Description
latency-critical-systems is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It guides the optimisation and verification of systems where timing matters: realtime dashboards, market data feeds, streaming agents, execution gateways, queues and caches. It is engineering-focused and is meant for work on realtime behaviour, hot code paths, streaming freshness and execution speed, including infrastructure of the kind used in high-frequency trading. The skill insists that speed is not one number. It asks the agent to split the metrics and track each one separately rather than collapse everything into a single notion of fast. The listing states that the skill does not authorise live trading or give financial advice. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows all three security audits passing.…

latency-critical-systems FAQ
What does the latency-critical-systems skill do?
It helps an agent optimise and verify systems where speed and freshness matter, such as streaming, queues, caches and realtime dashboards.
Does it give trading advice?
No. The listing says it does not authorise live trading or financial advice.
What does it mean by splitting metrics?
Tracking separate measures rather than one vague sense of speed, so the agent knows which part of the system is slow.
How do I install it?
Run: npx skills add https://github.com/affaan-m/ecc --skill latency-critical-systems
Is it free?
Yes. It is free and open source.
Are there security findings?
The skills.sh listing shows Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk all passing.
