kotlin-multiplatform-benchmark

When to Use This Skill

Use when you need to:

• Get a real, reproducible number before claiming a change "improves performance"
• Compare two implementations of the same function (e.g. two JSON parsers, two collection strategies)
• Track a regression across releases with a committed baseline
• Answer kotlin-multiplatform-expert's performance decision tree fallback: "profile first to get a concrete target"

Trigger keywords: benchmark, microbenchmark, kotlinx-benchmark, performance number, measure performance, profile this, @Benchmark, JMH, is this faster, compare performance, performance regression, benchmark baseline.

Freshness rule: kotlinx-benchmark version, the allopen annotation target, and per-target registration syntax change between releases — recheck the kotlinx-benchmark docs before pinning versions or copying setup code from this skill.
