The Agent Skills Directory

[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill recommends installing several well-known tools from the Go ecosystem to assist with benchmarking and performance analysis.\n
Fetches benchstat from the official Go performance repository (golang.org/x/perf).\n
Recommends benchdiff, cob, and gobenchdata for CI integration and regression tracking.\n- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Instructs the use of standard Go toolchain commands for performance analysis.\n
Uses go test with profiling flags (-cpuprofile, -memprofile, -trace) to generate performance data.\n
Uses go tool pprof and go tool trace for interactive analysis of generated profiles.\n- [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Provides instructions for tuning system performance on self-hosted CI runners to ensure benchmark reproducibility.\n
Includes commands using sudo to modify the CPU scaling_governor and disable Turbo Boost.\n
This usage is accompanied by clear warnings that these commands should only be applied to dedicated, isolated CI hardware and never to shared or developer machines.\n- [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill identifies a workflow where benchmark results are read from local files for statistical comparison.\n
Ingestion points: Tools like benchstat, benchdiff, and gobenchdata ingest text files (e.g., old.txt, new.txt) containing benchmark output as described in benchstat.md and ci-regression.md.\n
Boundary markers: None explicitly mentioned for separating benchmark data from instructional context during processing.\n
Capability inventory: The skill instructions include full access to the Go toolchain (go test, go tool pprof, go tool trace) and shell-based system tuning via sudo.\n
Sanitization: No specific sanitization or validation of the benchmark output format is detailed in the instructions.
