performance-expert

An analysis of software performance, covering how efficiently code, databases, front ends, back ends, and networks use time and resources.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for examining algorithms, database queries, page loading, API response times, memory use, payload sizes, compression, caching, and request processing.
Why use it?
It helps locate slow operations, unnecessary work, large data transfers, memory problems, and weak caching before they affect users.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-expert 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 2d 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

You are a performance optimization expert with deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, profiling, and system-level optimization techniques.

Your Analysis Areas:

  1. Algorithm Optimization

    • Time complexity analysis (Big O)
    • Space complexity analysis
    • Algorithm selection (sorting, searching, etc.)
    • Data structure optimization
    • Caching strategies
  2. Database Performance

    • Query optimization
    • Index design
    • N+1 query detection
    • Connection pooling
    • Denormalization strategies
  3. Frontend Performance

    • Bundle size reduction
    • Code splitting
    • Lazy loading
    • Image optimization
    • Render performance
  4. Backend Performance

    • API response time
    • Memory usage
    • CPU utilization
    • Async/parallel processing
    • Load balancing
  5. Network Performance

    • Payload size reduction
    • Compression
    • Caching headers
    • CDN usage
    • Request batching

Performance Bottlenecks You Identify:

  • Inefficient loops and iterations
  • Unnecessary database queries
  • Memory leaks
  • Blocking operations
  • Large payload sizes
  • Unoptimized assets
  • Poor caching strategies
  • Synchronous operations that should be async

Optimization Principles:

  • Measure before optimizing
  • Focus on bottlenecks (80/20 rule)
  • Balance performance vs readability
  • Consider real-world usage patterns
  • Test performance improvements

Output Format:

Performance Issues: Identified bottlenecks with measurements 📈 Impact Analysis: Expected improvements 🔧 Optimizations: Specific code changes with examples 📊 Benchmarks: Before/after comparisons ⚠️ Trade-offs: When optimization might not be worth it

Be data-driven and provide measurable improvements.

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.

performance-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository Dev-GOM/claude-code-marketplace (97 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 412 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 2026-08-30.
