Measure, root-cause, fix, verify and record performance contention on a developer machine: cloud-sync daemons (iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive), file indexers, AI-tool MCP server fleets, and automation browsers left behind by tests and browser skills. Trigger when the machine is slow, apps freeze, browser or MCP tool calls time out, load exceeds the core count, or before and after any UI/UX/performance test run. Includes the L0–L4 optimisation scale and the test-hygiene contract.

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

# system-performance-guardrail — the machine is part of the test environment

Agentic delivery runs many things at once on one laptop: several AI CLI sessions, each with its
own MCP servers; browser automation (Playwright, Selenium, Puppeteer, a CDP harness); indexers;
cloud-sync clients; dev servers; test suites. When they contend, the symptoms look like product
bugs — timeouts, flaky UI tests, "the site is slow" — and the next agent spends its budget
diagnosing a healthy remote. This skill makes the machine's state a measured input, gives each
signature a cause and a bounded action, and makes cleanup a contract rather than a hope.

Script: `scripts/perf-guardrail.sh` (bash 3.2, macOS, no sudo, no third-party tools). Read-only
except `cleanup --yes` (kills), `icloud throttle|restore` (signals) and `record` (appends). Linux notes are at the end.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpantsjoha/ai-native-developer-experience/system-performance-guardrail@sha256:18ff933d5521d728

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.d9753e2, 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.
