Attribute endpoint latency and throughput limits to architectural choices when query counts grow with result size, remote calls are chatty, connections are held across other work, or a cache, layer removal or service extraction is proposed as a performance fix. Compare fetching, call topology, resource occupancy and data movement across the whole request path. Does not replace investigation methodology (performance-methodology), profiling (jfr-and-async-profiler), individual SQL tuning…

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

# Architecture and Performance

The unit is the operation from arrival to its promised completion, including work deferred
to other services when that completion requires it. Attribute cost to concrete choices:
how much data is fetched, how often a boundary is crossed, which calls must wait for others,
and how long scarce resources remain occupied. Separate direct work savings from indirect
queue effects: faster mapping may reduce pool waits when it shortens connection holds, even
with unchanged SQL. Neither that effect nor an end-to-end gain follows from local timing alone.

## Workflow

Match the requested role: diagnosis or review produces findings and checks; implement changes
only when the request includes fixes. Inspect endpoint contracts, tests, configuration and prior
decisions before treating a current pattern as a requirement. Ask only for unresolved constraints
that change the choice; continue with reversible analysis using explicit assumptions.

1. **Define the operation and workload.** Obtain the latency/throughput objective, measurement
   boundary, request mix and rate, page/payload sizes, data distribution, concurrency and cache
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add robsonkades/agent-skills/architecture-and-performance@sha256:79a953af2cb7249c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.9ecadfd, 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.
