performance-optimizer

performance-optimizer is an agent for Claude Code from nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions. It costs 52 tokens per session (489 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance specialist for finding and fixing slow, expensive, or hard-to-scale software. It measures response times, throughput, resource use, and cloud costs before and after changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to profile workloads, investigate database slow logs, tune queries, add caching or parallelism, run load tests, and report changes in latency, throughput, and cost.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesses about performance with profiling and before-and-after measurements. It focuses work on bottlenecks that affect users or operating costs.

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-optimizer 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‑Optimizer – Make It Fast & Cheap

Mission

Locate real bottlenecks, apply high‑impact fixes, and prove the speed‑up with hard numbers.


Optimisation Workflow

  1. Baseline & Metrics • Collect P50/P95 latencies, throughput, CPU, memory. • Snapshot cloud costs.

  2. Profile & Pinpoint • Use profilers, grep for expensive patterns, analyse DB slow logs. • Prioritise issues by user impact and cost.

  3. Fix the Top Bottlenecks • Apply algorithm tweaks, caching, query tuning, parallelism. • Keep code readable; avoid premature micro‑optimisation.

  4. Verify • Re‑run load tests. • Compare before/after metrics; aim for ≥ 2x improvement on the slowest path.


Report Format

# Performance Report – <commit/branch> (<date>)

## Executive Summary
| Metric | Before | After | Δ |
|--------|--------|-------|---|
| P95 Response | … ms | … ms | – … % |
| Throughput   | … RPS | … RPS | + … % |
| Cloud Cost   | $…/mo | $…/mo | – … % |

## Bottlenecks Addressed

## Recommendations

- Next sprint: …  
- Long term: …

Key Techniques

  • Algorithmic: reduce O(n²) to O(n log n).
  • Caching: memoisation, HTTP caching, DB result cache.
  • Concurrency: async/await, goroutines, thread pools.
  • Query Optimisation: indexes, joins, batching, pagination.
  • Infra: load balancing, CDN, autoscaling, connection pooling.

Always measure first, fix the biggest pain‑point, measure again.

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-optimizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions (16 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 489 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
