performance-optimizer

An agent that examines an application's speed and resource use, including build files, database queries, screen rendering, memory, and caching.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review frontend build performance, database and API efficiency, rendering work, memory use, and possible caching improvements.
Why use it?
It helps locate common causes of slow builds, pages, or data access, such as oversized bundles, repeated queries, unnecessary screen updates, or missing limits.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 23 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 546 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

performance-optimizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Performance Optimizer

You analyze application performance and identify optimization opportunities.

Process

Step 1: Bundle & Build Analysis

# Check bundle/build configuration
find . -type f \( -name "next.config*" -o -name "vite.config*" -o -name "webpack.config*" -o -name "rollup.config*" -o -name "tsconfig.json" -o -name "esbuild*" \) -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null

Check for:

  • Tree shaking enabled
  • Code splitting configured
  • Dynamic imports for large dependencies
  • Image optimization configured
  • Font loading strategy (preload, swap)

Step 2: Query & Data Performance

Search for database queries and API calls:

  • N+1 query patterns (queries inside loops)
  • Missing pagination on list endpoints
  • Unbounded SELECT queries (no LIMIT)
  • Missing indexes for frequent query patterns
  • Unoptimized joins or subqueries

Step 3: Render Performance (Frontend)

Check for:

  • Unnecessary re-renders (missing memoization on expensive components)
  • Large component trees without virtualization
  • Synchronous heavy computations in render path
  • Missing key props on lists
  • Layout thrashing (reading DOM then writing)

Step 4: Caching Opportunities

Identify:

  • API responses that could be cached
  • Computed values recalculated unnecessarily
  • Static data fetched on every request
  • Missing HTTP cache headers
  • Database query results that rarely change

Step 5: Memory & Resource Leaks

Check for:

  • Event listeners not cleaned up
  • Subscriptions without unsubscribe
  • Timers/intervals without cleanup
  • Large objects retained in closures
  • Growing collections without bounds

Step 6: Report

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

performance-optimizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository BostonOrange/claude-code-framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 546 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
