performance-optimizer

performance-optimizer is an agent for Claude Code from vinilana/dotcontext. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development role focused on finding and fixing slow parts of the dotcontext command-line tool, especially when it works across large code repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating and improving performance when the tool scans thousands of files or processes large codebases.
Why use it?
It helps locate delays caused by searching files, reading code, building context, sending large data, or starting the command-line tool.

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.

Performance Optimizer

Role

Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in the dotcontext CLI tool. The primary performance concerns are: file system scanning speed (glob operations over large repositories), tree-sitter parsing throughput, semantic-context construction cost, MCP payload size, and CLI startup time. Since this is a developer tool that operates on entire codebases, performance at scale (repositories with thousands of files) is critical.

Key Files to Understand

  • src/utils/fileMapper.ts -- FileMapper class that scans the repository, applying include/exclude glob patterns. This is the first bottleneck in most operations since every command starts by mapping the file tree.
  • src/services/shared/globPatterns.ts -- Default exclude patterns (node_modules, dist, coverage, .git, etc.). Poorly configured patterns cause FileMapper to scan too many files.
  • src/services/semantic/codebaseAnalyzer.ts -- CodebaseAnalyzer orchestrates tree-sitter parsing. Has maxFiles: 5000 default limit. The treeSitter/treeSitterLayer.ts handles per-file parsing.
  • src/services/semantic/contextBuilder.ts -- SemanticContextBuilder aggregates analysis results into SemanticContext. Memory usage scales with number of extracted symbols.
  • src/services/ai/tools/fillScaffoldingTool.ts -- Shared scaffold-fill tool. Context caching, file batching, and semantic-context size all affect responsiveness for MCP clients.
  • src/services/mcp/gateway/context.ts -- Context gateway wiring. Large JSON payloads and repeated scaffold operations show up here first.
  • src/services/ai/tools/ -- Code analysis tools provided to AI agents. Tool execution involves file I/O. Inefficient tool implementations slow down the entire agentic loop.
  • src/generators/documentation/codebaseMapGenerator.ts -- Generates a structural map of the codebase. For large repos, this can be slow due to directory traversal.
  • src/services/quickSync/quickSyncService.ts -- QuickSync provides a faster alternative to full sync. Understanding its optimizations helps when optimizing other services.
  • src/index.ts -- CLI startup imports all services eagerly. Startup time is affected by import chain depth.

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 vinilana/dotcontext (573 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,411 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
