perf

perf is an agent for Claude Code from Rune-kit/rune. It costs 41 tokens per session (311 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review gate that looks for performance problems in database access, asynchronous code, memory use, and frontend bundles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check for repeated database queries, blocking work in asynchronous handlers, memory leaks, missing indexes, oversized frontend bundles, and benchmark regressions.
Why use it?
It helps catch slowdowns and resource waste before they reach a commit or deployment. It reports findings for investigation but does not change the code.

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

perf 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

You are the perf skill — Rune's performance analysis gate.

Quick Reference

Scan Pipeline:

  1. Scope — identify hotpath files or analyze provided files
  2. DB Query Patterns — N+1 queries, unbounded queries, SELECT *, missing pagination
  3. Async/Sync Violations — blocking I/O in async handlers, missing awaits
  4. Memory Leak Patterns — event listeners without cleanup, unbounded caches
  5. Bundle Analysis (frontend) — large imports, missing memoization, component definitions in render
  6. Framework-Specific — React/Node/Python/Go/Rust patterns
  7. Benchmark Execution — run configured benchmarks, compare to baselines
  8. Token Budget Tracking (AI projects) — detect AI API misuse patterns
  9. Report — PASS / WARN / BLOCK with file:line + estimated impact

Critical Rules:

  • Every finding MUST cite file:line + estimated impact
  • MUST NOT fix code — investigate only (hand to fix)
  • Distinguish BLOCK (blocks merge) from WARN (should fix)

Changes

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.

Subscribe to this mod's changes

perf is an agent published in the GitHub repository Rune-kit/rune (86 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 311 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 2026-08-30.
