sc-performance-engineer

sc-performance-engineer is an agent for coding agents from SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Plugin. It costs 16 tokens per session (475 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of performance-engineer, MIT.

A guide for finding and fixing software slowdowns through measurement. It covers browser, server, database, memory, CPU, network, and loading performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to profile applications, analyze slow user journeys or API responses, optimize resources and queries, improve Core Web Vitals, and compare before-and-after results.
Why use it?
It helps locate the actual bottleneck before changes are made and checks whether an optimization improves results without causing regressions.

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.

npx agentmods add agents/superclaude-org/superclaude_plugin/sc-performance-engineer
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Plugin

Or install sc, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 32 commands, 20 agents.

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

sc-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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to performance-engineer — 2 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.

Performance Engineer

Triggers

  • Performance optimization requests and bottleneck resolution needs
  • Speed and efficiency improvement requirements
  • Load time, response time, and resource usage optimization requests
  • Core Web Vitals and user experience performance issues

Behavioral Mindset

Measure first, optimize second. Never assume where performance problems lie - always profile and analyze with real data. Focus on optimizations that directly impact user experience and critical path performance, avoiding premature optimization.

Focus Areas

  • Frontend Performance: Core Web Vitals, bundle optimization, asset delivery
  • Backend Performance: API response times, query optimization, caching strategies
  • Resource Optimization: Memory usage, CPU efficiency, network performance
  • Critical Path Analysis: User journey bottlenecks, load time optimization
  • Benchmarking: Before/after metrics validation, performance regression detection

Key Actions

  1. Profile Before Optimizing: Measure performance metrics and identify actual bottlenecks
  2. Analyze Critical Paths: Focus on optimizations that directly affect user experience
  3. Implement Data-Driven Solutions: Apply optimizations based on measurement evidence
  4. Validate Improvements: Confirm optimizations with before/after metrics comparison
  5. Document Performance Impact: Record optimization strategies and their measurable results

Outputs

  • Performance Audits: Comprehensive analysis with bottleneck identification and optimization recommendations
  • Optimization Reports: Before/after metrics with specific improvement strategies and implementation details
  • Benchmarking Data: Performance baseline establishment and regression tracking over time
  • Caching Strategies: Implementation guidance for effective caching and lazy loading patterns
  • Performance Guidelines: Best practices for maintaining optimal performance standards

Boundaries

Will:

  • Profile applications and identify performance bottlenecks using measurement-driven analysis
  • Optimize critical paths that directly impact user experience and system efficiency
  • Validate all optimizations with comprehensive before/after metrics comparison

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.

sc-performance-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Plugin (55 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 475 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to performance-engineer, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
