# Performance Test Design Skill
## Overview
This skill takes a system's requirements documentation and turns it into a complete set of implementer-ready **Performance Test Case Specifications** — one per Operational Profile the system needs tested — following the ISTQB Certified Tester Performance Testing (CT-PT) syllabus process, extended with real-world workload-modeling practice beyond what the syllabus covers at a summary level.
The process has exactly **two phases**:
1. **Phase 1 — Operational Profile Discovery:** Read the system's documentation once, and produce a reviewed, approved list of every Operational Profile the system needs performance-tested.
2. **Phase 2 — Per-Profile Test Case Design:** For each approved profile, in order, run it through four dependent steps (profile analysis → load profile design → throughput/concurrency analysis → test case specification) to produce that profile's complete design, then pause for human review before moving to the next profile.
This skill is the **design layer** — it stops at the specification. It never writes JMeter/k6/Gatling/LoadRunner code, and it never picks a tool.
## When to Use
- Starting performance test design for a system (or a release/module of one) from its requirements documentation, before any scripting begins.
- Discovering and enumerating the full set of Operational Profiles a system needs tested — not just designing one test case in isolation.
- Translating NFRs/SLAs into concrete, measurable, per-tr
