What it does

Alchemy Performance Tuning is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Tune Alchemy-backed reads with measured latency, cache semantics, batching, concurrency, and freshness SLOs. Use when an integration is slow or wasteful. Trigger with "optimize Alchemy performance", "cache Alchemy data", or "reduce Alchemy latency".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live Alchemy access requires network access, an appropriate credential, account capacity, and explicit approval

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Site reliability engineering. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • An integration is slow
  • With optimize Alchemy performance
  • Cache Alchemy data
  • Reduce Alchemy latency

Example prompts

  • “optimize Alchemy performance”
  • “cache Alchemy data”
  • “reduce Alchemy latency”
  • “/alchemy-performance-tuning”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live Alchemy access requires network access, an appropriate credential, account capacity, and explicit approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define endpoint-specific latency, completeness, freshness, and cost SLOs plus the user-visible degraded state.
  2. Measure an approved baseline by chain, method, payload/page size, cache state, and concurrency; record percentiles rather than a single…
  3. Remove duplicate calls, bound pagination, choose current batch endpoints only where their documented semantics match, and cap concurrency…
  4. Cache immutable block-scoped data longer than head-sensitive data; include chain, method, normalized parameters, block/finality context…
  5. Propagate partial failures and staleness metadata through caches; never cache a degraded result as complete success.
  6. Load-test the proposed envelope, compare against baseline, prove invalidation and rollback, then promote with telemetry and stop thresholds.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live Alchemy access requires network access, an appropriate credential, account capacity, and explicit approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Alchemy Performance Tuning loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Alchemy Performance and Freshness Tuning

Overview

Tune Alchemy-backed reads with measured latency, cache semantics, batching, concurrency, and freshness SLOs. This workflow produces a reviewable artifact and negative-path evidence before any live side effect.

Prerequisites

  • Current first-party Alchemy documentation for the selected product, chain, feature, client, authentication method, limit, and lifecycle.
  • Named product, application, security, data/privacy, budget, release, and operations owners appropriate to the requested scope.
  • Synthetic or approved non-production fixtures, a credential canary, explicit success criteria, and a tested rollback boundary.

Current Contract

Performance depends on endpoint family, chain, response size, pagination, account throughput, region, cache state, and application work. There is no universal latency or batch-size guarantee. Optimization must preserve chain context, finality, partial-error semantics, and the product's freshness contract.

Authentication

Telemetry may include key identifiers, wallet addresses, or request metadata; log only approved low-cardinality fields and never credential-bearing URLs or full user payloads.

Instructions

  1. Define endpoint-specific latency, completeness, freshness, and cost SLOs plus the user-visible degraded state.
  2. Measure an approved baseline by chain, method, payload/page size, cache state, and concurrency; record percentiles rather than a single average.
  3. Remove duplicate calls, bound pagination, choose current batch endpoints only where their documented semantics match, and cap concurrency below the shared account budget.
  4. Cache immutable block-scoped data longer than head-sensitive data; include chain, method, normalized parameters, block/finality context, and schema version in keys.
  5. Propagate partial failures and staleness metadata through caches; never cache a degraded result as complete success.
  6. Load-test the proposed envelope, compare against baseline, prove invalidation and rollback, then promote with telemetry and stop thresholds.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect current documentation, configuration, code, fixtures, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved repository artifacts. Skill invocation alone does not authorize network access, credentials, wallet addresses, customer data, plan changes, spend, key creation or rotation, webhook changes, deployment, replay, transaction construction, signing, broadcast, or deletion.

Approval Boundaries

Product owns freshness and degraded UX; operations owns capacity and stop thresholds; privacy owns cached address data. Increasing spend or retention requires explicit approval.

Error Handling

  • Do not optimize by dropping failed networks, pages, or assets without declaring incompleteness.
  • Do not cache latest as though it were immutable; attach an observed block/finality context.
  • If an optimization worsens tail latency, error rate, freshness, or compute usage beyond threshold, roll it back.

Output

Return the SLOs, segmented baseline, call graph, cache/batch/concurrency design, partial/stale state contract, load results, telemetry, stop thresholds, and rollback receipt. Mark assumptions, observations, source dates, environment-specific behavior, owners, and unresolved gaps explicitly.

Examples

  • Cache token metadata by chain and contract while refreshing head-sensitive balances under a shorter product-approved freshness SLO.
  • Reject a faster multi-chain result when it hides one network's partialErrors and therefore violates completeness semantics.

Validation

Exercise and record expected and observed results for:

  • cold cache
  • warm cache
  • stale invalidation
  • multi-page response
  • partial failure through cache
  • load rollback threshold

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — recheck dated Alchemy sources before execution.
  • Treat observed account, application, network, indexer, chain, or provider behavior as environment-specific evidence, never a universal guarantee.
