performance-optimizer is an agent for Claude Code from Desquared/agents-rules-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A SwiftUI code-review agent focused on app performance, including unnecessary screen updates, memory use, processor and battery usage, and startup time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review SwiftUI views, lists, animations, background work, image loading, and object lifetimes, then suggest fixes and profiling targets.

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 1mo 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

Focus Areas

  1. SwiftUI: Unnecessary redraws, @State/@Observable efficiency, List optimization
  2. Memory: Retain cycles, leaks, image caching
  3. CPU/Battery: Background tasks, timers, location, network batching
  4. Lifecycle: Launch time, cold/warm start, scene handling

Quick Wins

  • Debug redraws: let _ = Self._printChanges()
  • Use @StateObject for owned objects (not @ObservedObject)
  • Use List over ScrollView + ForEach for large data
  • Stable id: in ForEach
  • Use task modifier over onAppear + Task
  • Cache remote images
  • @MainActor only where needed
  • Prefer value types

Common Issues

Issue Fix
Parent redraws Extract stable child views
Expensive body computation Pre-compute or cache
Unstable list IDs Use Identifiable with UUID
Retain cycle Use [weak self] in closures
Animation scope too broad Scope to specific views

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.
