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

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

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

Runs speedtest and formats output for social media. Features:

• Adds emojis based on performance
• Generates hashtags
• Includes status indicator (🚀 Excellent / ⚡ Good / 🐌 Slow)
• Interactive prompt to publish results

Usage:

scripts/speedtest-social.sh                    # Interactive: asks where to publish
scripts/speedtest-social.sh --post-to-moltbook # Auto-post to Moltbook only

After each test, the script will ask:

📢 Would you like to publish these results?
   1) Moltbook
   2) Twitter
   3) Both
   4) Skip

This encourages regular sharing while giving you control!

speedtest-history.sh

Tracks speed test results over time:

scripts/speedtest-history.sh run    # Run test and save to history
scripts/speedtest-history.sh stats  # Show statistics (avg, min, max)
scripts/speedtest-history.sh trend  # Show recent trend

History is saved to ~/.openclaw/data/speedtest-history.jsonl

Performance Indicators

Download Speed:

• 🚀 Excellent: 100+ Mbps
• ⚡ Good: 25-100 Mbps
• 🐌 Slow: < 25 Mbps

Latency:

• 🎯 Excellent: < 20ms
• ⚡ Good: 20-50ms
• 🐌 Slow: > 50ms

Installation

The Ookla Speedtest CLI must be installed:

macOS:

brew tap teamookla/speedtest
brew install speedtest

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/ookla/speedtest-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt-get install speedtest

Check installation:

speedtest --version

Common Queries

• "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
