CPU, memory, network bottleneck analysis — systematic performance investigation.

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

# Performance Profiling Skill

> Find the bottleneck before optimizing. Measure twice, optimize once.

---

## The Golden Rule

> **"Premature optimization is the root of all evil"** — Donald Knuth

But also:

> **"Measure, don't guess"** — Everyone who's optimized the wrong thing

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fabioc-aloha/alex_skill_mall/performance-profiling@sha256:221b0fd9b8a6bd1f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.80a7ab6, 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.
