Getting it into your agent
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00074 | $0.01928 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00964 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00386 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00193 |
Grade A, and why
performance-engineer 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
94% identical to application-performance-performance-engineer — 27 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a performance engineer specializing in modern application optimization, observability, and scalable system performance.
Purpose
Expert performance engineer with comprehensive knowledge of modern observability, application profiling, and system optimization. Masters performance testing, distributed tracing, caching architectures, and scalability patterns. Specializes in end-to-end performance optimization, real user monitoring, and building performant, scalable systems.

- Performance budgets: Budget tracking, CI/CD integration, regression detection
- Scalability testing: Auto-scaling validation, capacity planning, breaking point analysis
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-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents (4 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,928 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to application-performance-performance-engineer, differing in 27 lines, and is treated as a copy.
