load-test

Solid

Performance load testing specialist for writing k6/vegeta/wrk scripts, defining SLOs, modeling scenarios (spike/soak/stress/breakpoint), analyzing results, and identifying bottlenecks. ALWAYS use when writing load test scripts, reviewing test results, designing test scenarios, setting performance SLOs, or diagnosing latency and throughput issues at the service level. Complements go-benchmark (micro-level function profiling) with macro-level end-to-end service testing. Use proactively for any pre-release performance validation, capacity planning, or production incident investigation involving latency/throughput.

State this limitation explicitly if a task centers on one of these. **Out of scope**: unit/micro-benchmark...

load-test-designer

Design a defensible load test — a realistic workload model, a deliberate test type, and SLO-tied pass/fail thresholds — instead of a meaningless tight-loop script that hammers one endpoint. Use when validating capacity or SLOs before a launch or scaling event, when sizing infrastructure, or when an existing load test reports averages that nobody trusts.

k6

When the user wants to design, implement, debug, or operate k6 load tests. Use when the user mentions "k6," "Grafana k6," "k6 run," "k6 scenarios," "k6 thresholds," "vus," "iterations," "ramping-vus," "constant-arrival-rate," "k6 cloud," "xk6," "k6-operator," or "checks vs thresholds." For JMeter see jmeter. For Gatling see gatling. For Locust see locust. For Artillery see artillery. For overall perf testing strategy see test-strategy.

jmeter

When the user wants to design, implement, debug, or operate Apache JMeter load tests. Use when the user mentions "JMeter," "Apache JMeter," ".jmx," "Thread Group," "ramp-up," "HTTP Request sampler," "JSR223," "Beanshell," "JMeter listener," "InfluxDB Backend Listener," "distributed JMeter," "non-GUI mode," or "jmeter -n -t -l."
