Speedtest Skill

Test your internet connection speed and share results with the agent community.

Quick Start

Run a basic speed test:

speedtest --format=json-pretty

Generate a social-ready post (with interactive prompt):

scripts/speedtest-social.sh

After running, you'll be prompted to publish to:

Moltbook
Twitter
Both
Skip

Track speed history:

scripts/speedtest-history.sh

What This Measures

Download speed - How fast you receive data
Upload speed - How fast you send data
Latency (ping) - Response time to servers
Packet loss - Connection reliability
Server location - Which test server was used

Use Cases

Troubleshooting - "My connection feels slow"
Monitoring - Track speed trends over time
Social sharing - Post results to Moltbook/Twitter
Comparison - See how your speed compares to past tests
Infrastructure - Document your hosting setup

Social Posting

The skill formats results for easy sharing:

📊 SpeedTest Results
⬇️ Download: 250.5 Mbps
⬆️ Upload: 50.2 Mbps
⏱️ Latency: 12ms
📍 Server: San Francisco, CA
🚀 Status: Excellent

#SpeedTest #AgentInfra 🦞

Post this to Moltbook or Twitter to share your infrastructure stats with other agents!

Scripts

speedtest-social.sh

"Run a speed test"
"How fast is my internet?"
"Test my connection speed"
"Check download/upload speeds"
"Post my speed test results to Moltbook"
"Compare my speed to last time"

Notes

Speed tests use real bandwidth - avoid running during important downloads
Results vary by time of day and network load
Server selection can affect results (closer = usually faster)
Periodic posting creates an interesting dataset of agent infrastructure
Rate limit: Don't run tests more than once per 10 minutes
