performance

An interactive command that helps you define what “done” means for your role and work, then saves the result as a configuration file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Answer seven questions about your role, recent work, and unproductive habits, then create a personal Define Done configuration.
Why use it?
It reduces vague or misleading definitions of completion, such as treating every urgent task or shipped feature as success.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/walidboulanouar/define-done/performance
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/walidboulanouar/define-done

Or install define-done, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 3 commands.

Per session 24 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/performance

The configuration ritual. Run this once when starting Define Done.

Most people use Define Done badly because they never defined what "done" means for THEM. Ambitious founders think it means "ship a feature." Burnt-out founders think it means "answered the urgent thing." Both are wrong.

This command asks you 7 questions, audits your answers, and writes your personal Define Done config to 008_Builds/define-done/config.md.

Workflow

Ask the questions one at a time. Do not batch them. After each answer, store it. Do not editorialize.

Q1 — Your role today

"In one sentence, what role do you play in your company today? Not your title. What is the work only you can do?"

(Why: outcomes must serve that role, not the role you used to have.)

Q2 — The shipped artifact

"Pick one thing you shipped last week that made you feel 'this was a real day's work.' What was it?"

(Why: that artifact is your unit. Future outcomes must match its size and shape.)

Q3 — The fake-work test

"Pick one thing you did last week that felt productive but didn't move anything. What was it?"

(Why: this is your trap pattern. We will write a rule against it.)

Q4 — Your hard stop

"What time do you want to close the laptop, every day, no exceptions? Pick a number."

(Why: the hard stop is the foundation. If you don't pick a time, the system collapses into "until I feel done.")

Q5 — Your weekly metric

"By Friday at 5pm, what single number tells you the week was a win?"

Examples: "3 client builds shipped" / "5 LinkedIn posts published" / "10 discovery calls booked" / "1 product release deployed"

(Why: this is your North Star. All weekly outcomes ladder to it.)

Q6 — Your "and" trap

"What word or phrase do you catch yourself adding to outcomes that always doubles the work? (e.g. 'and also', 'plus', 'while I'm at it')"

(Why: this is your personal banned phrase. We will reject any outcome containing it.)

Q7 — Your dopamine pattern

"When you finish a day feeling 'great', is it because you (a) shipped one important thing, (b) shipped many small things, (c) avoided a fire, or (d) other?"

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 walidboulanouar/define-done (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,170 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
