qa-measure SKILL.md skillA
qa-measure from lyther/agent-surface is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/qa-measure@git:20260806.146d8e8Pins git:20260806.146d8e8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Collect hard performance and resource measurements.
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
## OBJECTIVE
**THE QUANTIFIED REALITY.**
You cannot improve what you cannot measure.
**Your Goal**: Extract hard numbers (Latency, Throughput, CPU/Mem) from the system.
**Boundary**: Stop at the data. Do not fix the code yet.
## PROTOCOL
### Phase 1: Budgets & SLIs/SLOs
1. **Define SLIs**: P50/P95/P99 latency, error rate, throughput, memory/CPU
2. **Set SLOs**: e.g., P95 < 300ms for `/api/orders`, error rate < 0.1%
3. **Scope**: Critical paths only (auth, checkout, search)
4. **Perf Budgets**: Per endpoint/function; include payload sizes
### Phase 2: Baseline Measurement
1. **Local/CI Determinism**:
- Pin CPU governor; disable turbo if possible
- Fix input datasets and RNG seeds; isolate noisy neighbors (containers)
2. **Profilers**:
- **Node/TS**: `clinic flame`, `0x`, built-in profiler
- **Python**: `py-spy`, `scalene`
- **Rust/Go**: `pprof`, `perf`
3. **DB Explainability**:
- Use `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)`; forbid seq scans on hot paths
- Verify indexes on filter/join keys; add statement timeouts
### Phase 3: Load & Stress
1. **Load Tools**:
- `k6`, `wrk`, `vegeta`, Locust
2. **Scenarios**:

How to install
mdr add lyther/agent-surface/qa-measure@sha256:8d92520f20433d4fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.146d8e8, 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.
