Running Load Tests
This skill empowers Claude to automate the creation and execution of load tests, ensuring applications can handle expected traffic and identify potential performance bottlenecks. It streamlines the process of defining test scenarios, generating scripts, and executing tests for comprehensive performance validation.
Install
/plugin marketplace add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
/plugin install load-test-runner@claude-code-plugins-plusRun these inside Claude Code. The skill comes with its plugin.
What this skill does
This skill enables Claude to create and execute load tests for performance validation. It is designed to generate load test scripts using tools like k6, JMeter, and Artillery, based on specified test scenarios. Use this skill when the user requests to create a "load test", conduct "performance testing", validate "application performance", or needs a "stress test" to identify breaking points in the application. The skill helps define performance thresholds and provides execution instructions.
Trigger phrases
Claude loads this skill automatically when you say things like:
How it works
- Identify Test Scenarios: Claude identifies relevant test scenarios, such as baseline load, stress test, spike test, soak test, or scalability test, based on the user's requirements.
- Generate Load Test Scripts: Claude generates load test scripts (k6, JMeter, Artillery, etc.) based on the selected scenarios and application details.
- Define Performance Thresholds: Claude defines performance thresholds and provides execution instructions for the generated scripts.
When to use it
- Create load tests for a web application or API.
- Validate the performance of an application under different load conditions.
- Identify performance bottlenecks and breaking points.
Best practices
- Threshold Definition: Establish clear performance thresholds to identify potential issues.
- Iterative Testing: Run load tests iteratively to identify and address performance bottlenecks early in the development cycle.

Adapting Transfer Learning Models
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill automates the adaptation of pre-trained machine learning models using transfer learning techniques. It is triggered when the user requests assistance with fine-tuning a model, adapting a pre-trained model to a new dataset, or performing transfer learning. It analyzes the user's requirements, generates code for adapting the model, includes data validation and error handling, provides performance metrics, and saves artifacts with documentation. Use this skill when you need to leverage existing models for new tasks or datasets, optimizing for performance and efficiency.
Running Mutation Tests
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to validate test suite quality by performing mutation testing. It is triggered when the user asks to run mutation tests, analyze test effectiveness, or improve test coverage. The skill introduces code mutations, runs tests against the mutated code, and reports on the "survival rate" of the mutations, indicating the effectiveness of the test suite. Use this skill when the user requests to assess the quality of their tests using mutation testing techniques. Specific trigger terms include "mutation testing", "test effectiveness", "mutation score", and "surviving mutants"
Running Integration Tests
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill enables Claude to run and manage integration test suites. It automates environment setup, database seeding, service orchestration, and cleanup. Use this skill when the user asks to "run integration tests", "execute integration tests", or any command that implies running integration tests for a project, including specifying particular test suites or options like code coverage. It is triggered by phrases such as "/run-integration", "/rit", or requests mentioning "integration tests". The plugin handles database creation, migrations, seeding, and dependent service management.
Running Smoke Tests
jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills
This skill runs smoke tests to verify critical application functionality. It executes pre-defined test suites that check system health, authentication, core features, and external integrations. Use this skill after deployments, upgrades, or significant configuration changes to ensure the application is operational. Trigger this skill using the terms "smoke test" or "st".
