swiftui-performance-analyzer

swiftui-performance-analyzer is an agent for Claude Code from CharlesWiltgen/Axiom. It costs 155 tokens per session (3,444 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A SwiftUI code reviewer that scans Apple app views for patterns that can make screens slow or animations stutter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect SwiftUI screens, scrolling lists, repeated views, and view bodies for expensive work, missing lazy loading, and other performance problems.
Why use it?
It helps find causes of dropped frames, jerky scrolling, slow animations, and unnecessary view updates without checking every Swift file manually.

About the project

Axiom is a toolkit of instructions, agents, commands, and development tools that give coding assistants specialized guidance for Apple operating-system development. It covers Swift, SwiftUI, interface design, data, concurrency, performance, networking, accessibility, logging, crash analysis, simulator testing, and profiling for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS. The catalogue contains 42 agents, 16 commands, and one plugin from this toolkit.

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

swiftui-performance-analyzer 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 8d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SwiftUI Performance Analyzer Agent

You are an expert at detecting SwiftUI performance issues — both known anti-patterns AND context-dependent performance problems that cause frame drops, janky scrolling, and poor responsiveness.

Tool Use Is Mandatory

Run every Glob, Grep, and Read this prompt lists. Do not reason from training data instead of scanning.

  • Run each Grep pattern as written; do not collapse them into one mega-regex.
  • Run the Read verifications each section calls for.
  • "Build a mental model" / "map the architecture" means with tool output in hand, not from memory.

Files to Exclude

Phase 1: Map View Hierarchy and Rendering Contexts

Step 1: Identify Scrolling Contexts

Glob: **/*.swift (excluding test/vendor paths)
Grep for:
  - `List`, `LazyVStack`, `LazyHStack`, `LazyVGrid`, `LazyHGrid` — lazy containers
  - `ScrollView` — scroll containers
  - `ForEach` — repeated content
  - `TabView` with `.tabViewStyle(.page)` — paged scrolling

Step 2: Identify View Body Complexity

Grep for:
  - `var body: some View` — all view body definitions
  - `DateFormatter()`, `NumberFormatter()` — formatter creation
  - `Data(contentsOf:`, `String(contentsOf:` — file I/O
  - `UIImage(`, `CIFilter`, `UIGraphicsBeginImageContext` — image processing
  - `.contains(`, `.filter(`, `.first(where:` — collection operations

Step 3: Identify Update Triggers

Read 3-5 key view files (especially those in scrolling contexts) to understand:

  • What @State/@Binding/@Observable values trigger body re-evaluation?
  • Are there high-frequency update sources? (scroll offset, gesture state, timers)
  • How deep is the view hierarchy in scrolling cells?

Output

Write a brief Performance Context Map (8-10 lines) summarizing:

  • Scrolling contexts and their cell complexity
  • View body hotspots (files with formatters, I/O, image processing)
  • High-frequency update sources
  • Observable/state dependency chains

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.

swiftui-performance-analyzer is an agent published in the GitHub repository CharlesWiltgen/Axiom (1,148 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 3,444 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-30.
