About perf-benchmarker
perf-benchmarker is a benchmarking skill for running sequential performance tests under explicit timing and output rules. It is intended for users who need repeatable runs and structured metrics.
Key features
- 01Sequential benchmark runs
- 02Minimum run and warmup durations
- 03Anomaly reruns
- 04JSON metrics block output
Use cases
- 01Comparing performance across scenarios
- 02Running controlled benchmark measurements

Details
From the project READMEperf-benchmarker
Run sequential benchmarks with strict duration rules.
Follow docs/perf-requirements.md as the canonical contract.
Parse Arguments
const args = '$ARGUMENTS'.split(' ').filter(Boolean);
const command = args.find(a => !a.match(/^\d+$/)) || '';
const duration = parseInt(args.find(a => a.match(/^\d+$/)) || '60', 10);
Required Rules
- Benchmarks MUST run sequentially (never parallel).
- Minimum duration: 60s per run (30s only for binary search).
- Warmup: 10s minimum before measurement.
- Re-run anomalies.
Output Format
command: <benchmark command>
duration: <seconds>
warmup: <seconds>
results: <metrics summary>
notes: <anomalies or reruns>
Output Contract
Benchmarks MUST emit a JSON metrics block between markers:
PERF_METRICS_START
{"scenarios":{"low":{"latency_ms":120},"high":{"latency_ms":450}}}
PERF_METRICS_END
Constraints
- No short runs unless binary-search phase.
- Do not change code while benchmarking.
