optimize

optimize is a skill for Claude Code from arnabdeypolimi/claude_code_setup. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,876 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of optimize, MIT.

A guide for finding and fixing slow user interfaces, including problems with loading, drawing, animations, images, and shipped code size.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to measure loading and runtime performance, find bottlenecks, and improve images, code bundles, rendering, and animations.
Why use it?
It helps identify what is actually making an interface slow before changes are made, so time is not spent optimizing the wrong problem.

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

optimize 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.

Identify and fix performance issues to create faster, smoother user experiences.

Assess Performance Issues

Understand current performance and identify problems:

  1. Measure current state:

    • Core Web Vitals: LCP, FID/INP, CLS scores
    • Load time: Time to interactive, first contentful paint
    • Bundle size: JavaScript, CSS, image sizes
    • Runtime performance: Frame rate, memory usage, CPU usage
    • Network: Request count, payload sizes, waterfall
  2. Identify bottlenecks:

    • What's slow? (Initial load? Interactions? Animations?)
    • What's causing it? (Large images? Expensive JavaScript? Layout thrashing?)
    • How bad is it? (Perceivable? Annoying? Blocking?)
    • Who's affected? (All users? Mobile only? Slow connections?)

CRITICAL: Measure before and after. Premature optimization wastes time. Optimize what actually matters.

Optimization Strategy

Create systematic improvement plan:

Loading Performance

Optimize Images:

  • Use modern formats (WebP, AVIF)
  • Proper sizing (don't load 3000px image for 300px display)
  • Lazy loading for below-fold images
  • Responsive images (srcset, picture element)
  • Compress images (80-85% quality is usually imperceptible)
  • Use CDN for faster delivery
<img 
  src="hero.webp"
  srcset="hero-400.webp 400w, hero-800.webp 800w, hero-1200.webp 1200w"
  sizes="(max-width: 400px) 400px, (max-width: 800px) 800px, 1200px"
  loading="lazy"
  alt="Hero image"
/>

Reduce JavaScript Bundle:

  • Code splitting (route-based, component-based)
  • Tree shaking (remove unused code)
  • Remove unused dependencies
  • Lazy load non-critical code
  • Use dynamic imports for large components
// Lazy load heavy component
const HeavyChart = lazy(() => import('./HeavyChart'));

Optimize CSS:

  • Remove unused CSS
  • Critical CSS inline, rest async
  • Minimize CSS files
  • Use CSS containment for independent regions

Optimize Fonts:

  • Use font-display: swap or optional
  • Subset fonts (only characters you need)
  • Preload critical fonts
  • Use system fonts when appropriate
  • Limit font weights loaded

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.

optimize is a skill published in the GitHub repository arnabdeypolimi/claude_code_setup (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,876 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to optimize, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
