Speedtest Skill

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

Quick Start

Run a basic speed test:
CODEBLOCK0

Generate a social-ready post (with interactive prompt):
CODEBLOCK1

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

• - Moltbook
• Twitter
• Both
• Skip

Track speed history:
CODEBLOCK2

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

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

Common Queries
