performance

performance is a plugin for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. Its manifest loads nothing; the 4 skills it bundles cost 764 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A measurement-first workflow for improving software performance. It covers choosing a target, setting a reachable goal, collecting snapshots, and independently verifying the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate slow systems, define realistic and ideal performance goals, measure changes, and verify that improvements are real.
Why use it?
It prevents optimization based on suspicion and refuses conclusions that the available data cannot support. It also accounts for limits imposed by the test machine itself.

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 today.

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.

  "description": "Measurement-first optimization workflow for an arbitrary target, built around refusing to report what the data does not support. Four skills: target (identify and rank optimization candidates by evidence quality rather than suspicion, so an unmeasured target makes \"instrument this first\" the recommendation instead of a guess), goal (human-gated goal construction that holds a realistic target and an ideal target separately and computes the irreducible floor BEFORE any work, so a target below the floor is surfaced as unreachable-by-any-code-change up front rather than discovered as a failed goal at the end), snapshot (baseline and post capture with the host qualified first: repeated no-op spawns characterize the machine's own noise, a drift-immune counter is reported alongside and ranked above any duration, before/after arms are interleaved within one run rather than compared across two passes, and a wall-clock claim is REFUSED outright from a host whose spread carries the bimodal contention signature, naming the counter it can still report instead), and verify (fresh-context adversarial re-derivation that does not inherit the implementer's numbers, plus a report that states a target as met or not met and never rounds a miss into a win). Gates hard-block, with a named override recorded in the report. Every gate ships with a discrimination check proving it fails when its condition is unmet, because a check that passes whether or not the condition holds is worse than no check: it reports success. Normative claims carry a source tier, and the ones the benchmarking literature does not ground (sample counts, the p95 convention, counts-over-time for anything but instruction counts) are labelled as house rules rather than dressed as consensus.",

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 4 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 764 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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 plugin published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (15 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. 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.
