golang benchmark
What it does
- benchstat: go install golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat@latest
- Only include benchmarks directly affected by the change — strip unrelated rows
- Never paste results with ~ (no statistical significance) — the improvement cannot be claimed
- Include the hardware context line (goos/goarch/cpu) so results are reproducible
- Use perf(scope): commit type for performance-only changes
- → See samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance skill for optimization patterns to apply after measuring ("if X bottleneck, apply Y")
- → See samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-testing skill for general testing practices

golang-benchmark FAQ
What does the golang-benchmark skill do?
Golang benchmarking, profiling, and performance measurement. Use when writing, running, or comparing Go benchmarks, profiling hot paths with pprof, interpreting CPU/memory/trace profiles, analyzing results with benchstat, setting up CI benchmark regression detection, or investigating production performance with Prometheus runtime metrics. Also use when the developer needs deep analysis on a specific performance indicator - this skill provides the measurement methodology, while `samber/cc-skills-golang@golang-performance` provides the optimization patterns. benchstat: go install golang.org/x/perf/cmd/benchstat@latest Only include benchmarks directly affected by the change — strip unrelated rows
