ghz-load SKILL.md skillA
ghz-load from testland/qa is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add testland/qa/ghz-load@git:20261011.a1bd3f7Pins git:20261011.a1bd3f7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Wraps ghz, the gRPC load testing tool, for throughput and latency benchmarking. Covers test invocation (--proto + --call + host:port; or --protoset for compiled descriptors), load parameters (-n total requests, -c concurrency, -r RPS rate limit, -z duration), output formats (json/csv/html/influx-summary for CI consumption), the metrics reported (RPS achieved, latency p50/p95/p99, status-code distribution, errors), and CI integration patterns for regression gating. Use when benchmarking a gRPC…
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
# ghz-load
## Overview
Per
[ghz.sh/docs/usage](https://ghz.sh/docs/usage), ghz accepts a
`.proto` (or compiled `protoset`), a method, a host:port, and
load parameters, and emits per-request metrics + a summary.
This skill wraps ghz for two use cases: ad-hoc throughput
measurement and CI regression gating.
## When to use
- New gRPC service - what's the throughput ceiling?
- Suspected latency regression - quantify before / after a
change.
- CI gate: each PR runs a short ghz pass and fails if p99 exceeds
the previous baseline.
- Capacity planning - at what concurrency does the service hit
its CPU/memory ceiling?
## Authoring
### Install
Per [ghz.sh/docs/install](https://ghz.sh/docs/install):
```bash
# Homebrew
brew install ghz
# Go install
go install github.com/bojand/ghz/cmd/ghz@latest
```
Verify:
```bash
ghz --version
```
### Configure a `config.json`
Per ghz docs, `--config=path` reads a JSON / TOML config. For
reproducibility, commit it to the repo:
```json
{
"proto": "./proto/user.proto",
"import-paths": ["./proto", "./vendor"],
"call": "user.v1.UserService/GetUser",
"host": "localhost:8080",
"insecure": true,
"total": 10000,
"concurrency": 50,

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/ghz-load@sha256:6ecf2b49c273cb5dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.a1bd3f7, 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.
