Performance: why the frontend or a game runs slow, and how to fix it. Assumes the connection pattern and batocera.conf model from batocera-ops. The theme throughout: diagnose the machine state before blaming config, themes, or gamelists. Most "it got slow" reports are a throttle or a leak, not the thing the user suspects.
Batocera Tuning is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/batocera-tuning/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when a Batocera cabinet feels slow, laggy, or stuttery, or when tuning performance: EmulationStation menu/carousel lag, a slow-since-boot frontend, CPU governor stuck in powersave, overclock or CPU-speed core options that seem to do nothing, run-ahead / input latency, framerate that drops the longer the machine runs, or a 3D-heavy game (PSX/PS2/Dreamcast/N64 class) that crashes or stutters — Vulkan errors in emulator logs, picking a rendering resolution or graphics backend the hardware can afford. Covers the diagnostic order (check the throttle first), the v43 governor-at-boot failure, the emulator-name vs rom-dir-name overclock scoping trap, ES event-hook frame cost, and hardware-tier detection (batocera-info / batocera-vulkan).
The Batocera Tuning Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/batocera-tuning/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Batocera Tuning is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
