audit-agent-speed from kensaurus/cursor-kenji is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/audit-agent-speed@git:20261001.3fce9fb

Pins git:20261001.3fce9fb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Measure and fix a slow coding-agent setup: status line, hooks, instruction bloat, effort, worktree pile-up, antivirus and indexer scans. Use when "Claude is slow" or "CPU is pinned". App speed → audit-performance.

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

# audit-agent-speed — Make the agent setup fast again

**Degree of freedom: MIXED** — measurement commands `[LOW freedom — run
exactly]`; which fixes to recommend `[HIGH freedom]`.

> **Audit-and-fix exception.** Report first, then fix. Apply local, reversible
> fixes right away. Ask before anything that needs admin rights, touches
> committed config, deletes data, or changes a user preference (effort, model).

Most of an agent's turn is model time on the provider's servers, and no local
tuning changes that. This skill wins back the **local** part: hooks, tools,
builds, git, terminal rendering, and a CPU that other processes keep pinned.

## This skill vs neighbors

| Skill | Owns |
|---|---|
| **audit-agent-speed** (this) | The agent host: Claude Code/Cursor config, hooks, status line, worktrees, OS scanners |
| `audit-performance` | The product's runtime speed (Core Web Vitals, bundles, queries) |
| `workflow-environment-ready` | Proving tools and verify commands work before a long run |
| `iterate-agent-harness` | Turning an agent failure into a guard with a regression test |

## How to reason

1. **Observe**: measure CPU per process before blaming anything. Quote the numbers.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/cursor-kenji/audit-agent-speed@sha256:593255a733064beb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.3fce9fb, 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.
