What it does
Makefaster is an agent skill from jjcm/makefaster. Autoresearch loop that makes the site in this repo measurably faster. Baseline a user-felt metric, work every category on the improvement leaderboard in rank order one hypothesis per iteration, finish with up to five of your own, keep or revert with numbers, and report results for the public leaderboards. Driven by npx makefaster.
Its SKILL.md is about 9.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Autonomous loops. The repository describes itself as: Make Faster — website performance tools and site leaderboard.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Autonomous loops
Example prompts
- “/makefaster”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Docker
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- get the site running
- baseline profile
- the loop: the whole checklist in order, then up to five of your own
- the stop rule
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac0d115. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodenpxgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
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.
Context cost
Makefaster loads about 9.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,210 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,210 words (~9,366 tokens).
“You are running inside a makefaster session: the makefaster CLI asked the user which of the agent CLIs installed on their machine should run the loop, and handed you this repo. The loop is identical whichever one you are, and…”
