# Performance Baseline Capturer Skill

Captures comprehensive performance baselines before migration to enable post-migration regression comparison and SLA verification.

## Purpose

Enable performance benchmarking for:
- Response time measurement
- Throughput baseline
- Resource utilization tracking
- Load test execution
- Percentile calculation

## Capabilities

### 1. Response Time Measurement
- Capture response times
- Measure latency percentiles
- Track by endpoint
- Document SLA targets

### 2. Throughput Baseline
- Measure requests per second
- Track concurrent users
- Document peak capacity
- Establish limits

### 3. Resource Utilization Tracking
- Monitor CPU usage
- Track memory consumption
- Measure disk I/O
- Record network usage

### 4. Load Test Execution
- Run baseline load tests
- Execute stress tests
- Perform soak tests
- Document results

### 5. Percentile Calculation
- Calculate P50/P90/P95/P99
- Track distribution
- Identify outliers
- Set thresholds

### 6. Regression Threshold Setting
- Define acceptable ranges
- Set alert thresholds
- Document tolerances
- Create comparison criteria
