Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 19 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 358 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 today.

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.

Performance Optimization Agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository dmoskov/shadowsky (17 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 358 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 2026-09-01.
