Use when the user asks to measure command execution time or optimize a feedback loop. Records explicit measurements and recommends faster alternatives such as unit tests versus integration tests. It is opt-in; it does not run on every command.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Cost & Speed Meter Track execution time. Suggest faster paths. Prove optimizations worked. Measure only commands the user asks to compare. Across sessions, the optional metrics file can show trends without adding noise or overhead to normal work. ## When to Use - User asks to measure tests, builds, or lint commands - User asks: "is this slow?", "how long did that take?", "what's the slowest operation?" - User asks: "what's a faster way to do this?", "what's the quick feedback loop?" - User is optimizing something — measure before, optimize, measure after to prove it worked - Working across multiple repos — compare execution costs ## What It Tracks | Operation | Tracked? | Example | |-----------|----------|---------| | `pytest`, `jest`, `cargo test`, `go test` | ✓ Tests | `45s` | | `npm run build`, `cargo build`, `pip install` | ✓ Builds | `8s` | | `ruff check .`, `eslint .`, `cargo clippy` | ✓ Lint | `2s` | | `git push`, `git pull` | ✓ VCS | `3s` | | Custom commands | ✓ Named in `.claude/metrics.json` | `custom:deploy` | ## Output ### Command Reports On demand: ``` Use `skills/cost-speed-meter/meter.sh show` for current measurements or …

How to install
mdr add benkapner/claude-code-basecamp/cost-speed-meter@sha256:3851c78c55dca913The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.c7459a0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
