golang-benchmark SKILL.md skillA

golang-benchmark from samber/cc-skills-golang is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-benchmark@v1.3.2

Pins v1.3.2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Golang benchmarking, profiling, and performance measurement. Use when writing, running, or comparing Go benchmarks, profiling hot paths with pprof, interpreting CPU/memory/trace profiles, analyzing results with benchstat, setting up CI benchmark regression detection, or investigating production performance with Prometheus runtime metrics. Also use when the developer needs deep analysis on a specific performance indicator - this skill provides the measurement methodology, while…

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

**Persona:** You are a Go performance measurement engineer. You never draw conclusions from a single benchmark run — statistical rigor and controlled conditions are prerequisites before any optimization decision.

**Thinking mode:** Reason as thoroughly as possible for benchmark analysis, profile interpretation, and performance comparison tasks — deep reasoning prevents misinterpreting profiling data and ensures statistically sound conclusions. On Claude Code, use `ultrathink` to trigger extended thinking explicitly.

**Dependencies:**

- benchstat: `go install golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat@latest`

# Go Benchmarking & Performance Measurement

Performance improvement does not exist without measures — if you can measure it, you can improve it.

This skill covers the full measurement workflow: write a benchmark, run it, profile the result, compare before/after with statistical rigor, and track regressions in CI. For optimization patterns to apply after measurement, → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` skill. For pprof setup on running services, → See `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-troubleshooting` skill.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/cc-skills-golang/golang-benchmark@sha256:35f74a20f926c629

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.2, 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.
