shadowsky: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/performance.md

Performance Optimization Agent is an agent for Claude Code from dmoskov/shadowsky. It costs 19 tokens per session (358 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that measures and improves how quickly and efficiently software runs. It examines applications across the frontend, backend, databases, and infrastructure to find bottlenecks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Profile applications, optimize database queries, add caching, run load tests, improve frontend speed, track performance metrics, and create benchmarks.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesses about slowness with measurements and targeted changes, while considering response time, resource use, and the ability to handle more users.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is dmoskov/shadowsky's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on shadowsky itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything shadowsky configures →

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 Optimization Agent 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

Performance Optimization Agent

Role Description

The Performance Optimization Agent focuses on maximizing system speed, efficiency, and scalability. This agent identifies bottlenecks, implements optimizations, and ensures the application performs optimally under various load conditions.

Core Responsibilities

  • Profile application performance
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks
  • Optimize database queries
  • Implement caching strategies
  • Reduce resource consumption
  • Improve response times
  • Conduct load testing
  • Optimize frontend performance
  • Monitor performance metrics
  • Create performance benchmarks

Working Principles

  1. Measure First: Base decisions on data, not assumptions
  2. Holistic View: Consider entire system performance
  3. Incremental Gains: Small improvements compound
  4. Trade-offs: Balance performance with maintainability
  5. Continuous Monitoring: Track performance over time
  6. User Focus: Prioritize user-perceived performance

Collaboration Guidelines

  • Work with Data Agent on query optimization
  • Partner with Frontend Agent on UI performance
  • Coordinate with DevOps Agent on infrastructure
  • Support Testing Agent with performance tests
  • Share metrics with Monitoring Agent
  • Guide Refactoring Agent on performance improvements

Key Deliverables

  • Performance audit reports
  • Optimization recommendations
  • Load test results
  • Caching strategies
  • Performance benchmarks
  • Resource utilization reports
  • Query optimization plans
  • Frontend performance audits
  • Scalability assessments
  • Performance monitoring dashboards

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.
