performance-audit

performance-audit is a skill for Claude Code from ashtonian/llm-init. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for examining an application's speed and resource use through profiling and benchmarks. It covers CPU, memory, goroutines or threads, garbage collection, and frontend performance measurements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to profile Go, Node.js, or browser-based applications and produce recommendations based on measured bottlenecks.
Why use it?
It helps locate the parts of an application that consume the most time or memory. Measurements provide a basis for deciding which performance problems to address.

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-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Performance Audit Skill

Structured workflow for conducting a systematic performance audit of the application. Identifies bottlenecks, measures baselines, and produces actionable recommendations.

Workflow

Step 1: Profile CPU and Memory

Run profiling tools to identify hot paths and allocation sites.

Go:

# CPU profile
go test -bench=. -cpuprofile=cpu.prof -benchtime=30s ./...
go tool pprof -http=:8080 cpu.prof

# Memory profile
go test -bench=. -memprofile=mem.prof -benchmem ./...
go tool pprof -http=:8080 mem.prof

# Goroutine profile (for concurrency issues)
curl http://localhost:8080/debug/pprof/goroutine?debug=2

Node.js:

# CPU profile
node --cpu-prof --cpu-prof-dir=./profiles app.js
# Then: chrome://inspect -> Open dedicated DevTools for Node

# Memory
node --heap-prof --heap-prof-dir=./profiles app.js

Frontend (Chrome DevTools):

  • Performance tab: Record user interaction flow
  • Memory tab: Heap snapshots before/after interaction
  • Lighthouse: Overall performance score

Capture:

  • Top 10 CPU-consuming functions
  • Top 10 memory-allocating functions
  • Goroutine/thread count under load
  • GC pause times and frequency

Step 2: Identify Hot Paths and Allocation Sites

From profiling data, identify:

Category What to Find
CPU hot paths Functions consuming >5% of total CPU
Memory allocations Functions with >1000 allocs/op or >1MB/op
GC pressure Allocation rate causing frequent GC pauses
Contention Lock contention in concurrent code
I/O bottlenecks Functions blocked on network/disk I/O

For each finding, document:

  • Function name and call chain
  • Current metric (CPU%, allocs/op, bytes/op)
  • Potential optimization approach
  • Estimated improvement

Step 3: Benchmark Critical Endpoints

Use HTTP load testing tools to measure endpoint performance:

# Quick benchmark with hey
hey -n 10000 -c 50 -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users

# Detailed benchmark with wrk
wrk -t4 -c100 -d30s -s scripts/post-user.lua \
    http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users

# Multi-tenant load simulation with k6
k6 run --vus 100 --duration 60s scripts/multi-tenant-load.js

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-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashtonian/llm-init (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,530 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
