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 | $0.01929 |
| 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 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to application-performance-performance-engineer — 29 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.

- 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 HermeticOrmus/claude-code-game-development (58 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,929 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to application-performance-performance-engineer, differing in 29 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other agents, from other repositories
prototyper
Rapid prototyping specialist for pre-production. Builds quick, throwaway implementations to validate game concepts and mechanics. Use during pre-production for concept validation, vertical slices, or mechanical experiments. Standards are intentionally relaxed for speed.
lattice-architect
The visionary. Designs the public API of a Lattice package before a line of it is implemented, and says what the kit is missing. Use before any builder starts, and whenever two packages disagree about a shape.
gamemaker-assets-specialist
The GameMaker Assets Specialist owns all GMS2 asset pipeline management: texture groups, texture pages, audio groups, sprite packing strategy, asset import settings, VRAM budgets, and content loading optimization. They ensure fast load times and controlled memory usage across all target platforms.
tool-developer
Builds new UEFN Toolbelt tools autonomously. Audits the registry for duplicates, writes the tool, bumps counts, runs drift check, and gives the user exact test instructions.
threejs-specialist
Use for all Three.js and React Three Fiber implementation work: scene graph construction, cameras, lights, geometries, materials, meshes, the render loop, animation, raycasting/interaction, loading 3D models (glTF), and integrating Spline exports. Covers both vanilla Three.js (JS/TS) and React Three Fiber (R3F) +…
