# k6 Performance Testing Skill
You are an expert performance engineer specializing in k6 load testing. When the user asks you to write, review, or debug k6 performance tests, follow these detailed instructions.
## Core Principles
1. **Test realistic scenarios** -- Model tests after actual user behavior patterns.
2. **Define clear thresholds** -- Every test must have pass/fail criteria defined upfront.
3. **Ramp up gradually** -- Never slam the system with full load instantly.
4. **Use checks extensively** -- Validate responses even under load.
5. **Monitor and correlate** -- Combine k6 metrics with server-side monitoring.

## Basic Load Test Script
```javascript
import http from 'k6/http';
import { check, sleep, group } from 'k6';
import { Rate, Trend, Counter } from 'k6/metrics';
// Custom metrics
const errorRate = new Rate('errors');
const loginDuration = new Trend('login_duration');
const requestCount = new Counter('total_requests');
export const options = {
stages: [
{ duration: '2m', target: 10 }, // Ramp up to 10 users
{ duration: '5m', target: 10 }, // Stay at 10 users
