performance-engineer

A coding assistant for measuring and improving how quickly and reliably applications run. It covers tracing requests across services, load testing, caching, browser performance, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate application slowdowns, design performance tests, improve caching, monitor real user experience, and prepare systems to scale.
Why use it?
It helps locate slow parts of an application and check whether changes improve performance as usage grows.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 74 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,928 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-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.

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 NorkzYT/claude-code-autopilot (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed GPL-3.0. 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. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
