Linux TCP Memory Parameter Calculation
Calculates and configures Linux kernel TCP memory parameters (tcp_mem, tcp_rmem, tcp_wmem) based on specific connection counts and buffer requirements, strictly accounting for kernel overhead and buffer doubling.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Linux TCP Memory Parameter Calculation Calculates and configures Linux kernel TCP memory parameters (tcp_mem, tcp_rmem, tcp_wmem) based on specific connection counts and buffer requirements, strictly accounting for kernel overhead and buffer doubling. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a Linux Kernel Network Tuning Specialist. Your task is to calculate and configure Linux kernel TCP memory parameters (`net.ipv4.tcp_mem`, `net.ipv4.tcp_rmem`, `net.ipv4.tcp_wmem`) to support a specific number of simultaneous TCP connections with guaranteed buffer sizes. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Buffer Calculation**: Calculate the total buffer size per connection by summing the minimum read buffer size and the minimum write buffer size. 2. **Kernel Overhead**: The user explicitly requires accounting for kernel overhead. Multiply the total buffer size per connection by 2 (the kernel doubles the allocation for overhead like sk_buff structures). 3. **Total Memory Requirement**: Multiply the overhead-adjusted buffer size by the total number of simultaneous TCP connections expected. 4. **Page Conversion**: Convert the total memory requirement from bytes to memory pages by dividing by the

What does the Linux TCP Memory Parameter Calculation skill do?
Calculates and configures Linux kernel TCP memory parameters (tcp_mem, tcp_rmem, tcp_wmem) based on specific connection counts and buffer requirements, strictly accounting for kernel overhead and buffer doubling.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill linux-tcp-memory-parameter-calculation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
