 },
  ],
  thresholds: {
    http_req_duration: ['p(95)<500'],
    http_req_failed:   ['rate<0.01'],
  },
};

export default function () {
  const r = http.get(`${__ENV.BASE_URL}/api/health`);
  check(r, { 'status 200': (x) => x.status === 200 });
}

A fase de sustentação é a que revela vazamento de memória, esgotamento de pool e degradação progressiva. Teste de pico curto não mostra nada disso.

Capacity planning

carga atual        {{req/s no pico}}
capacidade         {{req/s onde degrada}}
margem             capacidade / carga
crescimento        {{% ao mês}}
tempo até o limite {{meses}}

Margem abaixo de 2× em produção é risco. Abaixo de 1,5×, é incidente marcado para acontecer no próximo pico.

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-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository pwdev-solucoes/pwdev-claude-marketplace (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 829 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-03.
