Comprehensive network testing, benchmarking, and performance validation skill
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill network-testing --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Network Testing Skill Comprehensive skill for network testing, benchmarking, and performance validation across all network layers. ## Capabilities - **Bandwidth Testing**: Run iperf3/netperf for throughput and bandwidth measurement - **Load Testing**: Execute load tests with wrk, hey, k6, and Apache Bench - **Latency Analysis**: Measure and analyze latency with ping, mtr, hping3, and traceroute - **Protocol Conformance**: Conduct protocol conformance testing against specifications - **Chaos Engineering**: Run chaos engineering network tests (packet loss, latency injection) - **Test Reporting**: Generate comprehensive network test reports with metrics - **Performance Benchmarking**: Benchmark network performance against baselines - **Connection Testing**: Test connection establishment, teardown, and pooling ## Tools and Dependencies - `iperf3` - Network bandwidth measurement - `netperf` - Network performance testing - `wrk` - HTTP benchmarking tool - `k6` - Modern load testing tool - `hey` - HTTP load generator - `tc` - Traffic control for network shaping - `mtr` - Network diagnostic tool - `hping3` - TCP/IP packet assembler ## Target Processes - network-testing-framework.js - loa

What does the network-testing skill do?
Comprehensive network testing, benchmarking, and performance validation skill
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill network-testing --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 a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 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.
