Diagnose website and API performance using httpstat — a curl wrapper that visualizes HTTP timing breakdowns (DNS, TCP, TLS, server processing, content transfer). Use this skill whenever the user wants to debug slow websites, analyze HTTP/HTTPS latency, profile API response times, understand curl timing output, find network bottlenecks, check TLS handshake speed, measure Time to First Byte (TTFB), or troubleshoot any connection performance issue. Also trigger when the user has a curl command and wants to understand where time is being spent, or when they paste httpstat output and want help interpreting it. Even if the user doesn't mention "httpstat" by name — if they're asking "why is this endpoint slow?" or "what's taking so long?" for an HTTP request, this skill applies.

From the source SKILL.md

Use httpstat — a curl wrapper that breaks down HTTP request timing into discrete phases — to diagnose where latency lives and what to do about it.
