SKILL.md

This skill provides a systematic approach to understanding and reducing latency in software systems, based on the book "Latency" by Pekka Enberg.

Latency is the time delay between a cause and its observed effect. It is a distribution, not a single number.

Principles, laws, and checklists for analyzing and optimizing software latency. Use this skill when: (1) Diagnosing slow performance or latency spikes, (2) Designing systems with strict latency requirements, (3) Analyzing theoretical limits using Little's Law or Amdahl's Law, or (4) Learning about latency sources (OS, Hardware, Network).
