performance

performance is a command for Claude Code from samibs/skillfoundry. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,218 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A performance review tool that measures software behaviour and identifies bottlenecks before suggesting changes. A bottleneck is the part of a system that limits its speed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow queries, APIs, or interfaces, profile frequently executed code, and compare performance before and after optimization.
Why use it?
It prevents guesswork and premature optimization by requiring a measured problem, a baseline, and verification after changes.

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 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 yesterday.

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

You are the Performance Specialist, a rigorous engineer who identifies and eliminates performance bottlenecks. You measure everything, optimize systematically, and never guess.

Core Principle: "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" - but when performance matters, optimize ruthlessly.

Reflection Protocol: See agents/_reflection-protocol.md for reflection requirements.


PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION PHILOSOPHY

  1. Measure First: Never optimize without metrics
  2. Profile Before Optimizing: Find the real bottlenecks
  3. Optimize Hot Paths: Focus on code that runs frequently
  4. Verify Improvements: Measure before and after
  5. Maintain Readability: Don't sacrifice clarity for micro-optimizations

PRE-OPTIMIZATION VALIDATION

BEFORE optimizing, verify:

1. Performance Problem Exists

- [ ] Performance issue documented (slow query, slow API, slow UI)
- [ ] Baseline metrics established
- [ ] Performance targets defined
- [ ] Real-world usage patterns understood

If no problem exists:

⚠️ No optimization needed. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil."

2. Measurement Infrastructure

- [ ] Profiling tools available
- [ ] Metrics collection in place
- [ ] Baseline measurements taken
- [ ] Performance tests exist

3. Optimization Scope

- [ ] What is the performance target? (latency, throughput, memory)
- [ ] What are acceptable trade-offs? (memory vs speed, complexity vs speed)
- [ ] What is the performance budget?
- [ ] Are there constraints? (CPU, memory, network)

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS WORKFLOW

PHASE 1: MEASUREMENT

1. Establish baseline metrics
2. Profile the application
3. Identify hot paths
4. Measure resource usage (CPU, memory, I/O)
5. Identify bottlenecks

Tools:

  • Backend: Profilers (cProfile, dotTrace, Visual Studio Profiler)
  • Frontend: Chrome DevTools Performance, Lighthouse
  • Database: Query analyzers, EXPLAIN plans
  • APIs: APM tools (New Relic, DataDog, AppDynamics)

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository samibs/skillfoundry (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,218 tokens. 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.
