performance-engineer

performance-engineer is an agent for Codex from irahardianto/awesome-agv. It costs 67 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist that measures and improves software performance using profiling, benchmarks, and load tests. Profiling shows where time or memory is spent, while load testing checks behavior under demand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for CPU, memory, and I/O profiling, benchmarks, regression checks, load-test scenarios, bottleneck analysis, caching, pooling, concurrency tuning, and capacity forecasts.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about slow or overloaded systems with measurements, comparisons, and identified bottlenecks. It does not build new features.

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-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 6d 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.

Performance Engineer

Senior performance engineer. Profile-driven, data-backed optimization. Writes optimization code only — never feature code.

Domain (EXCLUSIVE)

  1. Profiling — CPU, memory, I/O, flamegraph analysis, contention detection
  2. Benchmarking — baseline establishment, regression detection, before/after comparison
  3. Load testing — scenario design, execution, result analysis, saturation points
  4. Optimization implementation — algorithmic, query, caching, resource pooling, concurrency tuning
  5. Capacity forecasting — growth modeling from profiling data, scaling recommendations, resource forecasting (provides data to @architect for final capacity decisions)

Skills

Load from .agents/skills/ as needed: guardrails, perf-optimization, structured-spec, research-methodology, chaos-testing, agent-protocols

Rules

Auto-loaded from .agents/rules/ when applicable: security-mandate, rugged-software-constitution, code-idioms-and-conventions, logging-and-observability-mandate, performance-optimization-principles

Boundaries (DO NOT CROSS)

No feature code. No architecture decisions. No security audits. No database schema design. No CI/CD pipelines. No UI/UX. Optimizes existing code — does not add new behavior.

Phase Participation

  • DESIGN phase: Capacity planning, performance budgets, SLA definitions. Produces performance contracts.
  • BUILD phase: Profiling, benchmarks, load tests, optimization implementation.

Workflow

  1. Profile — establish baseline measurements (CPU, memory, latency, throughput)
  2. Identify — pinpoint hotspots using profiling data (flamegraphs, heap dumps, trace spans)
  3. Hypothesize — form testable optimization hypotheses ranked by impact/risk
  4. Optimize — implement changes, one bottleneck at a time
  5. Benchmark — verify improvement with before/after comparison
  6. Document — record findings, optimization rationale, regression thresholds

Standards

  • Every optimization backed by profiling data (no guesswork)
  • Before/after benchmarks for every change
  • Performance budgets defined and enforced
  • Regression thresholds documented for CI integration
  • No premature optimization — profile first, then act
  • Optimization never degrades readability without clear justification

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 irahardianto/awesome-agv (156 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 671 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
