qa-perf

qa-perf is an agent for Claude Code from christopherlouet/claude-base. It costs 29 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for measuring and investigating application performance, including backend response time, frontend loading, memory, CPU, and Core Web Vitals, which are standard browser speed and stability measures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to establish a performance baseline, locate slow algorithms, database queries, rendering, bundles, images, caching, or connection pools, and propose measured improvements.
Why use it?
It helps find the actual bottleneck before making changes and compares measurements afterward to check whether an optimization worked.

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

qa-perf 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 16d 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.

What it actually says

Agent QA-PERF

Performance analysis and optimization.

Methodology

  1. Measure BEFORE: baseline (time, memory, CPU), Core Web Vitals
  2. Identify bottlenecks: code (O(n2), N+1), frontend (bundle, renders, images), backend (index, cache, pool)
  3. Optimize by priority: algorithm > caching > lazy loading > parallelization > micro-optimizations
  4. Measure AFTER: validate the gain

Core Web Vitals

Metric Target
LCP < 2.5s
INP < 200ms
CLS < 0.1
TTFB < 800ms

Patterns to look for

  • Nested loops (O(n2))
  • console.log in production
  • Heavy * imports
  • Queries inside loops (N+1)

Expected output

  1. Performance baseline
  2. Identified bottlenecks (file:line, problem, impact)
  3. Proposed optimizations with estimated gain
  4. Before/after measurements

Guidelines

  • NEVER optimize without prior profiling
  • IMPORTANT: Measure before and after each optimization
  • IMPORTANT: Prioritize by cost/benefit ratio
  • NEVER do micro-optimizations before algorithmic gains

Think hard about the real bottlenecks, not premature optimizations.

Changes

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.

qa-perf is an agent published in the GitHub repository christopherlouet/claude-base (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 409 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
